Welcome to Fuel and Combustion Systems Safety - Understanding Boilers and Their Special Risks.
 
The potential for catastrophes is much greater for boilers than for any other category of combustion equipment, because there is a twofold risk, fuels and saturated water/steam. Heating water in boilers or hot water heaters, is by far the single biggest application of heat energy and fuel trains on the planet. In the United States alone, a 2005 study indicated that there are over 163,000 commercial and industrial boilers. There are millions of residential boilers and hot water heaters as well. In this course we describe different boiler types and also provide insights into some of the hazards associated with steam systems, including safety relief valves and steam piping. Throughout the course Subject Matter Expert John R. Puskar will provide real-life stories and the lessons learned from them.
