The primary focus of this course is on boiler operation. Interactive Boiler Control System (BCS), Burner Management System (BMS) and gauge glass simulators allow students to practice their skills in a realistic, virtual environment. Featuring the unique, highly acclaimed video "The Inside Information" (courtesy Spirax Sarco) that for the first time shows what happens inside a boiler under a variety of operating conditions.

The course includes a module covering the fundamental principles of operation of modern PLC based control systems. Students will learn how the Boiler Management System interacts with the operational controls & safety devices, & how to respond to boiler trips.
