ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
This 5 full-day course will provide a comprehensive understanding of the design
of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers. The design of all CFB boiler
components and equipment including furnace, cyclones, economizers, superheaters,
reheaters, loop seals, expansion joints, refractory, and L-valves will be
covered in detail. All potential operating problems and major operating
problems, corrective actions and maintenance required for CFB boilers will be
covered thoroughly.
This course will focus on designing CFB boilers that have the highest
efficiency, and maximum longevity and capacity factor. All the common problems
encountered in CFB Boilers will be discussed in detail.This includes thermally
induced failures, anchor system induced failures, water walls tube failures,
NMEJ damages, clinker formation, refractory damages, APH tube chock-up, erosion
and corrosion. The solutions to each of these problems will be presented. All
repair and refurbishment methods, preventive and predictive maintenance required
for CFB boilers will be covered in-depth.
Several studies have confirmed that CFB boilers are the best method for power
generation.This is due to their fuel flexibility, and lowest electricity cost
among all types of boilers. This technology is in great demand due to various
other advantages such as lower emissions as compared to other types of boilers
and has a carbon footprint well below the norms laid down by the World Bank
emission requirements.
This course is a MUST for anyone who is involved in the design, operation or
maintenance of circulating fluidized bed boilers, because it covers how these
boilers are designed and provides guidelines and rules that ensure the CFB
boilers have great performance. This course will also provide up-dated
information in respect to the design of supercritical once-through CFB boilers
and ultra supercritical CFB boilers.

Training Methods
Your specialist course leader relies on a highly interactive training method to
enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all participants gain a
complete understanding of all 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.
Each delegate will receive a copy of the following materials written by the
instructor:
* 'POWER GENERATION HANDBOOK' published by McGraw-Hill in 2012 (800 pages)
* Design of Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler manual (600 pages)
Trainer
Your specialist course leader has more than 32 years of practical engineering
experience with Ontario Power Generation (OPG), one of the largest electric
utility in North America. He was previously involved in research on power
generation equipment with Atomic Energy of Canada Limited at their Chalk River
and Whiteshell Nuclear Research Laboratories. While working at OPG, he acted as
a Training Manager, Engineering Supervisor, System Responsible Engineer and
Design Engineer. During the period of time, he worked as a Field Engineer and
Design Engineer, he was responsible for the operation, maintenance, diagnostics,
and testing of gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, motors, transformers,
inverters, valves, pumps, compressors, instrumentation and control systems.
Further, his responsibilities included designing, engineering, diagnosing
equipment problems and recommending solutions to repair deficiencies and improve
system performance, supervising engineers, setting up preventive maintenance
programs, writing Operating and Design Manuals, and commissioning new equipment.
Later, he worked as the manager of a section dedicated to providing training for
the staff at the power stations. The training provided by him covered in detail
the various equipment and systems used in power stations. In addition, he has
taught courses and seminars to more than four thousand working engineers and
professionals around the world, specifically Europe and North America. He has
been consistently ranked as 'Excellent' or 'Very Good' by the delegates who
attended his seminars and lectures. He written 5 books for working engineers
from which 3 have been published by McGraw-Hill, New York. Below is a list of
the books authored by him;
* Power Generation Handbook: Gas Turbines, Steam Power Plants, Co-generation,
and Combined Cycles, second edition, (800 pages), McGraw-Hill, New York,
October 2011.
* Electrical Equipment Handbook (600 pages), McGraw-Hill, New York, March 2003.
* Power Plant Equipment Operation and Maintenance Guide (800 pages),
McGraw-Hill, New York, January 2012.
