ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
This 5 full-day course provides detailed description of all combustion equipment
and systems used in pulverized coal boilers and circulating fluidized bed (CFB)
boilers including pulverized coal burning systems, coal feeder, pulverizer and
classifier, pulverized coal burners, furnace and fans. This course provides also
a comprehensive explanation of all boiler combustion control systems including
pulverizer control system, combustion control, control of coal and air flow into
the boiler, furnace pressure control, oxygen trim control, nitrogen oxides (NOx)
and sulfur oxides (SOx) control, control of ammonia injection, flue gas dew
point control, purge control, flame monitoring and tripping system as well as
their tuning methods. All boiler control systems are covered as well in this
course including drum level feedwater control, main steam and reheat steam
temperature control, boiler limits and runback, sliding or variable pressure
control, heat rate optimization with sliding pressure control, boiler-turbine
coordinated control, etc.
The course provides also detailed explanation of Boiler NFPA 85 Code (Boiler and
Combustion Systems Hazards Codes) and American National Standard
Institute/Instrument Society of America Code (ANSI/ISA-77-44-01-2007 Code). The
burner management systems (BMS) and examples of boiler permissive starting logic
and protective tripping logic will be explained thoroughly. The various methods
used to calculate the boiler efficiency are covered in detail in this course
including the direct and indirect methods. All the factors which affect the
efficiency and emissions of pulverized coal boiler and CFB boiler will be
explained thoroughly.
The course covers also all the methods used to improve the efficiency of

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:
* Excerpt of the relevant chapters from the '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)
* COMBUSTION ENGINEERING FOR COAL FIRED POWER PLANTS MANUAL (includes practical
information about combustion engineering for coal fired power plants - 550
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
