Practical Boiler Control and Instrumentation

Practical Boiler Control and Instrumentation

Description

This workshop introduces the basic practices of control 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 are designed to manage the main variables such as drum water level, furnace draft, combustion fuel, and air conditions. Burner management systems are introduced with their principal features including flame safety systems.

The essential safety requirements for boilers and burners are identified and the corresponding safety interlocks are explained as practical solutions in accordance with the latest safety standards.

Pre-requisites
Fundamental knowledge of basic Boiler plant and operation thereof and some understanding of control systems.
