DESALINATION O&M 2011

Water supply is critical in the Gulf Region and with this comes big business opportunities. Although new projects have dominated the headlines in recent years, those of us in the industry realize that it is now time to focus our attention on O&M in order to deliver more water at lower costs with cutting edge asset management strategies. As desalination plants age, we need to evaluate and ultimately invest in new technologies, in order to minimise downtime and to extend the lifecycle of these plants. We need to build on innovative O&M successes to increase reliability and improve profi t margins. Most of all, we absolutely need to be proactive and not reactive when aintaining our plants and we need to solve the challenges of component obsolescence and chemical optimisation and that is just the beginning.

In light of this increased but welcome pressure, C5 is proud to present the inaugural Desalination O&M 2011 conference, developed by O&M professionals for O&M professionals and the only conference dealing specifi cally with our challenges and where key O&M experts from EMEA will share their experience and insights to help you manoeuvre through 2011 and beyond. Come to hear specially tailored case studies on:

• How to develop a complete asset management programme comprising all elements necessary for long term plant operations
• Increasing investment in training people to develop and operate desalination technology
• Understanding the fouling potential of sea water in the Gulf Region and determining how this impacts on pre-treatment design
• Best practice methods of monitoring and optimising chemical dosing systems
• The multiple pros and cons of co-current versus counter current operation of AWC
• Enhancing the part load operation performance of Multi Stage Flash (MSF) desalination plants
