Texas Industrial Energy Management Forum
Has your company hired or is it planning to hire young professionals as it prepares for the retirement of its Baby Boomers (individuals born between 1946 and 1964)? If so, effective transfer of institutional knowledge and training of these young professionals in the energy management best practices your company employs is probably high on your priorities. More and more, managers and senior personnel within companies are discovering different challenges in onboarding and training the Millennial generation – individuals born between 1980 and 2000 – than previous generations.
In 2015, Millennials comprised more than one-third of the workforce. So understanding these challenges and identifying onboarding and training methods/approaches that have proved successful with the millennial generation will be critical to the continued success of your energy management program, the future of your company and minimization of this expense. In this forum, you will hear from representatives from companies who will share their experiences, lessons learned and solutions as they have worked their way through this critical business issue.
Panelists will provide a 20 minute presentation on the forum topic followed by a panel discussion and Q&A from the audience.

April 2017 Monthly Dinner Meeting: Process Overpressure Protection - Challenging Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Abstract
For most process and utility systems, the last line of defense against overpressuring equipment is the relief system. While the basic concepts of overpressure protection have been the same for several decades, there are still too many overpressure incidents, with some leading to explosions, fires and fatalities.
Case histories of overpressure scenarios and relief system design issues will be presented, with design traps and tips for each case history.
