Power Principles - Power Plant Practices - Boilers - Normal Operation and Boiler Efficiency

A good operator with years of experience makes the job of normal boiler operation look easy. With a careful glance around the control room, this operator knows that the systems and equipment, so important to the efficient production of steam, are operating properly and according to plant procedures. In the event that a component malfunctions or something goes wrong. The operator sizes up the problem and quickly takes the appropriate steps to get the system back to normal.

The key is a thorough knowledge of the systems and components that make up the boiler an understanding of how they operate and the procedures for safe and efficient operation
