A message from the Chairman
I am honored and excited to be the Chairman for the Heat Exchanger World Americas Conference & Expo 2023 . This conference is unique in the Heat Exchanger arena because the attendance is from all aspects of the field . Attendees , sponsors , sub-sponsors , and presenters represent the gamut from the raw material and fabrication equipment suppliers , EPC organizations , heat exchanger fabricators , end users and even further to those responsible for maintaining the equipment over its lifespan . all dependent on efficient heat transfer equipment . The Texas & Louisiana Gulf Coast has long been recognized as the Energy Capital of the world with Houston being at the center . This collection of petrochemical facilities , refineries and chemical plants , midstream & pipeline , offshore production , LNG and Ethane export terminals along with all the associated infrastructure supporting these facilities are Of particular importance today are the changes our various industries must undergo in the coming years to account for more stringent Greenhouse Gas ( GHG ) and Environmental , Social , and Governance ( ESG ) requirements . These are both legal mandates and societal perception requirements . Learning how to not only keep the existing heat transfer equipment operating efficiently but also how the design and implement new equipment and processes with increased efficiency is critical . On a personal basis , one of my primary reasons for coming to an event of this type is that I always discover or learn something new . At the 2023 conference people from across the spectrum of heat exchanger equipment can attend unique and relevant technical presentations , network with industry peers along with discovering new equipment and techniques to make their jobs easier . This conference offers something for everyone , no matter what industry they work in . I believe that every attendee will discover something new and applicable to their daily job from their participation . In keeping with my viewpoint of the discovery & learning aspect of this conference , I have a request . Do you have a topic that you would be willing to present at the Conference ? If so , then please submit a short abstract of your proposed presentation to our Steering Committee for review . Or , if you have an idea for a topic you would like to see discussed , then send the suggested topic with a few descriptive sentences . We can then look for an ] industry expert willing to present on your topic of interest . Based on my experience , giving a presentation is not only personally rewarding , but also a great way to encourage discussion , share non-proprietary information and help propel our industries forward . I am looking forward to meeting all of you .
