Who should attend?

  • This course deals with cogeneration units in existing plants or new projects.
Public :
  • Graduate engineers and technicians whose activities are related to the design and/or operation of these installations: engineers and technicians from engineering companies, technical and HSE support, operation team, personnel from insurance companies.

Level :Skilled

Prerequisite :
  • To have a 1 month of proven professional experience in the refining or petrochemical industry.

Course Content

  • COGENERATION: DIFFERENT CYCLES - GAS TURBINES & WASTE HEAT RECOVERY - Duration : 1.25 Days

      • Operating principle and operating conditions of cogeneration and combined cycles - Typical schemes.
      • Main parts of the different cycles:
      • Boiler, steam turbine (back-pressure or condensation).
      • Gas turbine, waste heat recovery boiler.
      • Energy balance and energy performances of each elementary operation: compression, combustion and expansion.
      • Efficiency enhancement, heat recovery from exhaust gases (air preheater, waste heat recovery boiler).
      • Different operating modes (simple waste heat recovery, post-combustion, separate boiler) and performances.
      • Application: comparison of performance, mechanical and thermal energy split.

  • COGENERATION: PRODUCTION OF STEAM - Duration : 1 Day

      • Boiler Feed Water (BFW) quality, description of the physical and chemical required treatments.
      • Description of conventional boilers and waste heat boilers: water circuit, steam circuit, fuel circuits.
      • Operating conditions - Fuel consumption per ton of steam, depending on boiler type and operating conditions.
      • Main process control loops: boiler feed water, pressure and steam temperature, combustion, flue gas circulation draft.
      • Combustion monitoring, analyzers, aim and meaning of each measured parameter. Safety equipment and sequences.

  • COGENERATION: STEAM END-USES - Duration : 0.75 Day

      • Steam as a heating medium and mechanical driving fluid.
      • Steam pressure level requirements, depending on the end-use. Steam network balancing.
      • Steam as a heating medium: conditions for its distribution and efficient utilization.
      • Steam turbines: operating principle, expansion work and efficiency, and produced energy.
      • Static expansion: expanded steam characteristics, steam de-superheating.

Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
  • Describe the conditions for combined thermal and mechanical power generation,
  • List the criteria for evaluating and monitoring the performance of the various elements constituting a cogeneration.

Ways & Means

  • Several practical applications related to actual industrial cases.

Learning assessment

  • Quiz at the end of the training session.
