Dear Valve friends and colleagues,

On behalf of the ValveWorld team, steering committee and

advisory group I am very pleased to invite you to join us at

the ValveWorld Conference in Maastricht, The Netherlands.

We began preparation for the conference determined to

create an event for everyone with an interest in valves and

flow control, be they a student or a seasoned professional.

We feel that the range of papers we have selected has

achieved this objective admirably.

The ValveWorld team, steering committee and advisory

group really had its work cut out, as we were tasked with

reviewing close on 100 abstract papers. My thanks to all the

contributors! Their efforts mean the conference has

interesting, informative and varied content. As you can see,

the advance programme contains four plenary lectures, 55

parallel presentations and six workshops. The session

topics will be standardization, modelling & design,

automated valves & safety, materials, maintenance, fugitive

emissions, fluid dynamics, reliability, sealing, procurement

and castings. With this improved program we now need an

audience to make the conference a successful event, so

please do sign up quickly and benefit from the attractive

“early bird” rates. You can find more information on the

registration form elsewhere in this publication.

I am also pleased to reveal a new feature at the year 2008

conference, namely a speakers' corner. This will give

attendees greater opportunity to meet with various

presenters. I'm also delighted that my friend and colleague

Barrie Kirkman will be giving a master-class on end-user

procurement practises and techniques.

But the conference is not just about the technical content.

Equally important is the opportunity to meet with your

peers, both end-users and suppliers, active in a whole

range of industries. An explicit timeslot has been built into

the program for visiting the Expo. I know how important

networking is to us all. In fact, I see approaching people,

being open and communicating with them as hugely

important in both my professional and personal life. Valve

World 2008 is an ideal platform to meet people, as it is a

very social event.

I am sure you will find this conference and exhibition a

rewarding blend of technical and social activities, in the

beautiful historic city of Maastricht, The Netherlands.

The ValveWorld team, steering committee, advisory group

and I look forward to meeting you at the Sixth Biennial

ValveWorld conference and exhibition, the 4th, 5th and 6th

of November 2008.

Cees Glansdorp,

Shell Global Solutions International B.V.

Chairman ValveWorld Conference.

Join us at Valve World

Maastricht - the place to be

TheValve World 2008 Conference & Expo will

be held in the MECC (Maastricht Expo and

Congress Centre) in Maastricht, in the South

of the Netherlands, close to where the borders of

the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany meet.

Maastricht is a city with a charming yet

international character and with a definite

Burgundian atmosphere. The city owes all this to its

rich history and its position on the crossroads of

different European cultures, languages and trade

routes. All these factors make Maastricht an ideal

meeting point for the “Euregion” and beyond. If you

would like to explore the city, Maastricht has an

excellent bus service. City buses run about every

five minutes between Maastricht city centre,

Maastricht Central Station, the conference hotels

and the MECC. During all conference days,

delegates have free access to Maastricht city buses

upon showing their delegate badges.

The MECC is a modern conference centre hosting

seminars, conferences, exhibitions and other events

of all shapes and sizes. All conference rooms are

located in the MECC Euro Centre, accessible

directly, and for delegates only, from the Expo Hall.

The name Euro Centre is a reference to the

Maastricht Treaty, signed in 1992, in which the

decision was made to introduce a single European

currency, the Euro.

For more information: www.mecc.nl

ValveWorld events offer plenty of opportunities to meet

and greet fellow materials specialists from across the

globe. TheWelcome Reception, the Conference, the

Exhibition and of course the Conference Dinner.

All conference delegates will have free access to the

ValveWorld 2008 Exhibition, which runs in parallel with

the conference. The technical and commercial staff of

almost 400 specialised companies from all over the

world will be pleased to give you an update on the

availability of their products. All conference breaks will

be in the Exhibition hall, enabling conference delegates

to visit the Exhibition during their break. If you would

like more information about the Exhibition, please

The Conference

“Speakers’ Corner”

at Valve World

Maastricht is an

exciting new venture

to share end user

experiences directly

with expo attendees

and exhibitors.

Though the

Conference has been

very well attended in

past years not all have the time to participate. Life

is too busy. So the idea is let's bring a little of the

conference into the expo!

Two hourly afternoon sessions will cover aspects

of valve procurement, technical issues, and

manufacturer and approval techniques. Different

subjects will be discussed on each day. If anyone

wishes a specific topic be addressed then please

contact me and I will do my very best to

accommodate it.

The format will be in a relaxed atmosphere.

Interaction with the listeners will be encouraged

and hopefully in the true spirit of “Speakers’

Corner” there will be those who volunteer their

comments and suggestions!

So here's to November when I hope to see you in

the main expo coffee area on Wednesday (5th)

and Thursday (6th) afternoons. Please come and

join in.

The Speakers’ Corner is run by BarrieKirkman.Barrie retired from BP after 33 years service in

2004. During this time he was technical and

procurement champion for valves responsible for

BP valve strategies, technical specifications,

vendor audits, developing approved manufactures

and implementing regional and global

agreements.

Barrie now provides an independent consultancy

service to the industry and has worked for Shell,

BP, BASF and Ineos. Barrie is familiar with a wide

spectrum of suppliers and manufacturing

methods.

Barrie is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer and a

fellow member of Valve World Magazine. He

writes regular articles on various aspects of the

industry and still visits many companies around

the world.

NEW! Speakers’ Corner

Meet the newsteeringcommitteememberDavid Hersant -

He obtained the

diploma of

engineer in

mechanics and

metallurgy from

the CESTI (Centre

d'Études

Supérieur des Techniques Industrielles) in

1987.

He achieved a PhD in metallurgy in 1991 at

the CEA (Commissariat à l'Énergie

Atomique). The subject of the thesis was

"The numerical simulation of diffusion in

concentrated alloys at the atomic level".

He has been working at EDF/R&D since

1991. He was formerly interested in wear

and he has focused on valve technology

since 2000. Their main topics are :

qualification, maintenance, packing, hard-

facing alloys, testing on loops, FEM and

CFD analysis.

He has carried out numerical simulation of

several phenomena such as "Thermal-

Binding", and "Boiler effects"etc. He

always tries to compare experiments and

numerical simulation with the aim to build

analytical models.

He is a manager of the NICODEME 2

project whose aim is to provide EDF with

new ways to qualify valves in nuclear

plants. This will last four years and the

products will mainly be analytical tools

and simplified tests.

He hopes the Valve World Conference will

demonstrate that R&D tools are useful to

increase knowledge of valve designs and

performances.

Moderator: Cor Bahnerth

Thursday November 6,

2008 at 14:00

As a young

maintenance mechanic

he started at Shell

Refinery Pernis (SNR) in

The Netherlands in 1965

and he worked at Pernis

for about 8 years. In

1972 he was transferred from Pernis to Petro-

Chemical site of Shell Chemicals at Moerdijk (SNC).

In 1972 and early 1973 he was involved in the

mechanical completion of the Naphtha steam-

cracker at that location.

From 1974 till 1980 he followed, beside his daily

job, a mechanical engineering study. Till 1984 he

worked in several positions for the maintenance

department at Moerdijk and in the Spring of that

year he started to work for the mechanical

engineering & maintenance technology department

in particular at the Valve and Sealing section. In

1993 he became a job as Quality Co-ordinator in

which he was responsible for the ISO 9001-14001

certification of all maintenance departments of

SNC. Since December 1994 he is also a certified ISO

9001 Lead Assessor for third party quality

assessments (with a follow-up in 2001).

In 1998 till the end of 2007 he worked again as a

mechanical engineer for the SNC location Moerdijk

as well as SNC Pernis. In that period he adviced

also Shell Global Solutions in The Hague

concerning technical matters with regard to global

valve contracts. In November 2006 he was one of

the moderators of the Valve World workshop. In

August 2007 he retired from Shell Chemicals in The

Netherlands.

From January 2008 he works for his own company

Bahnerth Valve Consultancy BV as a Consultant for

valve and sealing technology, maintenance

technology and technical & quality management.

He is looking forward to Valve World 2008, in

particular to the Valve World workshop. In this

workshop he will show the attendees the

(undervalued) difference in behaviour between

Safety relief valves acting on Gas/Vapour or acting

on Liquid, especially if the overhaul or repair is not

carried out properly and/or carried out in

accordance with the appropriate manufacturer

standards.

He hopes and expects that attendees of the Valve

World 2008 master-class will afterwards

understand the differences in overhaul/repair and

testing of safety relief valves for gas/vapour service

or liquid service.

Valve World is again pleased to announce it will organise an entertaining Partner Programme forany family and friends who may be joining you at this year's ValveWorld event in Maastricht. Theprogramme will include invitations to all social functions such as welcome reception, the lunchesand the conference dinner.
