Steam System Efficiency End-User Training
28 February, 2006 | 08:00 AM-04:00 PM
KeySpan Energy Delivery, Waltham MA
The Registration for This Event is CLOSED
Training Overview
This workshop covered the operation of typical steam systems and discussed methods of system efficiency improvement. The training was 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 covered three key areas of potential system improvement:

• Steam Generation Efficiency
• Resource Utililization Effectiveness
• Steam Distribution System Losses

The course introduced 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 introduced the 3E Plus insulation appraisal software and a course example was presented that uses this software.
