ASME BPVC, API and NBIC Boiler Operation, Maintenance, Inspection, Repairs, and Alterations Combo Course (Virtual Classroom)

As an engineering professional focused on supporting the continuous operation of in-service boilers, fired pressure equipment and pressure vessel systems, your success is predicated on a comprehensive understanding of the key aspects of these critical processes. This comprehensive learning path covers design & failures, materials, fabrication, examination, and testing—as well as thorough understanding of the BPVC requirements. Safe and proper application of all of these codes and insight into industry best practices from this learning path will help BPV engineers to not only comply with regulations but succeed in achieving the operational, regulatory, cost, and safety goals of their organization. This official ASME learning path is designed to provide attendees with the key considerations, skills, and competencies to excel as an engineering professional responsible for operation and maintenance of all types of boilers and fired pressure vessels. 

This official ASME learning path consists of two courses:

Course 1: ASME/API Boilers and Fired Pressure Equipment Operation and Maintenance 

Boiler and Fired Pressure Equipment operation is complicated, especially for modern equipment that may be fully automatic. Safety, efficiency, and constant generation of steam, hot water, or other products, such as oil and gas or LPG fluids depend on the smooth operation of such equipment. Moreover, some jurisdictions have regulations on the boiler operation and boiler operator personnel, as well as fired pressure equipment oversight. Maintenance on this equipment can increase efficiency, maximize cost savings, ensure safety, and prevent unscheduled shutdowns. A maintenance program should be established based on the type of boiler or fired pressure equipment, history, and the age of the systems being operated and maintained.

• This course commences at 9:30 AM and ends at 6 PM Eastern each day, with scheduled breaks throughout. 

Course 2: Boilers and Fired Pressure Equipment Inspection, Repairs, and Alterations Industry Best Practices

For in-service boiler or fired pressure equipment, ongoing inspection, repairs, and alterations are critical for safe and reliable continued operation. Authorized inspection is not only required by most jurisdictions, but it determines operational integrity and reliability of boiler and pressure equipment. The purpose of inspection is to determine operational integrity, ensure reliability, and improve performance of boiler plants and fired pressure vessels. Such equipment is required to be inspected at a regular interval by an inspector who is qualified by a jurisdiction or by the plant owner. The inspection is performed in accordance with the jurisdictional requirements, inspection standards or national codes and ensures that boilers are maintained and optimized for peak performance in conjunction with the original code of construction.

• This course commences at 9:30 AM and ends at 6 PM Eastern each day, with scheduled breaks throughout. 

Who should attend?

Engineering professionals and employees of related governing entities, including engineers, designers, manufacturers, QA/QC personnel, technicians, inspectors, and maintenance personnel who desire a comprehensive understanding of the rules, applications, and best practices of the BPVC Code.

This ASME Virtual Classroom course is held live with an instructor on our online learning platform. Certificate of completion will be issued to registrants who successfully attend and complete the course.
