COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Steam Generation and Distribution Operations. It covers the basics of steam generation, boiler efficiency and performance and fuel types for steam generation; the boiler feed water treatment, steam generation equipment and safety in steam generation; the steam distribution, steam piping and insulation and steam pressure control; the function of steam traps, types of steam, importance of condensate recovery and common failures and maintenance of steam traps; and the automation in steam distribution, SCADA systems for steam management, control valve positioning and regulation and alarm systems and remote monitoring. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the energy recovery and efficiency in distribution, routine maintenance practices and troubleshooting steam generation issues; the pressure drops and blockages in piping, steam trap failures and effects on distribution; the corrective measures for distribution failures and advanced control strategies for steam systems; the system integration and optimization tools, steam demand forecasting and load management and automation; the sustainable steam generation technologies, waste heat recovery and CHP systems; reducing carbon footprint in steam operations; and the renewable energy integration into steam generation.
