Boiler and Cooling Water Treatment Training Material

This is a guideline for documenting an effective Boiler Water Treatment Program and/or Cooling Water Treatment Program.  PLease download the below templates and make your adjustments, as needed.

The purpose of this training material is to provide and document a basic guideline training program to engineers and technicians to administer a safe, effective, and cost-efficient Boiler Water Treatment Program  and/or Cooling Water Treatment Program.

The training is conducted on a step-by-step basis, where each phase builds upon the previous phase.  There are 4 phases with 6 sections to each phase.  One section is discussed at each training session.  Often times, a session will require specific action to be taken by the Engineer.  Engineers will be tested at the end of the training for each phase, and if they have successfully achieved the required results from each phase, they will be awarded a certificate for that phase.

The goal is that the engineers and technicians will learn a systematic method for successfully running a Boiler Water Treatment Program and/ or Cooling Water Treatment Program.  Main areas of focus:

1)       Cost Control:

• Energy
• Water
• Chemicals
  

2)       Improved Results Including:

• Maximizing heat transfer
• Minimizing water consumption
• Preventing scale, corrosion and microbio fouling

3)       Commonality and Consistence of Knowledge Among Engineers:

• Requirements are set
• Conformance to requirements is expected
• Engineers talk the same language
