What is Covered in This Course

 Course Content

Steam boilers of various designs and applications are encountered nowadays throughout refining, petrochemical and process industries as well as in power generation and environmental engineering. 
 
This course is designed to provide you with a complete understanding of construction details and functioning of steam boilers.  

This understanding is a prerequisite for a successful, efficient and safe operation of your plant and piping system.  

In this course, we will cover many steam boiler designs but the focus will be on shell boilers as these are the most popular and widely spread equipment.

The course includes:

  • Detailed technical descriptions
  • Basic step-by-step instructions 
  • Extensive graphics 
  • Sizing tables, 
  • Engineering data
  • End section quizzes
  • Numerous worked examples to emphasize the key learning points
  • Animations to give you a virtual practical exposure on steam boilers

Objective of the Course

  • Break down for you all the steam boiler operating principles into easily digestible concepts, like heat transfer theory and boiler controls just to name a few
  • Illustrate through animations and cross-sectional views the main boiler house mechanical components, state their function and operating limits
  • Provide guidelines and best practices for operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of steam boilers. The guidelines presented in this course are in accordance with the latest ASME and other applicable standards
By taking this valuable course, you will learn from our industrial experience what we wrongly calculated or what we wrongly did during boiler startup, debottlenecking and troubleshooting. This should undoubtedly help you minimize the mistakes in the design and operation of your steam boilers.

What You Will Able to do at the End of the Course?

  • Gain a thorough understanding of the boiler house and industrial boiler operation 
  • Gain the knowledge required to confidently operate your boiler house safely and efficiently 
  • Gain a valuable overview of boiler controls: water level controls, blowdown procedures, etc. 
  • Understand the importance of feed water systems and water treatment 
  • Appreciate how the water quality in your boiler has a big impact on energy efficiency and the reliability of your whole steam system 
  • Monitor and control your boiler water quality and level to suit the changing steam demand 
  • Perform routine safety checks including gauge glass operation, evaporation test and cold start-up 
  • Diagnose and fix common water level issues 
  • Recognise and deal with steam boiler emergencies 
  • Know, read, understand and interpret combustion results to recognise good combustion
