Steam system courses

Steam boiler manufacturer, Fulton, has introduced two one-day training courses offering theoretical and practical assignments that, Fulton says, bridge the gap between more expensive certified courses and straightforward 'toolbox' training.

Its Operator Routines & Maintenance course covers basic dayto- day operation and monitoring and provides employees with the knowledge required to monitor a boiler and ensure it is running efficiently and safely. It also includes training in operational procedures, daily blowdowns, and checking of water levels and alarms. The course also examines the importance of correctly treated feedwater and what boiler inspectors look for during routine insurance inspections.

The second course, Knowledge of Steam Systems, looks at the boiler system in depth, as well as auxiliary equipment including the steam and condensate loop. It is aimed at more experienced operators such as technicians and engineers.
