9:00 AM Expo opens 10:00 AM Keynote 3 Vice Chairman ’ s Welcome - Bill Ashenhart , Engineering Consultant 10:30 AM Keynote 4 ESG Data Sheets - Naomi Jabbari , S & B Engineers & Constructors

11:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Design , Fabrication & Testing Session Chair : Bill Ashenhart , Engineering Consultant

Thermal design requires an experienced professional , adequate software tools , and thorough understanding of process conditions . It is critical that during the design phase , materials selection takes into account how the equipment is going to be fabricated , as some materials add more layers of complexity to fabrication . Testing & Inspection are part of design codes and are often supplemented by end-user requirements . They pose technological and administrative hardships on the industry and are responsible for a significant part of the cost of a new equipment . This workshop will discuss some typical challenges encountered by designers and fabricators , and welcome discussions related to advances in NDE techniques , new standards , and common challenges in implementing testing & inspection procedures .
