The goal of the conference is to give attendees the knowledge and background to assess and understand the condition of their combustion system equipment. Attendees will also be given exposure to the latest techniques for the upgrade and optimization of their systems to improve energy performance and reduce emissions. The workshop will highlight the opportunities for sensors and controls to achieve tighter control of temperature zones, better adjusting of thermal systems, and increased process throughput and energy savings. The use of sensors and diagnostics, computational fluid dynamics modeling and visualization, techno-economic evaluations, and advanced energy optimization techniques such as thermal recovery and use of pure oxygen, as well as selection of refractory materials, will be covered. The conference will also cover decarbonization-related topics such as the use of low-carbon fuels and energy sources, use of electrotechnologies and the application of innovative energy efficiency solutions.

Photonics BW e.V.

Ob in der Beleuchtungstechnik, Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik, der Displaytechnik, der Messtechnik, der Medizin, der Biophotonik oder der Fertigungstechnik – Licht findet vielfältigste praktische Anwendungen. Immer mehr werden Funktionen durch Optische Technologien realisiert, enthalten Produkte optische Komponenten als Schlüsselbausteine. In allen Branchen werden aus diesem Grund Kenntnisse der Optik und der Auslegung optischer Systeme für Entwickler und Anwender immer wichtiger. Photonics BW bietet daher seit vielen Jahren ein Programm zur gezielten Weiterbildung auf dem Gebiet der angewandten Optik, speziell zur Auslegung und Berechnung optischer Systeme. Schwerpunkt des Seminars „Optische Systeme: Design und Simulation“ ist die abbildende Optik.

Ernst & Sohn

Since 1979 the renowned Grouting Fundamentals & Current Practice short course has provided unique professional training and education to thousands of grouting professionals worldwide. The 2023 Munich course faculty includes ­20 technical specialists representing 10 countries.

Geoscientists and engineers are very comfortable using seismic data sets acquired with geophones, hydrophones, and accelerometers because we have a long, well-defined set of standards for acquiring, processing, and interpreting them. However, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) seismic measurements are rapidly augmenting, and in some cases replacing, the data from these conventional tools. Technologists are frequently unaccustomed to using DAS seismic data sets since it directly acquires relative strain or strain rate measurements and not the more familiar pressure, displacement, velocity, and acceleration data. There are also acquisition parameter selections that must be made to optimize the acquired data to accomplish the purpose of the seismic survey. This course is designed to build an intuition and understanding of the value, limitations, and applications of DAS seismic technology. In addition to the lecture and accompanying book, software will be provided, which will allow the student to interactively explore DAS seismic technology.

Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST) - AIST Metallurgy — Processing, Products & Applications Technology Committee

Advanced high-strength sheet steels (AHSS) are of increasing importance, particularly to the automotive industry, where their application enables reduced fuel consumption while guaranteeing passive safety. The scope of the conference is to bring together the international community to highlight state-of-the-art research and development pertaining to AHSS. The conference will focus on the latest developments in dual phase, twinning induced plasticity, martensitic, quenched and partitioned, medium manganese steels, other third-generation AHSS concepts and hot stamped steels along with recent experiences with industrial implementation and end-user application performance. A broad distribution of presentation topics is scheduled from international and domestic speakers from industry as well as academia. The conference is the latest installment in a series of product specific conferences following the AHSS symposia in Winter Park, Colo., in 2004, Orlando, Fla., in 2008 and Vail, Colo., in 2013.

Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST)

This seminar will provide a comprehensive overview of process lines, including pickling, annealing, galvanizing, cleaning, plating, painting, skinpass rolling, leveling, slitting and special processes. This seminar will also focus on terminal equipment for the entry and exit sections, strip quality assessment, industrial hygiene, safety, environmental concerns, overview of modeling for design and line control, operations, maintenance, and factors to consider in configuring a new process line. There will be many opportunities to discuss issues and solve problems during the question-and-answer periods.
