Panel Discussions
After much success with Panel discussions at our record-attended Valve World Americas Conference earlier this year , we have included two panels for Heat Exchanger World Americas which will allow attendees , to gain insight on topics from a wide range of panelists , including end users , EPC ’ s , policy board members , and manufacturers . Day One ’ s Panel discussion will be focused on Design and Specification – including TEMA , API 660 & 661 , PIP , ASME , ISO , PCC-1 , End User Specs , and more ! Panelists will provide an overview and discuss experiences working with different heat exchanger design standards & specifications . Audience members will be provided with the opportunity to ask questions and participate in this panel discussion that will cover the good , the bad & the ugly of these various standards .
Day Two ’ s Panel covers Managing Aging Plants , Equipment Upgrades , and Best Practices . Many of the industrial plants currently operating in the United States are about to reach , or have already surpassed , the life expectancies specified when they were originally designed and built . However , far from becoming obsolete and being discarded or dismantled , they continue to remain very productive because they are still important to the profitability and success of our western economies . To ensure that this status quo is maintained well into the future , plant managers must be able to guarantee that they can be kept economically sustainable and safe , as well as profitable . This panel will discuss challenges being faced by operators working with heat transfer equipment and best practices for getting the most out of the lifespan of your equipment .
