Course Introduction
This training course on Combustion Principles and Applications is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of combustion processes, systems, and technologies. Whether working with industrial burners, boilers, or gas turbines, combustion plays a critical role in achieving energy efficiency and operational safety. Through this course, participants will gain foundational knowledge of combustion principles, the types and behavior of fuels, and the operational requirements for efficient and clean burning.
In addition to theoretical concepts, the course includes practical applications such as burner classification, troubleshooting techniques, and emission control strategies. By exploring fire tube boilers, gas turbine combustion chambers, and modern emission mitigation methods, the course equips participants with the skills needed to enhance system performance, troubleshoot problems effectively, and comply with environmental standards. This training is ideal for engineers, technicians, and professionals involved in energy systems, process industries, and environmental compliance.
