COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Certified Thermal Power Plant Chemist & Boiler Engineers. It covers the types, basic working principle and key components of thermal power plants; the types of boilers used in thermal plants, boiler mounting and accessories, basic heat transfer principles, steam generation and thermodynamics; the water chemistry in power plants, chemistry of fuel and combustion, chemical dosing systems and plant layout and process flow diagrams; and the boiler water chemistry control, cooling water treatment and laboratory analysis techniques. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the water treatment units covering RO, UF and EDI system working principles and mixed bed polishers; troubleshooting water treatment systems and membrane fouling and cleaning; the corrosion monitoring and mitigation, online monitoring systems, steam cycle chemistry at start-up and shutdown chemistry; the condensate and feedwater system chemistry and heat balance and efficiency calculations; and the flue gas analysis and optimization and boiler tuning practices. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the sludge and scale management, sampling techniques and best practices; the environmental regulations for power plants and effluent treatment plant (ETP) operations; the air pollution and flue gas control, waste management in power plants and emergency handling of chemical spills; the incident investigation and root cause analysis, steam purity and turbine protection and condition monitoring and failure analysis; and the water chemistry audit procedures, operational data correlation, benchmarks and KPIs and energy and water conservation practices.
