Spirax Sarco delivers 1,000th BOAS combustion pass 07 November 2013

A landmark 1,000th delegate has passed the Combustion Engineering Association's Boiler Operation Accreditation Scheme (BOAS) training course, undertaken at Spirax Sarco's Cheltenham UK Steam Technology Centre.

The successful delegate was Robert Watkins (pictured right), engineering team leader at 2 Sisters Food Group, based in South Wales.

"Training at Spirax Sarco helps us stay up-to-date with technology advancements and new legislation," says Watkins.

"Not only do Spirax Sarco's experts and facilities deliver highly professional training, but it was very useful to meet other trainees to learn about their experiences and best practices," he continues.

"For us, the BOAS course ticks all the right boxes – for insurers and the HSE. By looking after your boiler in the form of good maintenance and effective water treatment, you'll receive both a safety and financial gain."

BOAS accreditation is recommended in the 2011 BG01 boiler guidance document as the industry best practice for all boiler operators and managers, published by the CEA, SAFed and HSE. The BOAS certificate is valid for five years, after which a refresher course is recommended.

Spirax Sarco has a state-of-the-art UK steam technology centre, which is the only training facility in the UK to offer a fully-operational steam system with SCADA control.

This system allows it to provide a very high standard of theory, practical and design steam engineering courses, as well as supporting live technology demonstrations.
