Certified Boiler Operation, Instrumentation and Control

Introduction

This course is designed to teach building and facility maintenance personnel about boiler operation, maintenance and safety. The course is broadly designed to incorporate all issues related to boilers starting with design aspects, installation, and operation 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 operating a treatment plant. For more course details, please refer to the course topics. 

Upon completion of this course, participants will have an understanding of the chemistry of boiler water treatment for scale, corrosion, and carryover control, treatment options for the gamut of industrial boiler system pressures, the options, and precautions associated with boiler chemical cleaning, and metallurgical analysis of failed boiler specimens.
