D6A
Introducing BOAS
The Boiler Operative Accreditation Scheme (BOAS) provides national accreditation for industrial boiler operators and boiler
plant managers. Spirax Sarco is a licensed and approved BOAS training provider. The D6A course provides training to the
BOAS syllabus and includes the written examination1. Candidates are also interviewed by a Gastec assessor during the
course 2.
Successful candidates may use the designatory letters “Cert IBO” (Certified Industrial Boiler Operative) or Dip BOM
(Diploma in Boiler Operational Management). Candidates from both award categories take the same course and written
papers. Interviews are specific to each award.
Who will benefit?
This course is suitable for:
• Boiler operatives with hands-on experience
• Boiler plant managers and supervisors (no hands-on
experience required)
Those new to the boiler house wishing to have
introductory boiler training should consider the D6
course on page 5.
Delegates will learn about:
• Heat and heat transfer
• Boilers and auxiliaries
• Feedwater
• Draught and combustion
• Controls and instrumentation
A syllabus is available on request.
Objectives
• To train and prepare candidates for the BOAS
qualification
• To promote safety and energy efficiency in the
boiler house with due regard to environmental
aspects and legal requirements
1 The course includes the written examination papers.
All candidates sit these irrespective of boiler type or award.
2 Candidates from sites having shell boilers are interviewed
during the course. Those having water tube boilers are
interviewed at site.
3 The cost is for the training course. Additional Gastec
fees are payable for registration and post-course
assessment.

finishes at 4:30pm on the second day.
Cost£350 + VAT
Who will benefit?
Site technicians, boiler operators, supervisors, energy managers,
plant engineers and maintenance engineers responsible for
the day to day running of steam boilers and utility plant.
Delegates will learn about:
• Raw water types
• Fundamentals of steam
• Boiler water pre-treatment systems, softeners,
de-alkalisation, reverse osmosis and demineralisation
• Boiler deaeration, hotwell design
• Water treatment chemicals
• Practical chemical dosing
• Water treatment control strategies
• Boiler water treatment guidelines BS 2486:1997,
EN 12953.PT10
• Dealing with scale, corrosion and fouling
• Improving boiler efficiency using water treatment
control
• Boiler water treatment testing, paper and electronic
record keeping and practical control
• Understanding boiler water treatments
• Working with water treatment companies
Objectives
To provide delegates with a practical guide to water
treatment operations, chemical dosing and boiler water
treatment strategies. Delegates will learn the importance
of water treatment guidelines (BS & EN regulations) and
be able to develop schemes to prevent scale, corrosion
and fouling.
E1
Who will benefit?
Energy managers, plant engineers, utilities engineers,
accountants, graduate engineers and others needing
to manage costs, improve efficiency or reduce
steam demand.
Delegates will learn about:
• Establishing the cost of steam
• Saving energy in the boiler house
• Optimising their steam system
• Estimating the energy requirements of plant
• Identifying and quantifying savings
• Relating fuel savings to carbon and CO2
• Calculating a payback period
• Sources of further help and information
Objectives
To identify opportunities
for energy savings in steam
systems and to provide the
tools to help quantify and
evaluate savings. To link
energy savings to emissions
and to explore ways of financing schemes and reducing
the tax burden. The course majors on providing and
justifying solutions rather than products and practices.
Examples and case studies will be used throughout.
