Recent incidents at Terra Nitrogen in Billingham and the Buncefield Oil Depot have highlighted the continued need for the prevention and containment of accidents and emergencies within our process industries.

The Applied Control Technology Consortium (ACTC) has arranged a meeting on the topic of "Managing Alarms and Abnormal Situations in the Process Industries" which is being held on the 13th July in Stallingborough, near Grimsby .

This meeting will demonstrate what is being done by both process industry vendors and end-users to minimise any abnormal situations.

Plant systems, such as process control and monitoring systems, alarm and operator advisory systems and emergency shut-down systems, all need to function correctly and work together to make any response to a crisis situation as effective as possible.

Full details, including the agenda, can be found on the ACTC website.

ACTC members can attend free of charge and any IET/IEE Control PN Member, or IChemE Process Control Subject Group Member, is entitled to a 20% discount, after providing their membership number on the registration form.
