Save Energy Now Workshop
Convert Industrial Wastes to On-Site Heat and Power (or, How to Survive Natural Gas at $10/MMBtu)
January 30, 2008 - New Orleans, LA

This one-day workshop focused on the conversion of industrial process wastes and byproducts such as petroleum coke, wood wastes, waste heat, and landfill gas for energy production in the form of heat and power (cogeneration). Facility managers and corporate decision-makers of large industrial facilities (including petrochemical refineries, chemical manufacturing, and pulp and paper mills) learned how to turn wastes to profits.
