SUMMARY:National Water Policy Fly-In
DESCRIPTION:April 3 – 4\, 2019 \n \nHyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill \nWashington\, DC\n \nThe National Water Policy Fly-In serves as the anchor event for Water Week.  Presented jointly by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA)\, the Water Environment Federation (WEF)\, the Water Research Foundation (WRF)\, and the WateReuse Association\, it is the most widely attended national policy event for water professionals to advocate on behalf of clean water utilities. \nAs has been made clear by recent comments from President Trump and congressional leaders in the new Congress\, there is strong interest in Washington to advance a bipartisan infrastructure package during 2019.  This would build off the momentum of major advocacy wins in 2018\, such as the bipartisan passage of the America’s Water Infrastructure Act. \nBut in order to ensure that any package includes water as a top priority\, it is critical that policy-makers hear directly from you about the specific challenges facing your utility and community.  Join hundreds of other clean water leaders and stakeholders as they call on the Administration and the new Congress to work in partnership with the clean sector\, invest in the nation’s clean water infrastructure\, and advance policies that benefit clean water utilities and the communities they serve.

SUMMARY:National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Project Meeting
DESCRIPTION:April 5\, 2019\nWashington Court Hotel\nWashington\, DC \nThe United States Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Project is a leading source of scientific data and knowledge for development of science-based policies and management strategies to improve and protect our water resources. Established by Congress in 1991\, the NAWQA Project addresses where\, when\, why\, and how\, the Nation’s water quality has changed or is likely to change in the future in response to human activities and natural factors. The NAWQA Project has produced scientific data and knowledge that is used by national\, regional\, state\, and local agencies to develop science-based policies and management strategies to improve and protect water resources used for drinking water\, recreation\, irrigation\, energy development and ecosystem needs. A prominent feature of NAWQA is the development of long-term consistent and comparable information on streams\, rivers\, groundwater\, and aquatic systems. \nFeatured Speakers include Gary Rowe\, Chad Wagner\, Mindi Dalton\, and Katie Skalak—all with the USGS. Speakers will discuss not only upcoming changes to the NAWQA program\, but also new priority areas for the USGS Water Mission Area. The Water Sector’s thoughts and input are essential to help guide the future of the NAWQA program.

SUMMARY:Gulf South Rotating Machinery Symposium
DESCRIPTION:2019 Invitation from our President\, Dennis Schaibly \nWelcome to the  NEW  Gulf South Rotating Machinery Symposium! \nConferences like ours have seen declines in attendance in recent times and we are wondering why. With the large numbers of the “old lions” retiring and a whole new generation of eager\, young people taking over the machinery operation and maintenance\, there should be a huge thirst for training and networking for knowledge of Rotating Equipment. \nWe want to step to the forefront of providing the industry with a source for that training right here in Baton Rouge. What began as a group of industry experts working with LSU Continuing Education (now LSU Digital & Continuing Education) in 1983 as GSCC (Gulf South Compression Conference)\, our vision continues today as GSRMS still partnered with LSU-DCE to bring a strong program of training to our industrial base. Now we are taking steps to be even more responsive to your training requirments. Here is what is coming in April to the symposium: \n\n Tutorials (2 hrs.) and Short Courses (4 hrs.) –  industry knowledge based programming and demonstrations\n Ethics Program – meet your PE training requirement for 2019\n Continuing Education Credits from LSU DCE for these programs\n A JOB FAIR – opening day opportunity to meet industry recruiters\n Trade Show – industry experts explain their projects\, innovations and services and what’s new to the industry\n Networking with your peers\, learn from others that have made the mistake before. The Fail Forward Approach.\n\nReturning to GSRMS this year…. The Crawfish Boil!  Have a little fun while learning. \nTo our business partners\, we hope you will join us and work with use to make this symposium strongly relevant to the end users\, your customers\, by promoting your participation. Your exhibit registration includes one “free pass” to reward your favorite client to a full attendance. Together we can make the Gulf South Rotating Machinery Symposium the type of event that you expect it to be.

SUMMARY:Severe Service Control Valves – Problems & Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Maintaining the performance of your facility’s control valves will ensure continued successful operations for your organization. At DFT®\, we know a thing or two about valves\, and we’re excited to share our knowledge at our upcoming webinar about control valves on May 15\, 2019 at 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. \nDuring the webinar\, we will discuss some of the common problems and solutions that develop in severe service valve equipment\, and we’ll also explore a few issues that can lead to critical failure in your service control valves. \n  \nTalking Points and Topics \nSome of the questions that we’ll answer in our webinar include: \n\nWhat is severe service?\nWhat are the different types of control valves?\nWhat types of service do they control?\nWhat is cavitation control?\n\nWe’ll also talk about our valves’ design features and how they handle the effects of cavitation and other wear and tear issues. We will provide an overview of the Bernoulli Principle\, which states that decreases in pressure and potential energy lead to increases in the speed of a fluid—one of the basic principles by which valves operate today. \nFinally\, we’ll go in depth on how causes and effects of: \n\nFlashing and cavitation\nProviding required flow\nActuation selection\nAchieving tight shutoff\nSlurries and erosion\nHigh-pressure applications\nHigh-temperature applications\n\nAfter we finish our presentation\, there will be a chance to discuss the topics covered as well as answer any questions you may have. \nSign-up for the Webinar Today! \nWhat You Need to Know About Severe Service Control Valves –Problems & Solutions \nWe at DFT® are excited to share our years of comprehensive experience in valve design\, performance\, and functionality relative to fluid control systems. Be sure to register in advance to be included in the latest information within valve technology. \nIf you would like to learn more about our products\, services\, and other resources\, don’t hesitate to view our catalog or contact our sales representatives today.

SUMMARY:Pump and Mechanical Seal Reliability
DESCRIPTION:This course provides the participant a better understanding of the reliability issues related to the interrelated functions of the centrifugal pump and mechanical seal\, as they are operated in a complex pumping system under a variety of conditions. Participants learn how to identify and address causes of poor pump and mechanical seal reliability by focusing on mechanical and operational issues that can negatively affect pump and seal performance. Basic pump and mechanical seal issues are discussed in the classroom\, and then reinforced in the laboratories using actual pumps equipped with instruments to indicate flow\, pressure\, temperature\, and power consumption. The pumps are operated by the students themselves. 60% classroom\, 40% labs. \nSpecific topics include: \n\nReview of centrifugal pump basics\nPump operating conditions that affect both pump and seal reliably\nMechanical issues that affect pump and seal reliability\nTroubleshooting centrifugal pump failures\nThe effects of the various types of cavitation in a mechanically sealed pump.\nThe importance of proper clearances in a centrifugal pump.\nReview of mechanical seal basics\nMechanical seal installation\, commissioning and operation\nDetailed steps to mechanical seal troubleshooting\nSeal failure case studies\n\n\nAUDIENCE \nThis course builds upon level 1 pump and mechanical seal courses. Experienced operations and maintenance personnel and engineers with at least 1 or more years of field experience are preferred.
