SYNOPSIS

A boiler (or also known as steam generator) is a mechanical system that generates steam at the desired rate at the desired pressure and temperature by burning fuel in its furnace. The boiler system is a complex integration of boiler tubes, furnace, superheated, reheated, evaporator, economizer and air preheater along with various auxiliaries such as fuel handling system, burners, pumps, fans, stokes, air pollution control equipment, ash-handling equipment & stack etc. Boiler is the heart of any industrial plant to produce hot water, saturated steam and superheated steam for various process applications, and they are range from small package producing less than five tons of steam per hour to several hundred tons of steam per hour in the utility boiler.

A good design and operational management is important to ensure the boiler produces steam safely, efficiently and reliability. Generally performance of a boiler deteriorate over time due to various reasons such as deterioration in combustion, heat transfer, lower quality fuel and water, operation and maintenance. With increasing cost of fuel, operators and maintenance personnel have to put in greater effort in maintaining high efficiency besides maintaining high safety and reliability of the steam system.

 COURSE OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this course is to provide the basic concept and understanding of the boiler system from the design, operation, maintenance and some steam system optimization fundamentals. This course will introduce the basic guidelines and standard requirements of the boilers design also cover the standard practice that any operator should follow to ensure safe, continuous service & efficient operation.

In addition this course will also exposed the participants to steam optimization as well as best practices in carrying out boiler inspection and maintenance according to codes, regulatory requirement in achieving high safety, reliability, life extension and efficiency.
