Power Plant Boilers: Normal Operations

This course is designed to familiarize participants with the tasks involved in operating boilers under normal conditions. After completing this course, participants should be able to explain what steady state conditions for a boiler are and describe typical operator concerns associated with the energy losses that occur during operation of a boiler under steady state conditions. They should also be able to describe operator responsibilities for monitoring and controlling the boiler’s steam/water system, air/gas system, steam temperature, and ash removal systems.
