TRAINING.

Overview

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• Differentiate between various types of boilers used in industrial and domestic settings and understand their operational principles.
• Analyze boiler water chemistry to effectively identify and implement techniques for removing water impurities.
• Apply knowledge of external treatment processes to optimize boiler feed water quality.
• Enhance boiler efficiency through the application of internal treatment and conditioning methods.
• Learn about the treatment processes applied to condensate systems
• Troubleshoot common issues related to boiler water chemistry and recommend effective treatment solutions.

Description
Understanding the complexities of boiler water treatment is essential for maintaining efficient and safe operations in both industrial and domestic settings. Participants will explore various types of boilers, focusing on their specifications and operational principles. The webinar will delve into the purpose and importance of treating boiler water, covering key aspects such as removing impurities and maintaining water quality to prevent damage to boiler systems.

Throughout the webinar, participants will learn about external and internal treatment processes, including pretreatment techniques like clarification, softening, ion exchange, evaporation, reverse osmosis, and de-aeration. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how these processes prevent scaling, corrosion, and foaming, which are common challenges in boiler maintenance. Additionally, the webinar will cover the benefits of using condensate systems and the specific treatment processes involved in maintaining water quality and prolonging the lifespan of boiler systems.

By the end of the webinar, participants will have an understanding of boiler water chemistry and the various methods used to treat and condition boiler water. This knowledge will empower them to implement effective treatment strategies, troubleshoot problems, and enhance the overall efficiency and safety of boiler operations.

Who Should Attend
This webinar is designed for engineers, operators, and technicians involved in operating, controlling, managing, and maintaining boilers and power generators.

It is also ideal for environmental engineers, industrial staff, consulting engineers, and chemists specializing in boiler water treatment. Additionally, municipal planners, regulators, and supervisors overseeing boilers and steam generators will benefit from the insights provided.

This webinar will also be valuable to other professionals involved in maintaining and optimizing boiler systems, such as maintenance staff and safety inspectors.
