Course detail

Operation and Water Treatment

FSI-LPVAcad. year: 2020/2021

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.
