Process Steam Training Seminar from TLV Euro Engineering Achieves Level 3 BTEC Advanced Award
A steam training seminar from TLV Euro Engineering covering the efficient use of process steam has achieved a Level 3 BTEC Advanced Award, offering a nationally recognised qualification to those following the syllabus.
Commenting for TLV, general manager Michael Povey says: “The objective of the training seminar is to develop the knowledge of people employed in the steam industry whose job it is to increase steam efficiency, reduce maintenance costs and/or improve the design and performance of steam systems.”
The BTEC-approved syllabus explains the fundamentals of steam and condensate; system design, pipe sizing, valve sizing and best practice; steam trap testing, management and maintenance; improving efficiency and reducing losses; pressure reduction, temperature control and metering; and trapping and condensate return. This is followed by a multiple-choice examination, written paper and observation-based test to gain certification.
One of the first trainees on the new course, Clarke Energy’s Danny Taylor, explains that even before it became BTEC-approved, the course was highly recommended within the industry. “I had received excellent feedback from colleagues that had attended the original course and therefore asked my employer to book my place. TLV’s tutors, coursework and practical and written tests are well prepared, but the real highlight was to achieve the BTEC qualification.”
He goes onto say the course really expanded his knowledge of steam- and condensate-related services and equipment, including sizing steam mains, pressure reducing valves and the appropriate use of steam traps in different applications.
The three-day seminars are held at TLV’s purpose-designed, state-of-the-art training facility at its European headquarters in Germany, where the flow dynamics of steam and condensate systems can be viewed and participants receive hands-on training from TLV instructors with many years experience, expertise and knowledge of steam systems. Participants also have the opportunity to discuss specific applications, raise issues and seek advice from TLV staff.
Summing up, Danny Taylor says that TLV left no stone unturned and, like his colleagues before him, can highly recommend the course to anyone looking to increase their knowledge of steam and condensate systems.
The cost of the three-day seminar includes BTEC administration fees, flights, transfers to/from Frankfurt airport, accommodation and all meals and refreshments.

About TLV Euro Engineering:
TLV Euro Engineering was founded 60 years ago and is a recognised global leader in steam engineering. The company offers a wide range of steam engineering products supported by services including consulting, site inspections and seminar training.
TLV has always strived to manufacture innovative, high-quality, long-lasting products and systems and one of its early successes – the A3 steam trap – was awarded no less than seven patents. This steam heating, condensate cooling, double jacketed thermodynamic steam trap is unaffected by ambient conditions and offers an incredible 10 times the durability of previous products.
TLV designs and manufactures a range of products and systems such as the award-winning CV-COS, an electro-pneumatic pressure reducing valve with a convenient control function; and the Vacuumizer, a vacuum pressure steam heating and cooling system. TLV has also revolutionised fluid control technology with the launch of its patented ‘Free Float’ steam traps which, with only one moving part, guarantee long life and reliability.
