SUMMARY:Valve Basics Seminar & Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:NOW OFFERING TWO 1.5-DAY COURSES! \n\nValves 101: Industrial Valves & Materials\nValves 201: Control Valves\, Automation and Special Applications\n\nHOUSTON AREA SAFETY COUNCIL \nPASADENA\, TX \nMore 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. \nThe 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. \nThe more complex flow control products that employ electronics and automation will be covered in in the 201 course: Control Valves\, Automation and Special Applications.  \nAs 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 . \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND? \nThis 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. \nAttendees typically include: \n\nA variety of professionals employed at plants and facilities that use or work with valves\, actuators and controls\nMore experienced professionals with knowledge of one specific product type but in need of an overview of the entire spectrum of valves\, actuators and controls.\nNew employees at valve\, actuator and control companies\nPersonnel from EPC or AEC firms who are involved with specifying valves\nDistributors and manufacturers’ reps who sell these products\nCompanies that provide supplies and services to the industry\nAnd anyone who could use a refresher course on valves\, actuators and controls!\n\nThe 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. \nWHERE IS THE COURSE HELD? \nTo 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. \nTABLETOP EXHIBITS \nThe 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. \nWHO SHOULD EXHIBIT? \n\nU.S. or Canadian companies that sell or provide services to valve\, actuator and control manufacturers and end users of those products or services.\nNon-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.\n\nIf you are not sure whether your company qualifies\, please contact Abby Brown before registering.

SUMMARY:International WorkBoat Show
DESCRIPTION:WorkBoat Annual Conference   \nEach year The International WorkBoat Show presents the WorkBoat Annual Conference curated by the editors of WorkBoat.com\, WorkBoat Magazine\, and the WorkBoat Content Team. This year’s Conference will be broken out across three days and will focus on five sectors: “Maintenance & Repair”\, “Tugs & Coastal Towing” “Shipyards”\, “Inland Waterways & Passenger Vessel” and “Offshore”. Each program is custom designed to provide high level education and networking opportunities in a comprehensive format. \nThe Conference is built upon intensive half-day programs that allows participants to dive deeper into the challenges and opportunities facing commercial mariners today. Led by industry experts\, the program is designed to expose attendees to new information and encourage critical thinking and engaging discussions. \n\n\n\n\n\nMAINTENANCE & REPAIR PROGRAM \n\nFocused on all things maintenance and repair\, this portion of the WorkBoat Annual Conference will deliver extensive programming that supports and identifies the key challenges and opportunities for M& R professionals. Discover new means of reliability and asset management\, discover emerging technologies and future trends\, understand the importance of everyday maintenance (whether predicted/scheduled or emergency)\, and engage in thoughtful conversations with peers through networking opportunities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOFFSHORE PROGRAM \n\nWith 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. \nThis 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. \n\n\n\n\nTUGS & COASTAL TOWING PROGRAM \n\nWith 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.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHIPYARD PROGRAM \n\nShipyards 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. \nUndoubtedly\, 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. \n\n\n\n\n\nINLAND WATERWAYS & PASSENGER VESSEL PROGRAM \n\n\nA 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. \nIn 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.

With the release of the 2016 ICMM Position Statement on Preventing Catastrophic Failure of Tailings Storage Facilities\, mining companies increasingly focus on accountability\, responsibility and competency; planning and resourcing; risk management; change management; emergency preparedness and response; and review and assurance. \nMitigating future failure of tailings dams requires a cultural shift on Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs) management and governance. This cultural shift calls for education within the industry – and of stakeholders – on the design\, operation\, construction\, operation\, and closure of TSFs. \n\n\nSYMPOSIUM SESSIONS FEATURE FIVE TOPICS:\n\n\nTailings Dam Failures – Lessons Learned & Reputational Risk\nSession chairs: Kim Morrison\, Newmont Goldcorp and Dirk van Zyl\, University of British Columbia \nThe industry record on tailings dam performance\, as measured by number of failures\, has been generally unchanged over the last 50 years\, with an average of about two failures per year. However\, there is a disturbing trend of increased severity of the failures\, with the majority of failures since 1990 classifying as Serious (i.e.\, large enough to cause significant impacts or loss of life) or Very Serious (i.e.\, catastrophic dam failures that released more than one million cubic meters of tailings and\, in some instances\, resulted in multiple loss of life). \nThis session will address these important questions\, and more: \n\nAre we\, as an industry\, heeding the experience gained through these failures\, or does history continue to repeat itself?\nAre knowledge gaps\, management shortcomings\, or poor ethics to blame for the failures?\nWhat are the repercussions with respect to reputational risk of a tailings dam failure?\n\nState of Practice Session\nSession chairs: Georgia Lysay\, Freeport-McMoRan and Amanda Adams\, Stantec \nThis session will focus on the technical side and the application of engineering/science to tailings. Presentations will be case studies that address the various disciplines related to tailings: geotechnical\, climate/hydrology\, hydrogeology\, geochemistry\, slurry transport. The goal is to highlight specifics about each featured project that could be replicated in other projects to make them “state of the practice”. \nPresentations are based per stage in the TSF lifecycle: \n\nDesign\nConstruction\nOperations\nClosure\n\nTailings Governance\nSession chairs: Caius Priscu\, Anglo American and Harvey McLeod\, Klohn Crippen Berger \nThe goal of the session is to understand various governance systems and their advantages and limitations. Governance is a culture of performance that works throughout the organization with a core value of reducing risk. Governance systems start in the Corporate Office and are\, by necessity\, a mix of managerial\, technical and operational components. \nPresentations will include corporate governance models that have been implemented to reduce the risk to owners\, shareholders and the public\, and technical and operational governance systems/components. \nTailings Continuum – Selection of the Right Tailings Technology\nSession chairs: Mike Davies\, Teck and Rachel Jansen\, Paterson & Cooke \nThis session’s presentations will show different perspectives and roles within the overall efforts to evaluate\, select and then implement the right tailings process technology across the tailings continuum. The panel discussion will look at present\, near-term and longer-term projected trends within the continuum and provide all who attend an appreciation that “one size fits all” is not applicable to tailings deposition technologies. \nImportance of CULTURE in Safe Tailings Management\nSession chairs: Tamara Johndrow\, Freeport-McMoRan\, and Richard Davidson\, AECOM \nReview of recent tailings storage facility (TSF) failures indicates a number of them occurred after a history of compounding deficiencies leading to an erosion of resilience in TSF performance. Many of these deficiencies likely occurred without a full understanding of the implications of technical or business decisions on a complex\, long-lived facility. Changing conditions are inevitable\, so being able effectively predict future system behavior\, proactively search for potential challenges or changes\, and implement appropriate mitigations is critical. \nThis session explores the vital role of a company’s safety culture in driving down TSF failures to a goal of zero: \n\nCulture begins at the very top of an organization. Creating strong safety culture with an environment of responsibility in a collaborative and supportive manner is critical.\nA high level of communication between qualified operational staff\, subject matter experts and multi-tiered reviewers helps illuminate potential failure modes and actions required to improve resilience and reduce risk.\nImportant traits include securing independent and competent technical and operational assessments\, asking engaged questions\, making risk-informed decisions considering worst-case failure modes\, searching for gaps in understanding / hidden risks and mitigating proactively\, and striving for continual improvement.\n\nPresentations will include four case studies\, followed by a panel discussion\, of human elements involved with the safe design and management of TSFs. \n\n\nMANAGING GANGUE MINERALS\n\n\nProgram Chair: \nGangue minerals constitute a predominant portion of any ore deposit. Managing gangue minerals comes to play a decisive role for effective mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. Declining ore grades have made this an urgent concern at many mining operations. Experts from industry and academia will share their knowledge on a variety of aspects related to the management of gangue minerals in mineral processing and hydrometallurgical circuits. \nThis symposium features presentations examining the following technical aspects: \n\nPre-concentration of ores to manage problematic gangue\nManaging non-sulfide gangue (NSG) in flotation\nManaging sulfide gangue minerals in flotation\nManaging gangue in hydrometallurgical processes
