Energy Stewardship: Save Energy, Reduce Air Pollution, Increase Profits
John McGraw, Territory Manager, Cambridge Engineering and Ken Williams, Director of Marketing, Cambridge Engineering

This presentation will provide an overview of industrial direct gas-fired heating equipment; benefits of high performance, Cambridge Blow-Thru type heaters, a proven green technology; energy savings and reduced CO2 emissions, DURR Case Study and much more.

Energy Efficiency Implementation Case Study
Donna Zobel, Myron Zucker, Inc.

This presentation will illustrate the practical application of power factor correction capacitators to a Michigan-based facility and discuss the short- and long-term benefits. Attendees will learn how to review a utility bill, determine amount of power factor correction, and more.

Basic Energy Auditing & Resources / Advancements with Boiler Economizers
Robert P. Fegan, Energy Management Consultant, DTE Energy; Sunil Kumar, Engineer, GENIVAR; Hayward V. Burton, Consultant, H.V. Burton Company; and Cameron Veitch, Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Product Development, Combustion & Energy Systems

During this solid two-hour session, the presenters will provide a comprehensive overview of how to identify ways to save energy and how boiler economizers can assist. The session will begin with a step-by-step process for performing energy audits, the cost range and where to obtain resources for implementation, and then continue with various applications for boiler economizers and their economics. The session ends with a panel discussion with the four subject matter expert presenters.

Emerging Technology that Reduces Energy Consumption in Automotive Metal Forming and General Stamping
Mark Sutton - Komatsu America, Industries

The metalforming industry and their presses have always used energy inefficiently. An emerging technology known as Servo Press is being used as a way to provide energy only when it’s needed. Find out about this new mechanism and the success stories from users who have benefited from it.

Energy Savings by Balancing Air
Fiaz Yono, Energy Manager, Chrysler LLC

An air balance study was recently conducted at a Chrysler transmission plant and resulted in four operating modes for the heat and ventilation systems that could significantly reduce air and gas consumption. Learn how the same thing can be done at any facility easily and at no cost.

VOC Energy Recovery
Frank Fenbert, Environmental Director, Professional Supply, Inc.

Many industries require Thermal Oxidizers (RTO) to comply with Federal, State and local environmental regulations of Volatile Organic Compounds. Learn about a new technology aimed at capturing these VOC’s using a carbon fluidized bed and energy alternatives for the waste material.

How to Metrics
Aiman Abdrabou, Energy Manager, DTE Energy

Find out practical ways to develop and implement an energy management program; Identify opportunities/ projects; set metrics for measuring improvements on energy reduction and develop an energy awareness program.

Catalysts For Improving Energy Efficiency in Regenerative Oxidisers
Yuri Matros - Matros Technologies, Inc.

About 800 regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) are operating in various industries in the U.S. controlling emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), but do they work? In this session, you’ll learn about several case-studies related to the implementation of inexpensive and robut base-metal catalysts and the monitoring of catalyst performance.

Waste Energy Recovery in Industry
Bruce McKenna - Exothermics, Inc.

There is an abundance of applications for Waste Heat Recovery and technologies to address a majority of these applications. This presentation will discuss current obstacles to increased waste energy conservation and provide a different way to look at energy recovery by industry management, as well as a short term plan to benefit from energy conservation.

Energy Efficiency Case Study: GO Transit Rail Maintenance Facility”
David Burd, Earth Tech Canada

To the average train passenger, the GO Transit Rail Facility is just another train stop. The reality is that the facility, which operates the commuter rail system serving the Greater Toronto Area, features an Energy Management System resulting in a microprocessor-based system to control and monitor HVAC equipment, lighting and utilities within the building.

Keynote: The Impact of Emerging Technologies on “Greener” Industrial Operations

JAMES R. SCAPA
President and CEO
Altair Engineering, Inc.

From residential communities to industrial operations, the environmental impact of how we live and work is a growing concern. Energy conservation and the eco-friendly movement have spawned new businesses, products and academic research, resulting in expanded roles for architects, building contractors and engineers. Not unlike the market shift from VHS to DVDs, solid-state lighting (LEDs) will likely replace incandescent and fluorescent lighting within our lifetimes. From sustainable design, to materials, to fuel sources, the future looks much greener.
