Course Overview
In most facilities, the boiler is the device with the most potential for disaster making boiler operation training a key part of any facility's overall safety. Available in instructor-led format, this WorkmanSkills two-day Boiler Plant training course provides participants with the practices and procedures to eliminate both disaster and operational downtime. It offers a great overview for maintenance technicians, multi-craft trades people, building managers, stationary engineers, or anyone seeking to improve their boiler maintenance and operation skills.
This WorkmanSkills training course introduces the practices of controls systems and safety controls for industrial steam generating boilers. It focuses on the control and safety requirements applicable to most types of boilers from small gas-fired units to large multi-fuel installations. The workshop will provide training in how control and instrumentation is designed to manage the main variables such as drum water level, furnace draft, combustion fuel and air conditions.
