About this course
Boilers and Steam Systems gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of boiler types and components and combustion and efficiency, then builds the skills to apply water treatment, steam distribution and traps and safety and inspection in real work. Mechanical engineering courses on rotating and static equipment, codes, welding and inspection for plant engineers and technicians.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
Who should attend
Mechanical engineers, maintenance supervisors, technicians, inspectors and reliability staff. No specialist prerequisites are required for the Practitioner level; Foundation, Advanced and Executive versions are available on request.
