Furnace and Boiler Training for Operators
Fired equipment: combustion, main components and safe operation.
Why it matters on the unit
Fired equipment carries some of the highest risk in a plant. Lighting off, adjusting firing and responding to a flameout all depend on an operator who understands combustion.
A strong grasp of combustion and burner components helps operators run fired equipment efficiently and recognize unsafe conditions early.
