Boilers: Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

The boiler is a device with the most potential for disaster, making boiler operation training a key part of any facility’s overall safety. 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. Maintenance is performed on the boilers to increase efficiency, ensure safety, and prevent unscheduled shutdowns. A maintenance program should be established based on the type of boiler, history, and the age of the boiler.

This training course seeks to improve the boiler maintenance and operation skills of the participants. Attendance will ensure that the participants gain a comprehensive understanding of commercial, industrial and utility boiler systems. Boiler inspections, operating controls testing and general troubleshooting tips too will be discussed. This training course is designed to help maximise safety, dependability, and efficiency, thus extending boiler life, improving boiler capability, saving energy costs, and establishing a culture of safe work practice among the workforce.

The key features of the Boilers: Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting training course are:

  • Boilers Design Characteristics
  • Understanding of Heat Transfer principles
  • International Codes and Standards for fabrication, operation and maintenance
  • Problems in operation: Feed water Treatment, Fouling and performance monitoring
  • Inspection of corrosion, erosion and structural integrity
  • Maintenance troubleshooting tips
  • Safely and efficiently operation of Boilers
  • Boilers inspection and performance testing

Cooling Towers: Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Cooling Towers are considered a vital element of the overall water-cooling system in power generation plants, as well as in process and petrochemical plants. The efficiency of cooling towers relies on the accurate and reliable information on the outdoor wet bulb temperature, required to avoid cooling tower increased water and energy usage and reduced lifetime of fans and pumps. Operations of cooling towers in general faces many safety and health challenges related to the use of water, which requires continuous control of corrosion rate and microbiological growth, the corresponding chemical and physical water treatments represent important element in the overall energy consumption.

This training course will cover many important aspects of cooling tower process control, correct operation and water management. Methods of efficiency improvement of the cooling tower operation will be explained and discussed. Best practices for preventive and corrective maintenance as well as problem solving, and troubleshooting will be illustrated through several real-world case studies and presented in the form of workshops. Maintenance and repair of the auxiliary mechanical equipment such as fans and pumps will be explained in detail.

The key features of the Cooling Towers: Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting training course are:

  • Better understanding of cooling tower technologies
  • Understanding water treatments effective methods
  • Understanding chemical reaction inside cooling towers
  • Knowledge about effective operation and maintenance of cooling towers
  • Complete understanding of water treatment and its impact on performance
  • Knowledge to perform effective inspection & preventive maintenance of equipment
  • Skill to perform RBI and FMEA for cooling towers, most modern and new techniques
