Have you heard about a highly focused show entitled Nitrogen+Syngas 2011? It is being organized by CRU Events and will take place at the end of this month in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Now, I came across their website quite by chance, and was immediately struck by the opening paragraph:
The conference will review developments in production technology and topical aspects of commerce for synthesis gas and downstream products, including ammonia, nitrogen fertilizers and chemicals such as Urea, AN, UAN, methanol, hydrogen and synthetic fuels (GTL).
The combination of the words ‘production technology’ and ‘urea’ was the driver to look further into the conference details, and – as I was hoping – the agenda includes some very enticing presentations.
Nitrogen+Syngas boasts top presenters and a high level audience.
For example, D. Jakobi (Head of Corporate Research & Development Services at Schmidt + Clemens) has a presentation on Nano-technology for substantial material improvement: Centralloy® G 4582 Micro R for steam reformers, whilst H. Ogawa (Technical Manager at (Sumitomo Metal Industry Ltd) will be talking on Improving metal dusting resistance in the synthesis gas environment with the new Sumitomo 696 Ni-based alloy.
Other interesting presentations are Economics of third-generation alloy protection, to be delivered by J. Visser (Manager Safurex Equipment Sales & Services, Stamicarbon) and The Use of DP28W™ reduces passivation air in urea plants, to be discussed by M. Takahashi, Materials Technology Team, Toyo Engineering Corporation).
As I said, highly informative lectures which will no doubt be of interest to many readers of Stainless Steel World.
The exhibition also has a lot of appeal, featuring over thirty renowned suppliers and engineering companies whose names will be familiar to the CRA community, such as Gemaco, Johnson Matthey, KBR, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Sandvik Process Systems, Schmidt+Clemens, Schoeller Bleckmann Nitic, Stamicarbon, Toyo Engineering, etc etc etc.
In short, this event has plenty going for it which is why, even at this last minute, I am trying to organize a trip down to Dusseldorf.
If all goes according to plan, you can expect a full retrospect in Stainless Steel World magazine and website soon after. I’ll keep you posted!
