SYNOPSISThe topic of the course covers on the “Front End” till the “Delivery End” of the power generation operation. “Front End” means fuel intake, while, the “Delivery End” refers to the products, which are steam and electricity. The subject discussed during the course will be on the fuel types used in boiler which covers liquid, gas and more on biomass as it has been the hot topic of the day. Participants will be briefed on the following:-• fuel calorific values comparisons. • the design and requirement of biomass fuel logistic and basic system. • types of boilers “water tube” and “fire tube” and its functions in the industry. • Steam type and quality as the product and in the plant application. • Boiler combustion and excess air are Some of the topics covered in Steam Plant Operation includes:• water treatment plant, type of treatment and application. • The sustainable management practice covers the good management practice in a highly and dynamic plant. • the safety management aspect basic management of the plant. • steam turbine related systems and it operation and maintenance issues.
