“The leading cause of injury relating to boilers is poor maintenance or operator error.”

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Failure to properly maintain boilers can lead to crippling service interruptions, thousands of dollars of preventable repairs bills, and shortened equipment life. With today’s high fuel costs, maintaining your boiler at peak operating efficiency can provide considerable savings. Faulty boilers are a safety hazard to personnel and can cause serious damage to surrounding structures.

The workshop is intended for all municipal employees whose responsibilities involve the operation and/or maintenance of boilers, ranging from cast-iron hot water boilers normally used in building heating systems, fire tube steam boilers from 50 to 500 horsepower, to water tube boilers from 20,000 to 70,000 lbs/hr.

Workshop topics include:

Boilers—what are they and how they work.
Boiler failures—what can go wrong and why.
Boiler codes—understanding their importance to proper operation and maintenance.
Fundamentals of boiler operation from startup, to routine operation, to shutdown, with emphasis on testing of controls and safety devices.
Fundamentals of boiler maintenance, with an emphasis on maintaining code integrity, low water fuel cutouts, and safety/relief valves.
Boiler inspections—what to look for and how to prepare.

Included in the handout materials are checklists for proper maintenance of fuel supply devices and boiler operating logs.
