Open Enrollment Training


K. C. Cotton's Steam Turbine Performance Improvement Seminar
For Fossil and Nuclear Power Engineers
Presented by James Moore, P.E.

Formerly presented and originated by Ken C. Cotton, and based on his book " Evaluating and Improving Steam Turbine Performance" , this recently updated seminar is a four and a half-day study of the topics listed in the accompanying outline. This seminar is now presented by James Moore, former Steam Turbine Principal Engineer for General Electric. The experience and knowledge Mr. Moore brings to this seminar is unsurpassed by other seminars on the subject of steam turbine performance. This frequently sold out seminar has been presented by Encotech for over 13 years. Encotech’s Steam Turbine Seminar offers an " open floor " atmosphere allowing attendees to bring forth questions to problems they may be currently experiencing, and in most cases, walking away with the answers they have been looking for.

This intensive four and a half-day training seminar will enable you to:

 

  • Determine the effect of power plant operation on turbine efficiency, heat rate, and power output

  • Learn diagnostic techniques to pinpoint location and types of damage

  • Develop testing programs to determine location and extent of deterioration

  • Interpret diagnostic test data using case histories as examples

  • Develop a better appreciation for optimum turbine design evaluation of proposed efficiency improvements

  • Utilize steam path audit techniques to reduce repair and replacement costs

Who Should Attend
Plant Engineers, Performance Engineers, Turbine Engineers, Turbine Systems Engineers, Operations and Maintenance Superintendents and Managers, and Plant Managers
