Below is a comprehensive listing of the classes we offer, at our training location in the metropolitan DC area or at your site. |
Advanced Plant Operations
2.1 Continuing Education Units |
| Course Overview:
This 3-day Advanced Plant Operator Training class will cover basic, intermediate and advanced power plant training. Although topics are similar to those covered in the basic course, this class goes into depth on each subject. Equations will be given for calculations, with a description of step by step procedures to follow when solving boiler problems. Understanding the calculations used in the actual design and construction of boilers will give the operator a better understanding of the principles of boiler operation. Students will learn how to conquer present boiler problems and how to prevent new ones from arising. Students will gain a thorough understanding of operational and maintenance practices. Case studies and typical boiler operation problems are discussed along with applications for improvement.
Course includes textbook, handouts, and a certificate of completion. Previous experience or background in this subject is required. |

Hands-on Boiler Operations and Safety
2.1 Continuing Education Units |
| Course Overview:
This 3-day class follows content as listed in our Basic Boiler Operations program but focuses on the "how and why" to safely operate a boiler. Fundamentals are covered including types of boilers, and design and components, such as valves, tubes, fans, dampers, compressors, pumps, regulators, as well as temperature, pressure and water level controls.
Besides the fundamentals, students learn about boiler water pathways, the principles of combustion and thermodynamics and their relationship to optimal boiler performance. Boiler procedures, safety, and water chemistry are also discussed. The class then shifts gears to boiler operations.
Class topics are burner management systems, and how to properly maintain boiler water chemistry to avoid scaling, pitting, and other potential problems. Start ups and shut down sequences are discussed in detail, and students learn proper operational techniques including daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly optimal boiler maintenance practices. Combustion testing, inspection procedures, and appropriate boiler record keeping are also covered. Students learn many valuable boiler operational techniques including the best ways to achieve the highest possible efficiency rate while achieving low Nox emissions, how to reduce fuel costs, and how to properly maintain and extend the life of the boiler.
This class features hands-on experience with boiler equipment and auxiliary systems so students can apply theory learned in the classroom on the job.
Course includes text book, handouts, manual and continuing education unit (CEU's). |
Industrial HVAC & Chillers
2.1 Continuing Education Units |
| Course Overview:
Students in this 3-day class will learn the fundamentals of air conditioning and refrigeration and expand into chillers. This reality-based class is applicable to the operation, controls, troubleshooting and maintenance of all brands of today's commercial chiller systems. Learn how to get the most out of your operational dollars and avoid costly breakdowns or equipment upsets. Students will also discuss case studies, solve typical chiller operation and maintenance problems, and discover methods to reduce costs.
