The most comprehensive course on boiler design ever offered.
Topics covered include:
- Boiler Circulation Theory
- Stoichiometrics of Combustion
- Boiler Dynamics
- Heat Transfer in Boilers
- Boiler Design Principles
- Control Concepts
- HRSGs Critical Issues
The Critical Issues:
- Competiveness requires the accurate prediction of Boiler Plant Problems.
- But Boilerrs produce the main source of refined energy and consume the majority of the primary fuel, and maintenance resources.
- Now we have the necessary fundamental knowledge required to confidently monitor, analytically model and control the optimum operation of boiler plant.
This course will train participants in the use of this advanced knowledge
Course Aims
The course is specifically designed for the engineer in charge of a boiler plant, to give them the necessary fundamental knowledge to:
- Identify problems associated with steam generating equipment
- Model boiler performance
- Recognize ways to rectify problems encountered
- To contruct, modify and operate boilers more efficiently.

Comprehensive Workbook & Software
Your comprehensive workbook will provide you with a wealth of practical information, procedures, formulae and worked examples which will become an invaluable reference source.
You will also receive a free copy of TUNEUP which is a software package developed specifically for this course. TUNEUP is a very powerful combustion program capable of predicting the condition of specific boiler plant components. It will provide a valuable tool for monitoring the future performance of boiler plant.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Plant Supervisors, Utility Engineers & Managers, Plant Managers & Supervisors, Boiler Equipment Sales Personnel, Facilities Engineers, Boiler Operators, Energy Managers, Consultants, Maintenance Supervisors, Boiler Water Treatment Specialists, Boiler Control Engineers, Any Engineer engaged in the Boiler Industry, Co-Generation Project Developer & Engineers.
RANGE OF INDUSTRIES:
Power Stations, Oil Refineries, Timber Industry, Hospitals, Dairy Industry, Mineral Processing, Paper Manufacturers, Marine FPSO Offshore, Steel Mills, Marine Engineering, Meat Processors, Chemical Processing.
Course Background
The course has been presented in the United States, United Kingdom, Asia, New Zealand and Australia.
It has been especially designed to balance the theoretical concepts with the real world applications of boiler design technology. Difficult theoretical aspects are presented with a practical down to earth approach making the course ideally suited to engineering and supervisory personnel involved in the day to day operation and management of boiler plant.
You will enjoy a unique opportunity to discuss your boiler specific problems with the course instructor (who is a leading expert in his own right) and also exchange experiences with other delegates who may have encountered and possibly solved similar problems that you currently experiencing.

Delegate's Comments...
“The course provides a good overview of all aspects of boiler design.”
Hugh Jenkinson- Melbourne
“A very comprehensive introductory course on all aspects of boiler design and control.”
Lee Cheong- Jakarta
“The course is well balanced between theory and practical. No subject was dwelt on to excessive detail.”
Joe Krusec- Melbourne
“I liked the technical aspect (theory and assumptions) that are behind boiler design. This will help me evaluate changes from design, identify problems, etc.”
John Calhoon- Chicago September
“Taking all the theoretical information and combining it so that I could understand the design philosophy of the overall boiler. The work book is an excellent reference”
Dan Koszykowski- Chicago September
“A lot of material covered. Fundamentals were presented very well. The course provides a good basis for future learning.”
Silander Khan- Atlantic City August
“An excellent combination of the theoretical and actual aspects of boiler design.”
Israel C Telis- Sydney
“Good blend of concepts and real life conditions”
John MacDonald- Jakarta
“Very comprehensive and detailed.”
Mark Cladecott- Melbourne
“An excellent presentation of theoretical boiler design fundamentals.”

About Your Instructor
Mr David Parsons
Boiler Design Consultant
Orginally having trained and worked in Australia as a Boiler Design Engineer for Babcock & Wilcox, John Thompson and International Compbustion (a C.E. associate company), David successfully operated independently in his own consulting company for over 20 years.
Having recently integrated into the Harris Pye Group of world companies David’s consulting practice has expanded and continues to provide independent computer analysis of boiler circulation, heat transfer performance and general boiler design, with an established reputation and ability to solve illusive and complex problems associated with modern boiler plant.
In his capacity as design engineer David Parsons has been involved in the design of numerous boiler plants and has personally designed a reference boiler for a 250 MW sub-critical power station. He has been engaged across a broad spectrum of industrial applications including marine, offshore, FPSO, refineries, petrochemical and power stations. He has written numerous computer programs and designed Heat Recovery Systems for both marine and land based industrial and power installations.
David Parsons has lectured extensively throughout Australia, Asia, the USA and New Zealand and brings to the course a wealth of first-hand knowledge and experience.
