Introduction

Boiler and steam system management focuses on optimizing performance, efficiency, and reliability while minimizing costs. Key aspects include:

Performance Management: Ensuring the system delivers steam at the right pressure and temperature with minimal energy loss.

Efficiency Optimization: Maximizing heat output and reducing fuel consumption through proper combustion, heat transfer, and system maintenance.

Troubleshooting: Quickly diagnosing and fixing issues like pressure drops, poor steam quality, and combustion problems to avoid downtime and costly repairs.

Heat Recovery: Capturing waste heat to improve energy efficiency and reduce fuel usage.

Objective

- This course will guide the participates to develop key concepts and techniques to design, operate and troubleshoot a boiler, with an introduction to types of boilers and their advantages. These key concepts can be utilized to make design and operating decisions.
- Training and development is an investment in future success - give yourself and your employees the keys to success.
- Give the employees the principles of
  - How to operate boiler efficiently & safely. This cannot be achieved without first an understanding of combustion principles.
Energy conservations

Audience
