More details

Description
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
and animations to give you a virtual practical exposure on steam boilers
Now the objective of this training course is threefold :
ONE. 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
TWO. Illustrate through animations and cross-sectional views the main boiler house mechanical components, state their function and operating limits
THREE. 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.
So with no further ado, check out the free preview videos and the curriculum of the course and we look forward to seeing you in the first section.
Thank you for watching, hope to see you there !
