Information covered can be applied to coal, oil, gas, and waste-fired boilers industrial or utility.

DoubleTree Hotel Chattanooga407 Chestnut Street Chattanooga, TN 37402

Focus on your...Understanding of Multiple Boiler Designs

Technical Knowledge of Boiler Stresses and LocationsBoiler Pre-outage and Outage Inspection Plans

DescriptionSession I of the Boiler Inspection Seminar series is designed to benefit personnel recently assigned to the task of maintaining the boiler and its auxiliaries. Emphasis is on common points for all boiler inspections.

Who will benefit most from participating? Maintenance personnel Maintenance planning personnel Engineering personnel Operations personnel

The lessons focus on the following systems and equipment: Large coal, oil or gas-fired boilers Modern industrial boilers with gas tight furnaces and superheater assemblies Circulating Fluidized Bed Boilers Heat Recovery Steam Generators

This course begins with boiler design variations, based on application and fuel. Topics then focus on steel selection, water treatment and steam quality. The central theme in this session is pressure part failure mechanisms, causes and prevention.

Course ObjectivesAt the successful completion of the training, the student will be able to: List the most common stresses that limit boiler component life Differentiate the causes for multiple points of stress that can rapidly diminish pressure part reliability

(fuel, water quality, material selection, operator error, past maintenance practices) Identify critical inspection points both common to different boiler designs and unique to a variety of

fossil fuels Prioritize planning activities to maximize plant equipment reliability

ContentFundamentals of boilers are addressed from multiple perspectives: Steam generator design principles Fossil fuel combustion concerns as well as ash and slag issues Causes of boiler tubing deterioration External fossil fuel corrosion of boiler pressure part tubing Internal boiler water corrosion of pressure part tubing Heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) technology versus standard fossil fuel boilers Boiler and power plant environmental concerns Operator and maintenance demands

Alstoms TTT-M Materials Testing Center will be utilized during the session to provide a better understanding of the processes involved in the analysis of high pressure, high temperature pressure parts.
