Better understand HRSG problems and how to avoid them!

This course focuses on the key points that HRSG operations and maintenance personnel need to understand to minimize forced outages and avoid unnecessary repairs. Each presentation is full of photos and illustrations showng actual problems. We share our lessons-learned from hundreds of HRSG inspections and problem investigations.  We’ll also do our best to make it an adventure!  Our past groups have done off road desert Jeep rides, river rafting, trap shooting and ocean coast boat cruises.  No golf outings or conference hall dinner gatherings for our group…too boring!!

Learn more about information presented at the HRSG Academy by reading the article "Learn the Basics of HRSG Inspection" in the Combined Cycle Journal 3Q2008 issue.

Please consider joining us for one of our upcoming Acadmies:

Middle East - Abu Dhabi, UAE -- May 2009

North America - Newport, RI, USA -- June 2009

Will the Academy be worth your while? Of course it will, but don’t take our word for it! Here are some comments from recent attendees:

• John Bales, Turlock Irrigation District, “I have been in the power plant industry for 20+ years and have been to dozens of classes/seminars and this class was by far the most informative and professional so far.”
• James Stine, North American Energy Services, “I found it all very informative. Just got into the area of Power Gen using large 3 pressure HRSGs, so all of it is great info to take back to the plant. I’m already thinking of changes to make to our SOPs to increase HRSG longevity.”
• Wes Thomasson, Mechanical Engineer (500MW AEC Vann Power Plant), “The HRSG Academy is definitely worthwhile. I benefited from the knowledgeable instructors as well as the interaction with other HRSG owners. I have an abundance of advice, tips, and techniques to take home.”
• Tony Shook, Supt. of Operations (500 MW Combined Cycle Plant), “Great topics, the information has great tips for operators and maintenance people. I learned new key points that will help me next outage. I hope to send more staff to future courses.”
• Ryan Hoog, Plant Engineer CPS Energy, “We wanted a course that would make our HRSG inspections more effective and the Academy gave us exactly what we were looking for and more. Understanding the fundamentals of HRSG design made us better, more confident decision makers both during outages and in our daily operations.”
• Paul Lofton, (1800 MW Facility) Tampa Electric Company, “In my estimation, the HRSG Academy is the premier Heat Recovery Steam Generator Training program in existence today. If you're interested in learning about inspections, maintenance, operations and performance aspects of HRSG's, this training should be your number one choice.”

Whether your plant is old, new or not yet finished, the Academy will give operations, maintenance and engineering personnel the best and latest information. It’s never too late or too early to extend one’s HRSG knowledge! We’ve analyzed and crawled through hundreds of HRSGs and this course will share “lessons learned.”
