Design & Testing of Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler (CFB) Power Plants

Training Course

12 hours online/ 2 days face to face

The target audience for the Design & Testing of Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler (CFB) Power Plants seminar includes:

Power Plant Engineers: Engineers involved in the design and operation of power plants utilizing CFB technology.
Boiler Design Engineers: Engineers specializing in the design and optimization of CFB boilers.
Project Managers: Managers overseeing the development and construction of CFB power plant projects.
Thermal Engineers: Engineers focusing on heat transfer and thermal performance in CFB boilers and power plants.
Testing and Commissioning Engineers: Professionals responsible for the testing, commissioning, and performance validation of CFB power plants.
Maintenance Engineers: Engineers involved in the maintenance and troubleshooting of CFB boiler systems.
Energy Consultants: Advisors providing expertise on the design, implementation, and performance of CFB technology.
Regulatory and Compliance Specialists: Individuals ensuring that CFB power plant designs meet regulatory and environmental standards.
Academic and Research Professionals: Scholars and researchers studying advanced CFB technology and its applications in power generation.
This seminar is designed for professionals and stakeholders involved in the design, testing, and optimization of CFB power plants, providing insights into best practices and emerging technologies in this field.

This two-day training course is primarily intended for experienced O&M staff working in thermal power and process plants but could also be of interest to corporate engineering and management staff seeking to understand CFB technology. The course starts with an in-depth survey of all the important design features and basic operational aspects of CFB boilers. It then covers how to evaluate new boiler and whole plant performance by testing and how to monitor and maintain plant efficiency during subsequent operations
