Steam Training Provider

[sarahGT]

I am a Mechanical Engineer and am looking to find a good training course on steam systems. I'm working with a client that is upgrading their boiler plants and I will be doing some commissioning down the line with them. They have low pressure steam systems with very large boilers (up to 600bph).

I've become familiar with steam systems as I have worked with this client but would really like to take a formal training class to learn more about boiler and distribution system operation. Anybody have recommendations on good training providers. I'm in Atlanta but location does not matter.

Thanks!

Some suggestions if you are dealing with industrial systems:

First, purchase the book "STEAM" by B&W...its the best money I have ever spent for the quality of the book.

Second, review some of the information on the internet about boilers and steam distribution systems.

Try Spirax Sarco, there is a lot of good information and learning materials on their website but they also run courses.
They have locations in a few places in the USA including Houston.

Have a look here
