COURSE OVERVIEW

This course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of steam boiler systems, their operation, and maintenance within industrial environments such as oil, gas, and petrochemical facilities. It covers the fundamentals of heat transfer, steam generation, boiler configuration, and turbine operations, focusing on the safe and efficient operation of boilers and associated steam systems.

Participants will gain both theoretical and practical insights into boiler start-up and shutdown procedures, steam quality control, and steam distribution systems. Emphasis is placed on safety management, efficiency improvement, and troubleshooting, enabling operators to identify and prevent common boiler operational issues.

By combining classroom instruction with real operational case studies, the course equips participants with the essential knowledge to operate boilers safely and ensure optimal performance of steam systems across various industrial applications.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions, as well as case studies, will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge, and experience transfer. 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 learning. 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.
