Valve Basics Seminar & Exhibits
2019-11-12 08:00 - 2019-11-14 17:00 (America/Chicago)
NOW OFFERING TWO 1.5-DAY COURSES!

Valves 101: Industrial Valves & Materials
Valves 201: Control Valves, Automation and Special Applications

HOUSTON AREA SAFETY COUNCIL
PASADENA, TX
More than 2,000 people have taken one of VMA’s highly rated Valve Basics courses since the program was introduced in 2009. During the past decade, our Valves, Actuators & Controls 101 has expanded dramatically. What began as a 1-day course became 2 days, and then recently has included three full days of education & training. Based on feedback from attendees, we are modifying the curriculum to create two separate courses, each lasting one-and-a-half days.
The first course, Industrial Valves & Materials, will cover the type of basic information that everyone in the industry should know—perfect for those who are very new to working with valves. The 101 course includes an overview of the industry, as well as lessons on multi-turn, check, plug, ball and butterfly, pressure relief valves and materials.
The more complex flow control products that employ electronics and automation will be covered in in the 201 course: Control Valves, Automation and Special Applications.
As in the past, each event includes a hands-on learning experience—the Valve Petting Zoo—that focuses on products covered in the classroom portion of the program .
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This course was created specifically for newcomers to the industry so it is ideally suited for recent graduates and engineers in the early stages of their careers. In addition, those who understand the basics of mechanical valves can expand their knowledge by attending the Electric portion of the program. Both courses can be taken, or attendees can choose to attend one or another.
Attendees typically include:

A variety of professionals employed at plants and facilities that use or work with valves, actuators and controls
More experienced professionals with knowledge of one specific product type but in need of an overview of the entire spectrum of valves, actuators and controls.
New employees at valve, actuator and control companies
Personnel from EPC or AEC firms who are involved with specifying valves
Distributors and manufacturers’ reps who sell these products
Companies that provide supplies and services to the industry
And anyone who could use a refresher course on valves, actuators and controls!

The Valve Basics course has been well-received by upper-level mechanical engineering students who have attended previous seminars. Their participation is made possible by scholarships from association members and others interested in supporting valve training for the next generation.
WHERE IS THE COURSE HELD?
To provide a large space in which to conduct our hands-on learning experience, this event is being held at the Houston Area Safety Council (5213 Center Street, Pasadena, TX 77505). The council has a state-of-the-art training facility and abundant workshop space where products for the “Valve Petting Zoo” can be displayed, from large to small, from mechanical to electric.
TABLETOP EXHIBITS
The Valve Basics event also includes a tabletop event. The schedule is still being worked out and we’ll post updated information as soon as it is available.
WHO SHOULD EXHIBIT?

U.S. or Canadian companies that sell or provide services to valve, actuator and control manufacturers and end users of those products or services.
Non-member manufacturers, suppliers and distributor/channel partners may register, but only if they are U.S. or Canadian based and would qualify for VMA or VRC membership.

If you are not sure whether your company qualifies, please contact Abby Brown before registering.

OFFSHORE PROGRAM

With a growing demand for renewables, there is much optimism in the offshore market with the emergence of the Offshore Wind Industry on the East Coast. Market predictions in the Gulf continue to forecast a more cautiously optimistic attitude with a possibility of more consolidation and mergers.
This year’s offshore program will provide insight into the opportunities of the growing Offshore Wind Market and the what lies ahead for Offshore Oil and the vessels that support both.

TUGS & COASTAL TOWING PROGRAM

With the EPA’s new emissions standards and operators looking for more efficiency, modernization of tug and Coastal towing fleets are evolving significantly. This year’s program is designed to deliver a comprehensive overview of vessel design and market trends. Delivered by top industry professionals, the program will examine challenges of achieving Tier IV compliance, the threat of cyber attacks and the vulnerability of the marine industry, escort tug safety, and hybrid vessel designs.

SHIPYARD PROGRAM

Shipyards are continually seeking innovative techniques to increase efficiency, safety and profitability. From design and construction trends to technological advancements and regulatory compliance, the importance of relevant, up-to-date information is crucial in today’s competitive environment.
Undoubtedly, the emergence of the Domestic Offshore Wind industry and the 70 Billion in Capex spending signals significant opportunity for US shipyards. There is an imminent need for new vessels to survey, build, crew, and service this new market. Come hear from industry insiders and learn about what is needed in the Offshore Wind Industry supply chain.

INLAND WATERWAYS & PASSENGER VESSEL PROGRAM

A strong economy and the booming ferry and inland overnight cruise markets have helped boost passenger vessel industry growth and stability. This sector is seeing new designs, green technologies including hybrid and electric, improved fleet management and other technologies.
In the inland waterways sector, increased freight opportunities from U.S. chemical manufacturers and the improving economy should bring additional opportunities for barge companies while continuing to reduce the oversupply of equipment. Infrastructure improvements are needed as commercial and recreational transportation crowd the rivers. This program will address the strategic concepts in maintaining what is working and reversing what is not along the inland waterways and discuss what’s on the horizon.
