Fuel consumers face a double challenge. One is economic - to get the best heating value for every fuel dollar. The other is environmental - to keep emissions low, at least within legislated limits. Fortunately, what benefits the first objective also benefits the second. A boiler installation costing $75,000 can easily consume over $400,000 in fuel every year. Consequently, even with very economical fuel costs, a difference of just a few percentage points in boiler efficiency can translate into substantial savings. Understanding boiler operating costs is the key to maximizing investments year in and year out. This 6 - hour Quick Book provides simple facts and energy efficiency opportunities in the areas of combustion management, makeup & feed water management, condensate return, blow-down system, waste heat recovery and steam distribution & utilization. This book focuses on these aspects and suggests the possible improvements in 3 main areas: 1.Combustion Management 2.Makeup, Feedwater, Condensate & Blowdown Management 3.Steam Management (distribution & use) This course is aimed at mechanical, chemical & process engineers, system design engineers working in power, oil & gas, chemical, metal & mining, manufacturing and engineering industries, energy auditors, operational and maintenance personnel. Learning Objective At the conclusion of this course, the student will be aware of: -Direct and indirect method for evaluating boiler efficiencies -Establishing list of energy losses in a boiler system -Combustion analysis; Excess air control and Air-Fuel mix -Heat recovery systems (economizers, preheater, flue gas condensing etc) -Waterside and fireside problems -Boiler water treatment approaches -Importance of condensate recovery -Blowdown optimization and waste heat recovery using flash tanks/ heat exchangers -Energy efficiency in steam distribution -Energy efficiency in steam utilization -Automation using burner controls and oxygen trims -Boiler audit checkpoints & questionnaire
