Introduction

This workshop 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.

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
