Day/Time |
| Boiler Water Operation, and Water
Treatment
Presented by: James O. Robinson,
GE Betz, Trevose, PA
Covered in this workshop is the water quality required
for steam boilers, the various treatments that are being used, and
new developments for protection from scale,and corrosion. The boiler
as well as the pre-boiler and condensate systems are reviewed, discussed,
and illustrated as to potential problems but also the most effective
water treatments being used today. Water treatment controls needed
is provided for all types of treatment along with trouble shooting
guidelines. Operators, Utility plant supervisors, and manager can
benefit greatly by the practical and useful information obtained
a this workshop.

| FGD Systems and Operating Guidelines
Presented by: Dr.
Enos L. Stover, PhD, PE, DEE, The Stover Group,
Stillwater, OK
This workshop provides a though review of FGD system
operation and the problems commonly encountered. It reviews the
methods and techniques that are available to control typical problems
and the programs used for their minimization or control. This workshop
provides practical and useful guidelines to identify the potential
problems but also the chemical and mechanical methods that are in
use today for their control. This information is of great help to
operators and managers of FGD systems. |
Wed. 10/24
1 - 5 PM |
| Design and Operation of Reverse Osmosis
Systems
Presented by: Jantje
Johnson, Genesys North America, Eden Prairie, MN
This workshop provides information on pretreatment,
design and operation of reverse osmosis systems.
Guidelines are given on pretreatment, reverse osmosis membrane selection,
RO design and operation. Detailed discussions are provided on the
operation + evaluation of reverse osmosis systems. Detailed information
will be provided on cleaning of reverse osmosis systems.
Examples of various systems will be shown and discussed.
This workshop is a great opportunity to ask questions and solve
problems.
This workshop is designed for reverse osmosis system
operators and owners.

Wed. 10/24
1 - 5 PM |
| Wastewater Treatment Processes
Presented by: Kar Munirathinam, Ph.D.,
N. A. Water Systems, Moon Township, PA
This workshop provides a review of the various
waste water processes in use today, how they operate, what treatment
and what controls are needed for successful waste water effluent
quality. Discussions of various case histories identifies limitations,
typical problems, new technologies and which process should be used
for various waste water qualities.The physical, chemical, and biological
processes and equipment are reviewed along with the expected effluent
quality with good and poor operation. This workshop provides practical
operational information on many types of waste waters and thus is
ideal for those new as well as experienced with waste water processing. |
Wed. 10/24
1 - 5 PM |
| Cooling and Chilled Water Treatments
Presented by: Arthur
Freedman, Arthur Freedman &
Associates, Inc., East Stroudburg, PA and Paul
Puckorius, Puckorius & Associates, Inc., Arvada,
CO
This workshop provides a detailed review of corrosion,
scale, fouling, and microbiological problems and methods for their
minimization in cooling tower systems as well as chilled ( closed)
water systems. The newest water treatment programs are reviewed,
along with their limitations and water qualities required for successful
use. Detailed discussions and guidelines are provided for monitoring,
testing, and controls for each of the potential problems. Identification
of the potential problems associated with white rust, enhanced copper
tubes, mild steel tubes, MIC corrosion, film fill fouling and more
provide valuable guidelines for all attendees. This is a great workshop
for all levels of persons involved in cooling and chilled water
system operation and protection.

8 - Noon |
| Membrane Systems Troubleshooting
(Now includes the workshop topic "Membrane Systems and Bio-Fouling")
Presented by: Luis Carvalho,
P.Eng., GE Water & Process Technologies, Mississauga,
ON, Canada
Covered in this workshop is how to identify potential
and existing problems in the operation of all types of membrane
systems. This involves water flow, pressures, leakage, and maintenance.
Examples of various systems are show and typical problems identified
along with the techniques used to resolve those problems. Guidelines
are given relative to what to look for, what testing is needed,
and common action plans to minimize problems. A must for all membrane
system operators and owners.

| Reuse Water and Water Conservation
Presented by: Arthur
Freedman, Arthur Freedman &
Associates, Inc., East Stroudburg, PA and Paul
Puckorius, Puckorius & Associates, Inc., Arvada,
CO
Covered in this workshop is the identification
of the reuse and reclaimed water quality needed to be successfully
used in cooling tower, boiler water, and process water systems.
Various reused waters are identified that can be utilized with no,
little, and extensive treatments prior to being added to the water
using system. Water conservation techniques and procedures are identified
along with the potential for zero liquid discharge from cooling
water systems. Water reuse and conservation of fresh water supplies
is expanding rapidly and this workshop provides the information
and guidelines for successfully planning and utilization of "used
" waters. A must for all persons interested in saving water. |

10/25
8 - Noon |
| Water Preparation Processes
Presented by: Cynthia Carmen, Graver
Water Systems, Cranford, NJ
This workshop reviews the various processes used
to treat raw water for use as boiler feed, cooling makeup, process,
and potable water. Detailed discussions of clarification, cold and
hot lime, and filtration provides not only effective operating guidelines
but also optimum controls and trouble shooting aspects of each process.
This is a must for operators, utility supervisors, and water treatment
engineers working with these systems. |

| Ion-Exchange Technology and Practical Operating
Practices
Presented by: Wayne Bernahl,
W. Bernahl Enterprises, Ltd., Elmhurst, IL
This workshop provides detailed review of the various
ion exchange processes for softening and demineralizing water as
preparation for boilers, cooling,and process applications. How to
evaluate existing systems, their resin, operation, and water quality
of ion exchange units is an excellent troubleshooting and informative
portion of this work shop. A review of the different ion exchange
resins available along with the newest developments and how the
can be used to provide specific water quality is a must for water
treatment operations. A great opportunity to as questions and solve
problems.
