Burner solutions provider EOGB Energy Products Ltd has reported another successful summer of burner training in Italy.

EOGB’s commercial burner training course, which is held at the Baltur research and development facility in Bologna, covers burners with outputs from 50kW to 2,000kW, as well as commissioning, gas valve set up, modulating controls, burner matching and fault finding. This year the course was run in July and September in response to high demand.

The training at Baltur allows engineers to get first-hand practical experience on large commercial burners, giving them essential experience and advanced technical knowledge.

Managing director of Evans Maintenance, Tim Evans, whose engineers attended the course, said: “We are always looking to further our knowledge in the latest burner technologies and by training with EOGB at Baltur in Italy we benefitted from seeing the latest products and getting a hands-on approach to the training. We also benefit from a real world environment to commission and set up the burners under varied conditions and scenarios.”

EOGB technical director Martin Cooke said: “Well done to all the engineers who attended the commercial burner courses this year, we were really impressed by the amount of enthusiasm and hard work. I encourage anyone who would like to attend next year to add their name to our list now as the courses are always over-subscribed and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.”

The next Italy training trip will be in July 2017. For more details, call 01480 477066 or email training@eogb.co.uk.

EOGB also runs a number of courses at its purpose-built facility in St Neots in Cambridgeshire, including OFTEC Oil Training, Domestic ACS Gas and Hot Water Safety Systems.
