Basic Training Seminar

Now in its 31st year, this comprehensive program features state-of-the-art information on controlling corrosion and improving operation efficiency for fossil- and nuclear-fueled power plants. This year’s program is geared toward improved training and continuing education of personnel responsible for electric utility chemistry.

More than 3,000 chemists, consultants, and power plant administrators have attended the workshop since its inception in 1981. The 2011 program was developed by a committee of representatives from Midwestern electric utilities, the Illinois State Water Survey, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and consultants serving the power industry.

Some of the most popular features of the workshop are the Utility Experience presentations, in which seasoned professionals from utility companies discuss

their experiences on a range of topics. The entire workshop has been structured to encourage participation from attendees.

A notebook containing copies and/or outlines of papers presented, current water treatment papers, and reports is included in the registration fee. Notebooks are also available at $75 each for those who cannot attend the meeting. Use the registration form to order.

WhO shOuLD AttEnD

This workshop is specifically designed for personnel involved in day-to-day decisions affecting the performance of electric utility generation in fossil-fueled and nuclear power plants. The program applies equally to power plant chemists and engineers, as well as power plant designers and consultants, industrial and institutional plant engineers, managers, and operators.

cOntInuIng EDucAtIOn unIts

Each participant completing the workshop is eligible for 1.35 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The CEUs are nationally recognized units of achievement, which may be used as evidence of increased performance capabilities and for professional advancement. If your position requires CEUs for certification renewal, please inquire at the registration desk when you arrive for the workshop.

Approval is pending for this program to apply toward requirements for Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators.

This workshop also offers Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for professional engineers.

Basic Training Seminar

Now in its 31st year, this comprehensive program features state-of-the-art information on controlling corrosion and improving operation efficiency for fossil- and nuclear-fueled power plants. This year’s program is geared toward improved training and continuing education of personnel responsible for electric utility chemistry.

More than 3,000 chemists, consultants, and power plant administrators have attended the workshop since its inception in 1981. The 2011 program was developed by a committee of representatives from Midwestern electric utilities, the Illinois State Water Survey, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and consultants serving the power industry.

Some of the most popular features of the workshop are the Utility Experience presentations, in which seasoned professionals from utility companies discuss

their experiences on a range of topics. The entire workshop has been structured to encourage participation from attendees.

A notebook containing copies and/or outlines of papers presented, current water treatment papers, and reports is included in the registration fee. Notebooks are also available at $75 each for those who cannot attend the meeting. Use the registration form to order.

WhO shOuLD AttEnD

This workshop is specifically designed for personnel involved in day-to-day decisions affecting the performance of electric utility generation in fossil-fueled and nuclear power plants. The program applies equally to power plant chemists and engineers, as well as power plant designers and consultants, industrial and institutional plant engineers, managers, and operators.

cOntInuIng EDucAtIOn unIts

Each participant completing the workshop is eligible for 1.35 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The CEUs are nationally recognized units of achievement, which may be used as evidence of increased performance capabilities and for professional advancement. If your position requires CEUs for certification renewal, please inquire at the registration desk when you arrive for the workshop.

Approval is pending for this program to apply toward requirements for Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators.

This workshop also offers Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for professional engineers.
