Introduction

This is an intensive short course and will be based upon a mixture of classroom instruction and discussion combined with workshop sessions. It will also make use of multi-media materials and involve small group and individual problem solving workshop sessions to reinforce the learning experience.

Objective

The course is broadly designed to incorporate all issues related to boilers starting with design aspects, installation, operation, control and boiler maintenance. Other issues are included within the course such as legal requirements and regulations, environmental and safety aspects, energy consumption, boiler efficiency and water treatment. For more course details, please refer to the course topics.

Audience

Boiler Design Engineers (Mechanical and Chemical), Boiler Inspectors, Steam Plant Operators, Maintenance Technicians, Engineers & Managers, Operation Managers, Safety Officers & Technicians, Environmental Officers, and Boiler Design Engineers are recommended to attend the course.

MAESTRO CONSULTANTS Certificate of Completion for delegates who attend and complete the training course.

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
