In-House Seminars - APC Network

In-House seminars can be a cost effective means of providing training tailored to your facility and schedule. Here you'll find the information that will help you to decide whether an in-house seminar is right for you.

Operation & Maintenance Seminar
This two-day seminar is intended for both supervisors and hands-on personnel. Mr. T. Keeler instructs the course which covers how to make the overall ESP perform, details of internal inspection, gas distribution, analysis of electrical readings and process effects.

The instructor arrives the day prior to the seminar to review your equipment and gather pertinent information. This allows him to structure the agenda of the seminar to train your employees to better understand your specific application, and to identify problem areas of the precipitator for optimum performance results.

Fundamentals	Brief history as to why problems exist, concepts of precipitation, and what to look for to attain success.
Resistivity Factors	What resistivity really means and how to evaluate it; How to use resistivity for successful precipitation.
Process Factors	What areas of a process produces the greatest effect on the precipitator; How minor changes in the process can often provide success, and suggested parameters for optimum operation.
Electrical Concepts	What the voltage and current values really mean and circuit parameters; Concepts of spark-over and how to evaluate it.
Gas Distribution Factors	How to evaluate flow patterns and how to correct poor gas flow distribution.
Opacity Concepts	How the opacity chart can be an important evaluation tool and how to use the instantaneous opacity trace to optimize performance.
Operation & Maintenance	What is required to minimize component failures, how to inspect the precipitator, and how much internal damage can be allowed.
Field Evaluation	How to use the control panel meters to ascertain resistivity levels and internal problems; How to use observation doors and other evaluation methods.
