Overview
Credit: 6 PDH
Length: 72 pages
Fuel consumers face a double challenge. One is economic – to get the best heating value for every fuel dollar. The other is environmental – to keep emissions low, at least within legislated limits. Fortunately, what benefits the first objective also benefits the second.
A boiler installation costing $75,000 can easily consume over $400,000 in fuel every year. Consequently, even with very economical fuel costs, a difference of just a few percentage points in boiler efficiency can translate into substantial savings. Understanding boiler operating costs is the key to maximizing investments year in and year out.
This 6 - hour course attempts to provide simple facts and energy efficiency opportunities in the areas of combustion management, makeup & feed water management, condensate return, blow-down system, waste heat recovery and steam distribution and utilization.
This course is designed for chemical engineers; chemical and process engineers; system design engineers working in power, oil and gas, chemical, and metal and mining; energy auditors; and operational and maintenance personnel.
