Breakfast, two refreshment breaks and lunch are provided daily.
Introduction
This seminar provides detailed description of all the methods used to reduce the heat rate (increase the efficiency) of pulverized coal and circulating fluidized bed coal power plants. All the processes, operational and maintenance activities, capital projects, technical options, potential initiatives and incentives to implement upgrades/repairs for increasing the plant efficiency will be covered in detail. This seminar will also provide in-depth explanation of all the equipment and systems used in coal power plants. This includes, boilers, superheaters, reheaters, turbines, condensers, feedwater heaters, deaerators, pumps, compressors, fans, electric generators, instrumentation and control systems, and governing systems, etc. All the factors which affect the power plant efficiency and emissions will be explained thoroughly. All the methods used to calculate the heat rate of the power plant will be covered in detail. All the areas in pulverized coal and circulating fluidized bed power plants where efficiency loss can occur will be explained. This seminar will also provide up-dated information in respect to the following methods used to improve the power plant heat rate:
- Optimizing the Combustion Process and Sootblowing
- Controlling the Steam Temperature
- Recovering Moisture from Boiler Flue Gas
- Performing Steam Turbine Maintenance
- Lowering Condenser Back Pressure
- Pre-drying High Moisture Coal and Reducing Stack Temperature

Training Methodology
The instructor relies on a highly interactive training method to enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all the delegates gain a complete understanding of all the topics covered. The training environment is highly stimulating, challenging, and effective because the participants will learn by case studies which will allow them to apply the material taught to their own organization.
Special Feature
Each delegate will receive a digital copy of the following materials written by the instructor:
- “POWER GENERATION HANDBOOK” second edition published by McGraw-Hill in 2012 (800 pages)
- Excerpt of the relevant chapters from the “POWER PLANT EQUIPMENT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE” published by McGraw-Hill in 2012 (800 pages)
- HEAT RATE OPTIMIZATION MANUAL (includes practical information about all the methods used to optimize the heat rate in coal power plants - 300 pages)
