This free course is a short, detailed, and tailored guide to the processes, equipment, best practices, and general and standard principles used in the production of industrial steam from boiler feedwater to the steam header. It outlines the operations carried out from startup through shutdown, including the changeover of boiler feedwater pumps, the forced draft (FD) fan, and the scanner cooling air fan. This course will guide you through every single step and enrich your knowledge, skill, and grasp of the production of steam.
Did you know that additional heat, known as superheat, is added to steam so as to raise it above saturation temperature and avoid quick condensation? This course is intended to help process engineers, operators, and technicians to consciously develop, evaluate, and improve their knowledge of steam production and boiler operations. It has applications in power plants, food and beverages processing facilities, refineries, gas processing plants, and all oil and gas production facilities.
This course also gives a general overview of boilers and all the critical subsystems integrated for efficient boiler operation. It talks about boiler feedwater systems, air and flue gas systems, fuel/firing systems, cooling air systems, and steam systems. Did you know that the exhaustion of flue gas from the burners to the stack is achieved via the stack/chimney effect? Find out this and many more in this course. Enrol now!
