ABOUT THIS VIRTUAL INSTRUCTOR LED TRAINING (VILT)
This 5 half-day course provides a detailed description of all performance
testing methods for all thermal power plant equipment including boilers,
turbines, condensers, pumps, fans, deaerators, and feedwater heaters. The
methodology, and code requirements for the performance tests for all thermal
power plant equipment will be explained in detail. The preparatory work and
instrumentation required for each test will also be covered during the course.
The efficiency calculations for all equipment used in circulating fluidized bed
(CFB) boiler and pulverized coal boiler power plants will be explained,
including all processes, operational and maintenance activities, capital
projects, technical options, potential initiatives and incentives to implement
upgrades / repairs for increasing the power plant equipment efficiency.
The course will also provide a thorough explanation of CFB and pulverized coal
boiler technology including hydrodynamics, combustion, emissions, design
considerations, gas-solid separators, design of CFB and pulverized coal boiler
components, management of solid residues, materials, stoichiometric
calculations, and model for sulfur capture. The operation, maintenance, testing,
and refurbishment options of all the equipment and systems used in CFB and
pulverized coal power plants will be presented, including boilers, superheaters,
reheaters, turbines, condensers, feedwater heaters, deaerators, pumps,
compressors, fans, electric generators, instrumentation and control systems, and
governing systems, etc.
The participants will get equipped on all factors which affect the CFB and
pulverized coal boiler power plant efficiency and emissions, all methods used to
calculate the heat rate of CFB and pulverized coal power plants as well as all
areas in CFB and pulverized coal boiler power plants where efficiency loss can
occur.
Updated information on the methods used to improve CFB boiler and pulverized
coal boiler power plant heat rate will also be provided. It includes:
1. Optimizing the combustion process and sootblowing
2. Controlling the steam temperature
3. Recovering moisture from boiler flue gas
4. Performing steam turbine maintenance
5. Lowering condenser back pressure
6. Pre-drying high moisture coal and reducing stack temperature

Training Methods
The VILT will be delivered online in 5 sessions comprising 4 hours per day, with
2 breaks of 10 minutes per day, including time for lectures, discussion, quizzes
and short classroom exercises. Additionally, some self-study will be requested.
Participants are invited but not obliged to bring a short presentation (10 mins
max) on a practical problem they encountered in their work. This will then be
explained and discussed during the VILT. A short test or quiz will be held at
the end the course. 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.
