As heat transfer specialists, if there’s one thing we’ve learnt over the years (and now comes as no surprise), it is just how often those purchasing new steam boilers consider something entirely inappropriate, frequently over specified but usually because they have little knowledge of steam systems!
Anyone willing to sell you a new steam boiler should be prepared to discuss the ‘process’ of buying and running one and how a steam boiler can benefit your processes. However, it is also extremely important that you, or the person responsible for specifying your steam raising equipment, also have a basic understanding of the specification task.
Our CPD course is aimed at increasing the knowledge of the consultant engineers, installations contractors, specifiers or end users responsible for selecting steam raising equipment. The knowledge the course provides will increase the likelihood of correctly specifying equipment that best suits your steam demands; and provide insight that should ensure your steam boiler maintains low lifecycle costs and meets all relevant and mandatory pressure vessel and combustion requirements.
The course will enable those tasked to correctly select the most suitable steam raising product by:
- Differentiating vertical tubeless boilers from steam generators, water tube steam boilers and shell and tube horizontal boilers
- Differentiating vertical spiral rib tubeless steam boilers from other tubeless vertical boilers
- Identifying key attributes across all generic designs, covering steam production and its key properties (steam quality determined by velocity, pressure, disengagement area, steam chest volume, height of steam space), low NOx burner technology (inclusive of relevant legislation e.g., MCPD), operational thermal stresses (boiler failures and inspection legislation e.g., SBG01)
- Introducing water treatment processes and the implications of boiler failure and process downtime due to poor treatment
- Identifying efficiency savings, including turndown ratios, micro modulation burner controls, etc.
- Looking at total cost of ownership implications
