Overview
The Steam System Design Course is designed to provide plant engineers, designers, consultants, contractors with the essential skills and knowledge to design efficient, safe, and reliable steam systems. This comprehensive course covers the critical aspects of steam and boiler plant design, emphasising safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
Who Should Attend?
- Plant engineers
- Designers
- Consultants
- Contractors who design, manufacture and install steam systems.
Course Objectives
- Understand the regulatory compliance requirements of designing a steam system and the steps to take.
- Calculate the steam demand and steam load to ensure the boiler is appropriately sized.
- Size and specify other boiler house equipment such as the Hotwell, water treatment equipment etc.
- Specify and size valves, steam pipes, condensate pipes, control valves, steam traps, pressure reducing valves and regulators, safety relief valves, drop out pockets, expansion and many other components within the system.
Course Content
The Law
- Key pieces of legislation, guidance notes, and best practices.
- Consequences of non-compliance.
Pre-Design
