Why Attend This Training Course?

Boiler operation is complicated, especially for modern boilers that are fully automatic. Safety, efficiency, and constant generation of steam or hot water depend on the smooth operation of the boiler. A maintenance program should be established based on the type of boiler, history, and the age of the boiler to increase efficiency, ensure safety, and prevent unscheduled shutdowns. This course has been designed to provide participants with comprehensive knowledge of boiler operation and maintenance, combustion control and feed water management. Problems in boiler operation methods of efficiency improvement, Best practices for preventive and corrective maintenance based on inspection according to codes & standards will be explained and discussed and problem solving and troubleshooting will be illustrated through several real world case studies. Maintenance and repair of the auxiliary mechanical equipment such as fans and pumps, will be also explained in detail. Overall, this program is designed to help maximize safety, dependability, and efficiency, thus extending boiler life, improving boiler efficiency, saving energy costs for the employer, and establishing a culture of safe work practices among the employees.
