SUMMARY:Increase The Reliability Of Your Critical Oil Pipeline – Discover An Innovative Retrofit Sealing Solution
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \n\nJohn Morton\, Product Line Director\nRaul Escontrias\, North America Pipeline Account Manager\nJim Wasser\, Director\, Design Engineering\nBrian Kalfrin\, Regional Engineering Manager\nKevin Parker\, Moderator\, CFE Media & Technology\n\nAttendees qualify for a Certificate of Completion \nCrude-oil pipeline pumps traditionally suffer from seal leakage due to the fretting or wearing of the dynamic O-ring\, rather than wear to the dynamic seal faces. Surveys and root-cause analyses performed on equipment demonstrate that solids and debris contained in the pumped product cause secondary seal damage\, and ultimately\, seal failure. \nMoreover\, pumping stations that serve transmission and gathering pipelines are often remote and unmanned. Use of a reliable secondary seal increases both pump and pipeline reliability. \nA more robust\, non-dynamic secondary seal has been developed to eliminate these kinds of damages and failures. It cannot hang up\, nor wear the shaft or secondary sleeve. In addition\, reduced sleeve fretting maintains seal integrity\, delivering improved spill prevention\, and is valuable to operators in terms both of assets protected as well as critical asset expansion. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify the common causes of mechanical seal (pump) failure in crude oil pipelines\nQuantify the immediate and longer term costs and implication of seal failure\nUnderstand the technical solution to overcome most common pipeline seal failures and extend MTBR\nDiscover the relative simplicity of seal retrofit and estimated payback period.\n\nRegister Here

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \n\nBrian Kalfrin\, P.E.\, Regional Engineering Manager at John Crane\nJack Bagain\, P.E.\, Mechanical Engineer at John Crane\nKevin Parker\, Moderator\, CFE Media & Technology\n\nAttendees qualify for a Certificate of Completion \nThe Challenge: Improving Seal Face Lubrication for Increased Reliability\n \nDuring industrial processing operations\, every mechanical seal application experiences its own unique set of challenges often including inadequate seal face lubrication\, high heat generation\, and dry-running conditions. These issues can cause leakage\, unplanned equipment downtime and sometimes even catastrophic equipment failure which can negatively impact operations and profitability. Mean time between repair (MTBR) of mechanical shaft seals can be frequent in these harsh conditions\, which means that your maintenance costs go up and equipment run time goes down\, not to mention the increased cost of catastrophic equipment failure and unplanned downtime. \nLearning Objectives: \nThis webcast will provide insights and real-world case studies that you can learn from and implement in your own plant\, mine\, or mill for improved results. \n\nAddress intermittent dry running conditions\nOvercome poor lubricating fluids\nProcess liquids above their atmospheric boiling point\nProcess abrasive slurries\nReduce energy consumption\nMinimize leakage and water waste\nImprove the reliability of rotating equipment to achieve productivity and environmental goals.\n\nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Improve efficiency in your existing HVAC system without investing in upgrades
DESCRIPTION:What You Will Learn  \nMany building owners and operators think of HVAC optimization projects as being too expensive to even consider. On the assumption that a project will involve replacing the biggest\, most expensive components they choose to continue operating inefficient systems\, and their operating outcomes suffer as a result. \nDuring the webinar Armstrong will present the answers to two questions.\n \n\nWhat if there’s no budget? What can I do to improve my HVAC efficiency without any investment in equipment upgrades?\n What if there’s only a small budget? What can I do to improve my HVAC efficiency without a big investment in upgrades?\n\nIn this session you will learn how you can optimize your current HVAC system\, without any equipment upgrades. We’ll present the steps you can take to maintain\, adjust or reset your system to squeeze the best possible performance out of the equipment you have. Drawing advice and data from industry studies we’ll show how building operators have saved up to 25% on one of their biggest operating expenses – keeping the building comfortable.

SUMMARY:Manufacturing Day
DESCRIPTION:What is MFG Day? \nAn annual event that allows manufacturers across the country to open their doors and open more minds to show what manufacturing really is in the 21st century. \nWhen does MFG Day happen? \nThe official kick-off of MFG Day each year happens on the first Friday in October. This year\, it will be October 4\, 2019. While many events will take place on that day\, as more states declare October as Manufacturing Month\, events are scheduled throughout the month. \nWhere do MFG Day events occur? \nMFG Day events occur at manufacturing facilities and educational institutions across North America. If you are interested in attending an event in your area\, we encourage you to check out the events page on mfgday.com to see what is taking place near you! Events can be searched by date as well as location. \nWhy is there a Manufacturing Day? \nModern manufacturing environments are commonly thought of as dark\, dangerous factories designed for low-skilled workers. MFG Day addresses this misperception by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and show\, in a coordinated effort\, what manufacturing really is today. Over the next decade\, manufacturers will need to fill 4.6 million jobs. These jobs offer long-term career opportunities\, high pay\, and exposure to cutting-edge technology and innovations. MFG Day is an opportunity to connect that future workforce to potential employers and change the narrative around manufacturing. Last year\, 275\,000 people participated in nearly 3\,000 MFG Day events across North America—and more than half said they are now more interested in pursuing a career in manufacturing or more likely to tell friends\, family\, parents or colleagues about manufacturing. \nWho should attend MFG Day events? \nMFG Day events are meant for anyone who is curious about modern manufacturing and who would like to know more about what happens in modern-day manufacturing facilities. Audiences include students\, parents\, educators\, media\, civic leaders and local communities in general.
