TRAINING POWER PLANT PERFORMANCE

TRAINING PLANT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

TRAINING BOILER EFFICIENCY CALCULATIONS

COURSE DESCRIPTION

During this training, the trainer together with the management team, plans the operation and maintenance routines. This training also emphasises economic aspects of plant operation and maintenance. Key figures for reporting plant performance are also considered.
