The VILT course will cover the following:

• Detailed aspects of chemistry in a water steam cycle, including types of chemicals used in boilers depending on the treatment and type of boiler
• Potential issues in a water-steam cycle such as corrosion and deposition
• Monitoring & analytical programmes and knowledge of specifications for the water steam cycle (normal values targets – alarm levels)
• Chemistry aspects during transition periods: start-up, shutdown and preservation
• Actions to be taken in the event of an alarm
• Examples of incidents or deviations compared to normal chemistry

The VILT course is intended for:

• Power plant chemists
• Plant operation or maintenance engineers
• Consultants and technical project managers
• Boiler engineers

The VILT course will be delivered online in 2 half-day sessions comprising 4 hours per day, with 2 x 10 minutes break per day, including time for lectures, discussion, quizzes and short classroom exercises.

Course Duration: 2 half-day sessions, 4 hours per session (8 hours in total).

Your expert course leader is a chemistry consultant in the energy sector. He works with operators of power plants and industrial facilities. He is active in water-steam cycle chemistry, where he provides support to increase chemistry maturity through audits, trainings or development of key performance indicators.

His role also includes operational assistance in the field of chemical cleaning and troubleshooting. More recently, he expanded his field of competence towards electrical storage. In this regard, he specializes in electrochemistry and is in charge of different tests on batteries and their components within the ENGIE Batteries Lab.
