Water intake systems for desalination and power plants pose some challenging engineering problems for designers and plant managers. In the Middle East, jellyfish, fish, and other types of debris can cause serious maintenance issues that may lead to a plant shutdown. Hydraulic performance issues such as vortexing and air entrainment degrade pump performance and life. At the same time, managing brine and/or thermal plume discharge properly will ensure minimized re-entrainment and potential environmental concerns.
This workshop brings together experts on water intake and discharge systems from around the world, helping you to understand how to evaluate the various options for your new or existing plant and how to ensure proper performance and minimized maintenance. Also addressed will be environmental guidelines, such as those outlined in the recent report by the U.K. Environment Agency1. These can be an important factor in managing public and stakeholder relations.

Training Workshop: Air Pollution Control Systems for Power Generation - January 8th & 9th
Electrical utilities around the world are feeling the pressure to improve local air quality by reducing emissions from power generation plants. For oil-fired plants, this means controlling particulates, NOx, SOx, and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) whereas for gas-fired units, the focus will be on NOx and CO.
The choices involved in selecting the best combination of control technology for any given site can seem daunting. This workshop brings together global experts from technology vendors, environmental consulting companies, and engineering firms to help you understand how to evaluate the various options for your plant and how to ensure proper performance.
