KEH classes are dedicated to the improvement of boiler operations to reduce operating cost and equipment failure.
This is a generic course designed to give boiler operators a base upon which to build an understanding of the operation of a boiler plant, how to handle unusual conditions that arise, and how to prevent problems before they happen. Operators are shown how to monitor equipment and their own performance. - 40 hours classroom, up to twelve operators - $5,000 plus travel and living expenses for sites outside the Baltimore, Maryland, metropolitan area. Price includes a copy of Ken's new handbook for each operator.
KEH has just finished preparing a boiler operator's handbook which will be published by Fairmont Press. In writing it Ken made every effort to avoid the normal criticism of operator's handbooks. This one was written by a boiler operator for boiler operators, even though the author is also an engineer. The book addresses the operation of the plant, not its engineering. Expect it to be available in September of 2004.
KEH provides three programs accepted by the Maryland Department of the Environment as training to reduce NOx emissions in accordance with COMAR 26-11-09.08-H. The course addresses much more than a discussion combustion optimization required by the regulation. It includes an explanation of the source of emissions with the normal operating activities to reduce emissions that also save on fuel. Graphic presentation includes photographs taken at the operator's plant to facilitate learning.
Operating Boilers to reduce NOx emissions - up to 8 operators - $1,000* for first class, six hundred ($600) for duplicate classes for additional personnel. Each operator will receive a color certificate for attending the course.
Adjustment of boilers to reduce NOx emissions - $1,200* plus 150$** per operator. Price includes EPA-340 (described below).
Adjustment of Boiler Controls to reduce NOx emissions - $1,600* plus $300** per operator. Price includes EPA-340 (described below).
* Add expenses for travel outside the Baltimore, Maryland, metropolitan area.
** Fees per operator cover individual review with each operator while actually performing the work in his or her boiler room. Each operator must demonstrate an understanding of the process of combustion optimization and its application to receive a certificate for adjusting boilers or controls. When KEH deems an operator incapable of performing the task safely that operator will recieve a certificate for attending the course.
