Steam is in heavy demand in industries requiring heating processes, and steam generation is typically an energy-intensive process. The optimization of steam distribution systems can focus on many different areas, and the boiler plant is just a step in the process. Every part of the steam system, including steam distribution and the end-use process should perform at the highest efficiency to keep operating costs to a minimum. The savings potential is enormous: not only from a fiscal standpoint but also from an environmental standpoint.
This course will review the basics of steam systems and provides a comprehensive technical overview of energy efficiency measures in steam generation, distribution, and use. References for more detailed technical information are provided.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain why steam is an efficient heating medium.
- Identify the key components of industrial steam generation, distribution, and use systems.
- Describe the principles of perfect combustion, excess air, and the air-fuel ratio.
- Identify typical energy losses in boiler and steam systems within a facility.
- Explain low-cost, practical strategies for improving boiler and steam-system energy efficiency.
- Describe measures for reducing stack losses.
- Identify measures for reducing blowdown losses.
- Explain measures for improving the distribution side of a steam system.
- Describe measures for improving steam end-use efficiency.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 34 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
