Spirax Sarco (www.spiraxsarco.com/us) recently marked the grand opening
of its fifth Steam Technology Training Center in the U.S.A., in Lisle, Ill. Training centers are part of the company’s commitment to support education in all areas of steam energy, believing that knowledge and understanding are the keys to energy conservation and resource utilization.

In addition to classroom space, the company equips each training center with live steam labs, including see-through components such as steam traps and pressure-powered condensate pumps operating under various conditions. The centers demonstrate system-induced stall, steam trap testing procedures, heat exchangers, boiler controls, temperature control systems, pressure reducing stations, instrumentation and controls, metering solutions and compressed air systems.

Scheduled training courses focus on the operational needs connected with energy management, HVAC, operations, piping and process design, project engineering, process engineering and maintenance. Each program is designed specifically for steam users involved in plant design, operation and maintenance. The Centers also hold customized training to meet steam users’ specific needs.
