This specialization provides a detailed understanding of boiler environmental, electrical, and control systems in modern thermal power plants. It begins with the fundamentals of NOx generation and reduction technologies, including primary combustion control measures, Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR), and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, along with associated ammonia handling. Learners also explore Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) systems, including wet limestone-based FGD, major components, and limestone and gypsum handling systems.
