The Registration for This Event is CLOSED

Training Overview

This workshop covers the operation of typical steam systems and discusses methods of system efficiency improvement. The training is designed for plant personnel, such as energy managers, steam system supervisors, engineers, and equipment operators, who have steam system responsibilities in industrial and institutional plants. The course covers three key areas of potential system improvement:
• Steam Generation Efficiency
• Resource Utililization Effectiveness
• Steam Distribution System Losses
The course introduces Steam System Scoping Tool (SSST) and the Steam System Assessment Tool (SSAT), the steam opportunity assessment tools developed by DOE’s BestPractices Steam and used the US DOE Steam Systsem Survey Guide as a technical reference. The training also introduces the 3E Plus insulation appraisal software and a course example is presented that used this software.
