Our two-day Fundamentals of Combustion Training; 101 is our most popular class and the best class to start with. It goes over the fundamentals of combustion, safe burner start-up, and adjustment. The majority of the class consists of hands-on training in our training facility with several different burner and boiler packages. We also cover linkage adjustment and touch on parallel positioning. This training pairs very well with our Basic Controls and Troubleshooting Class; 102.
