Description<br />
The Boiler Performance Optimization seminar is designed to aid personnel assigned the task of measuring<br />
and maintaining plant and boiler performance objectives. The emphasis will be on boiler performance in<br />
general and on Combustion System Optimization in particular. The lessons focus on the following systems<br />
and equipment:<br />
• Utility Boilers<br />
• Fuel Firing Equipment/Firing Systems<br />
- T-fired<br />
- Wall-fired<br />
- Oil and Gas<br />
• Pulverizers<br />
• Flue Gas Emissions Optimization<br />
• Soot Blower Optimization<br />
• Boiler Controls<br />
With the exception of the coverage of pulverizers, these theories and calculations can be applied to<br />
oil and gas-fired boilers.<br />
Who will benefit most from participating?<br />
• Engineers responsible for plant and boiler performance<br />
• Plant Instrument & Controls Engineers and Technicians<br />
• Testing staff<br />
• Operations/Shift Supervisors<br />
NOTE: A minimum of 3 years of performance engineering or plant engineering is recommended.<br />
Content<br />
Fundamentals of Boiler Performance are addressed from multiple perspectives:<br />
• Steam generator design principles<br />
• Coal, ash, air, and water properties<br />
• Basic turbine performance<br />
• Boiler efficiency and heat transfer analysis<br />
• Fossil fuel combustion<br />
• Combustion optimization<br />
• Pulverizer performance<br />
• Boiler operation and troubleshooting<br />
Course Objectives<br />
At the successful completion of the training, the student will be able to:<br />
• Identify performance problems with boilers and pulverizer firing systems<br />
• Evaluate the impacts of off-design performance<br />
• Devise testing programs to evaluate performance shortcomings<br />
• Identify test data inconsistencies<br />
• Plan corrective measures for performance problems<br />
• Communicate with operations to determine if the required changes are understood<br />
and applied to everyday operation.<br />

Instructors<br />
Joseph (Joe) hallstrom<br />
Joe Hallstrom graduated from Rensselear Polytechnic Institute with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical<br />
Engineering. He began his career at The Babcock & Wilcox Company in Barberton, Ohio as a Field Service<br />
Engineer. During that time, he worked in a wide variety of positions including commissioning and troubleshooting,<br />
performance evaluation and improvement and project management.<br />
In 1998, he joined Alstom Power <strong>Inc</strong>. (ABB-Combustion Engineering at the time) in the Firing Systems group,<br />
bringing his wall-fired expertise to the new RSFC wall-fired burner technology under development. He later<br />
transferred to the Technical Services group, bringing his skills and expertise in boiler performance and combustion<br />
performance back to the field. Since then he has been involved in many successful tuning and performance projects.<br />
Gerard (Jerry) Chase<br />
Jerry Chase graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical<br />
Engineering and began his engineering career at the United Illuminating Company in New Haven, Connecticut.<br />
Initially assigned to their downtown Mechanical Engineering group performing power plant improvement projects,<br />
he later worked as a results engineer at UI’s Steel Point and Bridgeport Harbor Stations. In 1980, he joined<br />
Combustion Engineering in their Performance Design group, focusing principally on boiler pressure part evaluation<br />
and retrofit design. From 1989 until 1996 he served as district manager for Field Service Engineering in the<br />
Northeast U.S. Since 1996, he has managed a variety of the company’s Engineering groups, including Service<br />
Performance Design, Performance Testing, Ash Systems Engineering, I&C Engineering and Pulverizer Service<br />
Engineering. He currently serves as Chief Engineer for Alstom Power, Boiler Service Operations. Jerry has been a<br />

Instructor<br />
Jim Schoonmaker<br />
With Alstom since 1973, Jim is responsible for the development of customized training material for a wide<br />
variety of power generation subjects. He has worked at steam plants since 1969, first as an operator.<br />
During Jim’s more than three decades working for Alstom, his primary responsibilities have centered on<br />
coal-fired boiler inspection, coal preparation equipment maintenance and firing system operation. During<br />
his years in the field he supervised the overhaul of numerous pulverizer designs and performed tests aimed<br />
at optimizing performance for both eastern and western coals.<br />
