This 2-day course introduces the basic practices of controls systems and safety controls for industrial steam generating boilers.
It focuses on the control and safety requirements applicable to most types of boilers from small gas-fired units to large multi-fuel installations. The workshop will provide training in how control and instrumentation is designed to manage the main variables such as drum water level, furnace draft, combustion fuel and air conditions.
Burner management systems are introduced with their principal features including flame safety systems. The essential safety requirements for boilers and
burners are identified and the corresponding safety interlocks are explained as practical solutions in accordance with the latest safety standards.
The training includes a study of the basic principles of burner management systems and includes the measures used to support furnace safety through the enforcement of start up procedures and purge sequences. The requirements for burner management systems to be engineered as safety instrumented systems to IEC 61511 are examined and the implications for equipment design are discussed.
The training modules in the workshop are supported by a series of practical study exercises with answers provided to assist the understanding of key issues.
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO:
Understand the objectives of the principal boiler control functions
- Recognise and understand typical boiler control diagrams and
their design intentions.
- Contribute to the setting up and tuning of boiler control loops.
- Identify principles and design concepts governing:
- Boiler feed water control
- Furnace draft measurement and control
- Steam demand and firing rate control
- Main steam and reheat steam temperature control
- Flue gas analysis and fuel combustion trimming
controls
- Importance of boiler safety control and start-up
interlocks
- Explore advanced control strategies for improved boiler plant
efficiency
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
- Senior boiler plant operators, repairers and installers
- Control system engineers
- Instrumentation engineers and technicians
- Boiler plant commissioning engineers
- Operation, maintenance, inspection and repair specialists
- Mechanical engineers and technicians
- Design engineers
- Consulting engineers
OVERVIEW:
The first two modules of the workshop provide
training on two subjects that are essential for
anyone involved in using or applying controls to
boilers. These are a basic knowledge of boiler
and combustion processes and a basic knowledge
of those control and instrumentation practices
relevant to most boiler plant applications. The
control training includes a review of the SAMA
and ISA symbol standards used for depicting
control system details.
The training then proceeds in a series of modules
to describe the basic requirements and typical
control solutions for the main control and safety
functions in boilers. Theses functions are
structured into individual modules allocated to
feedwater supply and drum level, furnace air and
the control of draft pressure, combustion
controls, steam pressure and temperature
controls. The combustion control module
addresses the issues of dynamic response of the
fuel and air feeds with examples of how ratio
control, feedfoward signals and cross limiting
methods are applied to ensure good load
following.
The training includes a study of the basic
principles of burner management systems and
includes the measures used to support furnace
safety through the enforcement of start up
procedures and purge sequences. The
requirements for burner management systems to
be engineered as safety instrumented systems to
IEC 61511 are examined and the implications for
equipment design are discussed.
The training modules in the workshop are
supported by a series of practical study exercises
with answers provided to assist the understanding
of key issues.
