Course detail
Operation and Water Treatment
FSI-LPV Acad. year: 2019/2020 Summer semester
One of the final courses of the study is concerned with the principles of the operation and defect of the thermal and nuclear power plants, theoretical and applied chemistry, i.e. chemical modification of water for the pressure parts of steam boilers. This course requires basic knowledge in the field of the design and construction of thermal cycle components.

Test: successful completion of a test score of electricity and chemistry basics
operation. Max. score 100, minimum number of test: 50
Aims
The course objective is to make students familiar with operation conditions of energy devices in classical energy units, starting and shut down, application of reliability theories and conception of reliability information systems and maintenance systems. The basics of the theory of energy chemistry, water treating and operation control of chemical regimes ion power engineering will be introduced to them.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at seminars is required. Compensation of missed seminars to be consulted with a teacher.
