Testimonials

"The material covered was exactly what they were hoping for and more. I think the part that was best for everyone was the review of interlocks, BMS sequencing and the non-gas start to test interlocks. I especially liked this training because it not only went into great detail about the gas trains and combustion systems but also touched on many other components of the boiler and systems in the boiler room."

“USG was very happy with the training. I met with our VPs of Manufacturing recently and discussed the event. A couple people mentioned that they had heard from various plants about how great the session went. I’ve heard the same from my team and various plant individuals I’ve run into recently.”
