Energy system’s reliability improvement and cost optimization are very essential needs to all industries towards sustaining their profitability and to succeed in the competitive environment.
This training course is developed with specific focus on steam systems reliability and efficiency improvement, which will benefit engineers who operate & maintain industrial steam systems.
Course objective
To train Plant Engineers and Engineering Service providers in carrying out steam system cost optimization assessments. To help industry achieve energy cost reduction through:
- Proper operation and controls System maintenance
- Appropriate process uses of steam Cogeneration and,
- Application of state-of-the-art technologies
Course outcome
Participants are exposed to the cost optimization opportunities that are successfully implemented in steam systems elsewhere and some of the software tools that are extensively utilized by steam system engineers and Engineering service providers.
