Boiler Operations and Maintenance with Inspection, Repairs and Alterations Combo Course - ASME
Course Description
Boilers are important energy consuming equipment in most manufacturing plants, and their production of steam or hot water generally uses old and well proven technology. Basic boiler technology has changed relatively little over the years, although significant achievements have been realized in recent years in the area of controls. Boilers are a closed vessel under high pressure and high temperature in most industries plants and their production are steam or hot water. This course will familiarize the participants with the operation and maintenance of boilers.

The Presentation, supplied documents, and workshop exercises of the course are in English; however, based on the trainees' desires, use of bilingual (English and Arabic) for oral explanation is available.

By the end of this course the participants will:

  • Know more information about boiler classification.
  • Know the Factors affecting the design boilers.
  • understanding the Combustion principles
  • understanding boiler Operation , start–up and shutdown Procedures
  • Know and Understanding control and protection of boiler.
  • understanding Boiler Inspection During Operation
  • Know and Understand the Boiler Maintenance and Troubleshooting
