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.
- Plant engineers
- Designers
- Consultants
- Contractors who design, manufacture and install steam systems.
- 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.
- The Law
- Key pieces of legislation, guidance notes, and best practices.
- Consequences of non-compliance.
- Pre-Design
- The design risk assessment, the URS, P&IDs, and HAZOPs.
- Mass Balance Survey
- Calculating steam load requirements.
- Factors that can reduce the output capacity of steam raising plant.
- The Steam and Condensate Systems
- The primary header, pipe geometry and trapping.
- Expansion of pipework.
- Isolations, pressure reduction, safety relief, and system control.
- Process trapping, stall conditions and pumped condensate recovery.
- Sizing and Calculations
- Sizing calculations: mass flow, working velocities, and pipe size.
- Designing a new packaged system.
- Reviewing new parameters and designing a system to suit; using all formula and guidance given throughout the duration of the course.
