ABOUT THIS ONLINE COURSE
The productivity and efficiency of a process plant depend as much on the plant equipment as it does on the steam and condensate system.
As a result, it is essential that the design of your steam system be optimized, safely operated, properly maintained, and when required, repaired in an effective and timely manner.
This course is designed to provide you with a complete understanding of design, sizing, operation, maintenance and optimization of steam and condensate systems.
This understanding is a pre-requisite for a successful, efficient and safe operation of your plant and piping systems.
The course provides a comprehensive engineering best practice guide covering all aspects of steam and condensate systems, from steam distribution up to the point of use, through the condensate recovery system.
The course includes detailed technical descriptions, basic step-by-step instructions, extensive graphics, sizing tables, engineering data and numerous solved problems to emphasize the key learning points.
