In many industrial organizations and educational institutions, boilers are used for heating and/or industrial processes. A number of boiler operators and maintenance personnel do not have the training or expertise to properly operate and/or repair a boiler safely and efficiently, especially in small companies and institutions. Many accidents have been attributed to this lack of training. A trainer of this type would allow the small institution to provide the necessary training for operation and maintenance of the boiler. Since the trainer is built and utilized "in house", the cost of training is minimal to the company/institution.
