DESCRIPTION:For over two decades\, SWPA has been providing unmatched\, one-of-a-kind educational programs giving attendees the opportunity to interact with dozens of SWPA Member Industry Experts while tapping into their extensive experience and wide-ranging expertise. This unique two-day session combines our two highly successful training programs into one comprehensive two-day forum. Day one will be a general session for all attendees. Day two will break out into two separate tracks… Pumping Systems Training and Controls Training. For those of you who are looking to the next level in training\, we offer two “200 Level” training courses and a New Hands-on Control Panel Assembly and Troubleshooting course. \nKeynote presentation will be Tom Decker \nIn 2016 and after a career spanning more than four decades\, Tom Decker saddled up his horse\, rode into the sunset\, and crossed full-time employment for large diversified engineering and construction companies off his bucket list. Following his formal retirement\, Tom is now heading up Thomas E. Decker Consulting based in Northern Virginia and provides market strategy and business management expertise to water and wastewater sector companies\, organizations\, and agencies. \nPrior to becoming “the best boss he has ever worked for”\, Tom was a vice president and geographic area leader for Brown and Caldwell\, a vice president\, regional business group manager\, and principal program manager with CH2M HILL\, a vice president and business development director with the Parsons Corporation and a partner and director of marketing for the Infrastructure Business of Black & Veatch. \nHe has served on the board of directors of the Water Environment Federation and the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists and is a past president of the Missouri Water Environment Association. \nDuring his long and eventful engagement in the water and wastewater field\, he has led worldwide and national business development operations\, directed numerous growth initiatives ranging from geographic expansions to acquisitions of companies\, orchestrated “an impossible to count” number of direct sales efforts for engineering and construction services\, developed strategic plans for business units\, departments\, and individual service lines\, directed business unit operations\, led business planning efforts for water and wastewater utilities\, and has been a program manager for large capital improvement programs. At one point in his career\, he even operated wastewater treatment plants. \nBecause of this very expansive background\, he has comprehensive and unique grasp of the business of water. He is a frequent speaker to a variety of trade and professional groups on the issues and trends impacting the water and wastewater marketplace. \nHe is a registered professional engineer in multiple states and is a Board-Certified Environmental Engineer by the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists.

SUMMARY:Special Considerations for Valve Losses in Compressible Flow: Cv/Kv & xT
DESCRIPTION:When building models in AFT Arrow\, you may notice the Cv/Kv loss models in valves require extra input\, known as xT. This does not show up in valve models for incompressible flow\, which most people are more comfortable with. ANSI/ISA-75.01.01-2012 defines xT and special considerations for compressible flow\, and gives methods for control valve sizing. AFT has equations from that standard native in Arrow’s regular valves and control valves. \nJoin Applied Flow Technology for the webinar to walk away with understanding these various terms and how they apply in Arrow. They will also go through what to do when you may not have the appropriate data. \nPresenter: Walt Prentice\, Business Applications Engineer II \nWednesday\, March 15\, 2023 \n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM (MST) \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Modeling and Mitigating Check Valve Slam - Theory and Applications
DESCRIPTION:Check valves are designed to protect equipment from sustained reverse flow\, but a closing check valve introduces a lurking risk of secondary surge. This webinar will outline considerations for check valve selection such as the type of check valve\, the system potential for reverse flow\, and the deceleration of the system’s fluid. \nAFT will take a look at a slam event using AFT Impulse’s built-in deceleration curves to find which valve will work best in their case.

SUMMARY:CO2 Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:Registration is open for the CO2 Lunch & Learn event being held by Atlas Copco Gas and Process at the Westin Galleria hotel in Houston\, Texas. On February 17th 2023\, visitors will gain insights into turbocompressor and centrifugal pump solutions for CO2 applications. Presenters Ulrich Schmitz\, Vice President of Marketing for Atlas Copco Gas and Process\, along with Chris Cherry\, Applications Manager for CPC Pumps International\, will share their expert knowledge in customized process equipment. \nAs Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage adoption continues to grow\, creating safe and efficient solutions for handling CO2 is key. Atlas Copco Gas and Process is dedicated to providing energy-efficient and reliable turbocompressors which support\, for example\, applications boosting low-pressure wet CO2 for transport\, or higher-pressure CO2 processes for sequestration. \nThroughout this event we will provide an in-depth look at centrifugal compressor design and discuss what factors need to be taken into consideration when selecting process compressors and pumps that will operate in CCUS. CPC Pumps will be featuring their new HB Model BB5 multistage pump and will delve into their capabilities related to CO2 handling. \nCPC Pumps are inviting you to join as this represents a unique opportunity to gain insights into how the right equipment can improve your operating efficiency and reduce down-time.

SUMMARY:Modern Steam Hammer Load Analyses Are Not as Safe as You Think – New\, Improved Methods Can Help
DESCRIPTION:When steam turbines trip the turbine stop valve closes rapidly which generates a steam hammer transient wave. This wave can cause significant transient loads on piping. The de facto method of predicting these loads is the Goodling Method from the 1980s. AFT’s newest software product AFT xStream revealed that the Goodling Method was not always conservative – which means that existing fossil and nuclear power stations are not as safe as believed. Using this information\, an improved analytic method has been developed and will be discussed. \nWednesday\, February 15\, 2023 \n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM (MST) \nPresenter: Trey Walters\, P.E.\, AFT Founder & President\, ASME Fellow \nTrey founded AFT in 1993. He holds a BSME (1985) and MSME (1986)\, both from the University of California\, Santa Barbara.
