COURSE OVERVIEW:

The course will help the participants to recognize the importance of Boiler Flame Supervision Control and to describe the components of the safety instrumented system associated with boiler operation. Participants will gain an understanding of how flame supervision protects boilers against unsafe combustion conditions, fuel leaks, and explosion hazards. The course will also cover key functional safety terminologies and standards relevant to boiler fuel control, as well as basic hardware design principles and reliability analysis. Through a combination of theory and practical examples, participants will learn how flame supervision systems are specified, implemented, tested, maintained, and troubleshot in industrial boiler applications.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

1. Understand the principles and main components of boiler flame supervision control systems and their role in boiler safety.
2. Comprehend the importance of flame supervision in protecting boilers from potential hazards such as fuel accumulation, misfiring, and explosions.
3. Explain the function of the Boiler Flame Supervision Control safeguard system and describe typical management control sequences of operation.
4. Analyze the operation and functionality of various types of flame supervision control systems, including flame scanners and burner management systems.
5. Describe how the control system responds to different flame loss conditions such as no pilot flame, pilot lit with no main flame, and loss of flame during operation.
6. Identify switches, transmitters, interlocks, and controls commonly used within boiler safeguard circuits, shutdowns, and post purge sequences.
7. Perform basic maintenance tasks on boiler flame supervision control systems and implement preventive maintenance measures to ensure reliability and longevity.
8. Identify common issues and malfunctions in flame supervision systems and apply appropriate troubleshooting techniques using equipment history and logs.
9. Recognize key safety protocols, functional safety concepts, and standards governing boiler flame supervision and safety instrumented systems.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Instrumentation and Control Engineers

-Maintenance Technicians involved with boilers and burners

-Plant Operators responsible for boiler operation and monitoring

-Process Engineers working with steam and thermal systems

-Mechanical Engineers specializing in boilers and combustion systems

-Safety Engineers and professionals involved in functional safety and risk reduction

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive but practical and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material through PowerPoint equipped with necessary animation, learning videos, and general discussions will be provided.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
