Course Overview
This is an advanced chemistry training course for power plant chemists and boiler engineers wishing to expand their knowledge and skills, and to become more effective in their day to day roles dealing with thermal power plant chemistry.
This course will provide ample opportunity for robust technical discussion and expand on advanced concepts in thermal power plant cycle chemistry. The course focuses only on the steam/water aspects of the thermal power cycle.
This course is a MUST for all power plant chemists and boiler engineers. It is also beneficial for anyone involved in power plant operation and maintenance because it provides guidelines and rules for improving power plant performance and reliability.
Who Should Attend
- Power Plant Chemists
- Boiler Engineers
- Engineers involved in the operation and maintenance of power plants
- Managers
- Technicians
- Maintenance personnel
- Other technical individuals (this seminar is suitable for individuals who do not have a background in chemical engineering)
Course Learning Outcomes
The following are the learning outcomes of this course:
- Gain a significant increase in understanding of cycle chemistry in steam power plants and the inter-relationships between plant operation, cycle chemistry and potential failure modes due to corrosion and/or deposition throughout the cycle
- Gain a thorough understanding of all causes of corrosion in a steam power plant and all the methods used to reduce the corrosion rate in a steam power plant
- Become better equipped to effectively manage the corrosion and deposition risks in a thermal power plant
- Learn how to reduce failure rate in boilers and steam power plants and improve plant performance
- Understand condensate polishing and treatment of condensate return to industrial boilers
- Discover the causes of boiler water contamination and treatment programs
- Learn about layup and offline corrosion protection
- Understand water chemistry limits to prevent steam contamination by carryover
- Learn about boiler water chemistry guidelines and control of steam chemistry
- Understand high-purity make-up treatment methods
- Perform demineralizer calculations
- Perform system design calculations
- Gain a thorough understanding of mixed bed polishing and reverse osmosis
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 in New York (800 pages)
- Water Chemistry for Thermal Power Plant Chemists and Boiler Engineers Manual (450 pages)
