Second International Conference on the Interaction of
Organics and Organic Cycle Treatment Chemicals with
Water, Steam, and Materials
was held November 4-6 in Lucerne, Switzerland. The conference
was sponsored by EPRI and Power Plant Chemistry, GmbH.
Approximately 80 attendees from throughout Europe, South
America, the Middle East and Africa attended the 3-day
conference. David Daniels represented M&M Engineering.
Conference topics included organics in makeup water,
the effects of organic breakdown products on steam turbine
materials, organic boiler treatments, and cation conductivity
and TOC monitoring. Highlights of this conference will
be the subject of a future Conduit article.
The
International Water Conference
was held in San Antonio, Texas, October 27-29 and was
attended by approximately 200 from around the US and
many foreign countries. Following the conference, David
