This document advertises a two-day workshop on optimizing steam systems to be held on October 6-7, 2015. The workshop will provide techniques for efficiently operating and maintaining steam boilers and distribution systems to reduce energy loss and ensure safe operation. Attendees will learn how to test and maintain steam traps, identify heat loss areas, and solve common steam system problems. The workshop is aimed at plant managers, engineers, boiler technicians and other professionals working with industrial steam systems. The agenda covers topics like steam engineering principles, boiler house operation, steam distribution piping, steam traps, and safety procedures. The workshop will be led by an experienced speaker with over 38 years in engineering management consulting steam systems.

Steam System Optimization
6 - 7 October 2015
OVERVIEW
Many steam boiler system users experience system safety
problems, premature equipment failure, and poor steam
system efficiency. Specific problems can include frequent
boiler shutdowns from low-water level, damaged steam
pipes and valves due to water hammer, vibration, corrosion,
erosion, reduced capacity of steam heaters, and overloaded
steam traps. Steam Systems are not only one of the biggest
consumers of energy in most plants or facilities, but they can
also be hazardous to work on or around if proper care is not
taken.
This 2 day workshop will provide you with critical knowledge
of how to keep your steam systems working efficiently and
how to effectively optimize, maintain and fix problems within
a steam plant. By attending this workshop you will benefit by
learning how to take corrective measures to reduce energy
loss and help you operate your steam system plant more
efficiently and safely.
BENEFITS
 Operating of steam boilers more efficiently and
safely
 Reducing energy loss in steam system/boiler plants
 Understanding the importance of testing and
maintenance of steam traps
 Identify and solve heat loss in steam systems
 Gaining an in-depth knowledge on causes &
prevention of steam system failure
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
 Steam Generation Foremen
 Plant Managers/Foremen/Engineers
 Boiler Makers/Technicians/Supervisors/fitters
 Artisans
 Production Managers
 Maintenance Managers
