Boiler Water Treatment and Chemical Dosing for Plant Operators

Scale, corrosion and carryover from poor water treatment quietly destroy boilers and steam systems on African industrial sites, driving up fuel costs and shortening equipment life. This programme gives operators and maintenance staff a practical grounding in boiler water treatment. Delegates learn why water is treated, how to run dosing and blowdown correctly and how to interpret water tests to keep boilers efficient and reliable.
