INTRODUCTION
Boiler is an essential component of modern power plant as well as in any process and petrochemical plant. Modern boiler has to produce steam in an efficient and safe manner with the lowest operational cost that is practical. The safety of steam production and boiler operation presents important element in the overall steam production management. Boiler operation has to be in an environmentally acceptable way, including the aspects of combustion, but also chemical water treatment and other safety considerations.
This training course will cover many important aspects of boiler operation, combustion control and feed water management. Methods of efficiency improvement of the boiler operation will be explained and discussed. Best practices for preventive and corrective maintenance based on inspection according to Codes & Standards will be explained and discussed. Problems in boiler operation will be discussed and problem solving and troubleshooting will be illustrated through several real world case studies and presented in the form of workshops. Maintenance and repair of the auxiliary mechanical equipment such as fans and pumps, will be explained in detail.
Participants on the Boilers training course will develop the following competencies:
- Better understanding of boiler and steam generator technologies
- Knowledge about effective operation and maintenance of boilers
- Complete understanding of water treatment and its impact on boiler performance
- Knowledge to perform effective inspection & preventive maintenance of equipment
- Skill to perform troubleshooting and find the root cause of boiler problems
SEMINAR OBJECTIVES
- Explanation of functions of controls, safeguards, interlocks and alarm systems
- Describe correct procedures for boiler starting up and shutdown
- Explanation of the malfunctions that can cause boiler shutdown
- Identification of the appropriate boiler feed water treatment methods
- Identification of important steps in inspection of cooling towers
- Recommendation of the best practices for preventive maintenance of cooling tower
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
- Technicians and engineers in charge of boiler operation
- Technical personnel dealing with boilers maintenance
- Boiler inspectors and contractors
- Technical personnel in charge of steam generation and distribution systems
TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The Boilers training course will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures and interactive worked examples. The emphasis will be on the explanation of all technical points and providing answers to problems that are encountered in everyday industrial practice regarding the efficient operation and maintenance of industrial boilers. Each learning point will be reinforced with practical examples and case studies. There will be ample opportunities for active discussion during the workshops and video presentations. The sharing professional experiences and exchange will help solidify the gained knowledge. All seminar materials will be provided.
SEMINAR SUMMARY
This training seminar covers essential elements of boiler efficient and safe operation including the details of boiler control systems: safeguards, interlocks and alarm systems, required for start-up, shutdown. Preventive and corrective maintenance seminars are discussed and explained as well as the troubleshooting procedures to avoid boiler accidents. The training course will enable the participants to develop deeper understanding of boiler operation so as to be able to solve practical problems as they encounter them.
