Learn how modern technology can improve OEE
Can you afford to miss the event that assembles 300 process industry engineers and managers, their contractors and suppliers, to learn, share best practice and network with colleagues in the industry?
The conference format will feature the approach, successful over the past six years, of multi-stream parallel presentations, enabling each delegate to choose subjects to build a unique conference relevant to his interests.
In addition attendees have hands-on access to an exhibition of products, equipment and software provided by approximately 30 suppliers, to see some of the techniques described, in action.
Key topics of the presentations this year include: Plant Operation and Maintenance, Advanced Control, Increasing Throughput, Availability and Quality, Safety Instrumented Systems: IEC 61508/61511, Executing Projects, Process Automation, Safety, Health and Environment, Energy Efficiency, Integration with Business Systems, Benchmarking and Best Practice, Regulatory Compliance, New Technologies and Methodologies.
The main sponsors of the event are Emerson Process Management, Aker Kvaerner and IEE, the Institution of Electrical Engineers, with support this year from process industry manufacturers in the form of Huntsman International and BASF.
The sponsors also appreciate the input received from quasi-government and professional bodies such as Action Energy and ISA, the UK section of the Instrumentation, Systems and Automation Society.
The conference programme is being developed at present, with papers already accepted from INEOS Chlor, on Generic Process Control: Brunner Mond, on Introducing Fieldbus: Huntsman Petrochemicals, on Using On-line Spectral Analysis: and BP Amoco Chemicals on What Diagnostics Users Would Like to See Developed Next.
Further papers will discuss the users view of IEC61508, the integration of reliability-based maintenance, and the security risks of cyber attacks on control systems, plus many more.
Full presentation schedules are available on the website.
As usual the conference dinner and reception on Wednesday 16 June will be an evening to remember: both for the discussions and networking amongst presenters and delegates, and also for the after dinner speeches.
This year's guest speaker is Sir Henry Cooper OBE KSG, the former European and British and Commonwealth heavyweight boxing champion.
