Boilers

Many process facilities utilise steam as the major heating medium within heat transfer equipment on the facility. This steam is normally generated in a boiler house where fossil fuels are burnt to produce the heat for the steam production. The generated steam is often at a variety of pressures and temperatures. This course is designed for those who operate or are responsible for the operation of such boiler facilities. The course will cover such areas as properties of saturated and superheated steam, combustion calculations, excess air and generation efficiency, types of boilers, water and steam purity, pressure reduction and desuperheating, boiler control, steam distribution and condensate recovery.
