Practical Aspects of Foam-Assisted SAGD
2020-08-12 16:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Webinar
Steam-foam has been used extensively in field trials to improve steam conformance, both for cyclic steam injection and steam flood. It is a proven process and very useful lessons can be drawn from these field trials to plan new projects. However, foam has not yet been used to improve SAGD (Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage) performances.
The presentation provides useful physical considerations on the steam-foam process along with detailed guidelines for the implementation of the Foam-Assisted SAGD process in the field. It will be useful for engineers that are considering foam to improve the performances of SAGD by targeting a reduction of the steam consumption or the Steam Oil Ratio.

Armstrong Design Envelope Boosters. Energy Audit Work
2020-08-25 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Chicago) | Webinar
Pressure booster systems in potable water applications serve an important purpose in modern-day buildings. They operate almost unnoticed, providing reliable water pressure, but unfortunately, are often inefficient from the standpoint of energy usage. Through some simple audit steps, building owners and operators can assess the energy requirements and actual energy usage of pressure booster systems, and apply that in-depth knowledge to decisions relating to retrofit projects. Join us Tuesday, August 25th for a discussion of energy audits, and the potential for savings through a retrofit of a pressure booster system.

Manufacturing Day 2020 - #MFGDay20
2020-10-02 | CA
#MFGDay20 is More Important than Ever.
The National Association of Manufacturers is the largest manufacturing association in the United States, representing small and large manufacturers in every industrial sector across the country. Manufacturing employs more than 12.1 million people, contributes $2.36 trillion to the American economy annually, and accounts for 63% of private-sector research and development. The NAM is a powerful voice of the manufacturing community and a leading advocate for a policy agenda that helps manufacturers compete in the global economy – which is why celebrating Manufacturing Day – even if only online – is more important than ever.
The public must continue to see how critical manufacturing is to our country. Facing an unprecedented pandemic, manufacturers have stepped up to produce sanitizer, test kits, personal protective equipment, and a range of other materials to support Americans through this unique period of time. Throughout our nation’s response effort—and during Manufacturing Day in particular—we hope that more young people will see how creators respond when our country needs them most and choose to join in this effort by pursuing a career in modern manufacturing. This is why you are invited to participate in #MFGDay20 on October 2nd, which is really only the start of a month-long celebration.
Read our article in the digital magazine to learn more about #MFGDay20 and use that hashtag to follow along online!
