Coal-Fired Boiler Operation - Training Guide
============================================================

MINIMUM RESOLUTION: 980 x 600 px
RECOMMENDED: 1920 x 1080 (16:9) or larger

SIMULATOR OVERVIEW
----------------------------------------
Coal-fired boiler simulator covering pulverizer operation, air-fuel ratio control, soot blowing, and emissions monitoring per ASME PTC 4 and EPA regulations.

Standards: ASME PTC 4 · EPA 40 CFR 60 · NFPA 8502

INTERFACE LAYOUT
----------------------------------------
- LEFT PANEL: System controls (Start/Stop/ESD/Reset, Mode toggle)
- CENTER: P&ID schematic with real-time process visualization
- RIGHT PANEL: System gauges, operational checklist, alarm list

OPERATING PROCEDURES
----------------------------------------
  Step 1: Pre-light-off purge complete
  Step 2: Ignite oil burners
  Step 3: Establish stable flame
  Step 4: Start pulverizer — coal feed
  Step 5: Reduce oil — transfer to coal
  Step 6: Ramp to full load
  Step 7: Verify emissions compliance
  Step 8: Initiate soot blowing

SCENARIOS
----------------------------------------

  Cold Start to Full Load:
  Light-off with oil, transition to coal, and raise steam to full load.

  Soot Blowing Sequence:
  Execute soot blowing procedure to maintain heat transfer efficiency.

  MFT (Master Fuel Trip):
  Respond to boiler trip — purge, investigate cause, and restart.

ALARM RESPONSE
----------------------------------------
  MFT [ALARM]: Master Fuel Trip activated
  FLAME_FAIL [ALARM]: Flame scanner — no flame detected
  DRUM_LEVEL_LOW [ALARM]: Drum level critically low
  FURNACE_PRESS_HIGH [WARNING]: Furnace pressure excursion
  CO_HIGH [WARNING]: CO in flue gas >200 ppm
