BIOMASS PLANTS COURSE

Throughout the course, it is discussed the basic operation principles of an electric generation biomass plant, to address later in detail each of the elements that are part of a normal plant.
The aim of course is that the assistant knows each one of the equipment, master the terminology associated with these plants and learns the main aspects that make the work of a professional power generation.
