4 1 I N T R O D U C T I O N An international reputation for world-class training solutions Our training courses offer a unique opportunity to learn with the leading experts in steam technology. We provide the highest level of training, service and technical back-up and our courses are fully approved by the following professional bodies: Pearson BTEC City & Guilds Combustion Engineering Association (CEA) Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) Whatever your role in relation to steam systems, our aim is to help you achieve maximum productivity, efficiency and safety from your plant. Experience is everything Our training staff have an unrivalled reputation within the steam industry and our expertise is second to none. We fully appreciate the practical aspects of all roles related to steam system management. In addition, courses are regularly updated to keep in line with the latest regulations, technical developments and customer feedback. That means, delegates leave us with the knowledge and skills they need to maximise the efficiency of steam systems. Their new-found energy expertise will be channelled back into your business increasing your steam system safety and optimising its performance. State-of-the-art learning facilities Training courses take place at our state-of-the-art UK Steam Technology Centre in Cheltenham. It includes a fully working steam demonstration rig with SCADA controlled demonstrations of products and steam system capabilities, complete with a boiler house. Each course leads to a certificate issued by us or the relevant professional body. Please be sure to discuss the suitability of a course with us if you are unsure what level you should start your training. Steam and Condensate Loop Book The most comprehensive practical guide to steam systems in recent times is The Steam and Condensate Loop book. This book explains the principles underpinning steam engineering and heat transfer. It covers all aspects of steam and condensate systems, from the boiler house, through the steam distribution system to the point of use, and recovering and returning condensate back to the boiler.
