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