Fundamentals of Combustion Module 2
About this training
The UK waste industry now relies on its many thermal waste treatment plants, both private and public, to deal with non-recyclable and residual waste streams, including refuse derived fuels (RDF) and to generate useful heat and/or power effectively and efficiently from these feedstocks.

Fundamentals of Combustion is a 2-part course that provides the learner with the necessary underpinning knowledge for operating these technologies more confidently and optimising thermal efficiency. The learning is also helpful to maintaining environmental compliance throughout operational periods and to improving reliability and availability.

Module 2 builds on the learning from module 1 providing learners with the underpinning knowledge and scientific understanding to be able to achieve improved overall plant performance in terms of efficiency and environmental compliance.

IMPORTANT – PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BOOKING
a) All candidates taking this e-learning course, MUST have an individual email address.
