COURSE OVERVIEW:

This advanced course will cover waste incineration system operation with a detailed description of process principles, system components, and associated environmental effects. Participants will gain an in depth understanding of how waste incineration plants are configured, how each section of the system operates, and how operating conditions impact emissions, energy recovery, and environmental performance.

The course will also highlight regulatory and environmental requirements, monitoring and control of emissions, and best practices for safe, efficient, and compliant operation of waste incineration systems. Case studies and practical examples from utilities and power facilities will be used to connect concepts to real operating situations.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

1. Explain the role of waste incineration systems within utilities, power, and industrial facilities and their contribution to waste management and energy recovery.
2. Describe the main types of waste incineration technologies and their suitability for different waste streams.
3. Identify and describe the key components and process sections of a waste incineration system, including waste handling, combustion, flue gas treatment, energy recovery, and residue handling.
4. Explain the fundamentals of combustion in waste incineration, including air supply, temperature control, residence time, and mixing.
5. Describe the environmental impacts associated with waste incineration, including key pollutants, emission pathways, and potential impacts on air, soil, and water.
6. Interpret and apply basic environmental and regulatory requirements relevant to waste incineration emissions and residues at an operational level.
7. Operate waste incineration systems within defined operating envelopes, using process data and control systems to maintain stable, efficient, and compliant operation.
8. Monitor and interpret key operating and environmental performance indicators and initiate appropriate corrective actions when deviations occur.
9. Apply basic troubleshooting and optimization techniques to improve combustion stability, reduce emissions, and enhance system reliability.
10. Participate effectively in incident response, emergency handling, and continuous improvement activities related to waste incineration systems.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Operations engineers – utilities and power

-Utilities engineers involved in waste and energy facilities

-Operations professionals working with waste incineration or related environmental systems

-Control room and field operators in utilities and power plants handling waste incineration units

-Maintenance and technical support staff interacting with incineration and flue gas treatment systems

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 will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

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.
