News > 2003 UNVL Industrial Ventilation Conference The 4th Annual UNLV Industrial Ventilation Conference will be held March 10 - 13, 2003 & Troubleshooting Workshop March 14, 2003 at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. The Industrial Ventilation Conference is designed to combine lectures with problem sessions on how to design ventilation systems that will provide the desired control over the in-plant environment as well as meet the constraints of air pollution control and energy limits. The purpose of this conference is to help you provide ventilation, which is effective, and economical through proper application of established principles based on the ACGIH Industrial Ventilation Manual, the source of ventilation guidelines contained in OSHA standards. LECTURE TOPICS The purpose of this conference is to teach effective and economical ventilation practices and design techniques through the application of established principals. Federal and state occupational safety and health programs require control of air contaminants in the working environment. Compliance is achieved through process and contaminant control ventilation. Customer and consumer demand for product quality also places an increasing emphasis on in-plant containment control. Ventilation systems provide the desire control over the in-plant environment and when they are properly planned, designed and maintained, will operate within the constraints of air pollution emission control and energy limits. This conference will present the principals of airflow, how to control airborne contaminants and how to properly test systems. There will be both lectures and hands on problem sessions that will take you step by step through the design of various types of systems. You will learn to select appropriate exhaust devices and hoods, determine air volume and minimum duct velocity, how to size duct, the calculation of system pressure losses, the selection of fans, air cleaning devices and other ventilation topics. This course will help you understand, design and maintain efficient, effective and economical industrial exhaust ventilation systems. Each attendee will receive a copy of the latest edition of Industrial Ventilation - A Manual of Recommended Practice published by American Conference of Governmental & Industrial Hygienist (ACGIH). Who Should Attend: This course is intended for plant engineers, industrial hygienist, sheet metal contractors, plant and operations managers, consulting engineers, risk managers and anyone involved in ventilation system design, maintenance and performance. Problem Sessions: Each attendee will choose one of the problem sessions below and work problems in these classes throughout the conference. We will examine a broad range of industrial processes and the problems are sequenced to allow you to develop the necessary skills to design complete ventilation systems. You will learn to select exhaust systems for various situations, determine air volume and minimum duct velocity, size duct, calculate system pressure losses and select fans and air cleaning devices. We ask that you bring a calculator with scientific functions to aid in working the classroom problems. All problem sets and calculation sheets will be provided. Each attendee will also receive a copy of the latest edition of Industrial Ventilation - A manual of Recommended Practice published by American Conference of Governmental & Industrial Hygienist (ACGIH). Classes: Ventilation Systems Design - These classes are intended for persons who do not design ventilation systems regularly or who have system maintenance responsibilities. It is also recommended for persons who have no prior experience or specific education in ventilation system design. The problems will emphasize fundamentals of airflow in systems and will include selection of exhaust hoods, determination of air volume and maximum duct velocity, sizing of ducts, calculation of system pressure losses and selection of fans and air cleaning devices. Advanced Systems Design - These are advanced design classes and will deal with a broad range of industrial processes and include hood, duct and fan selection. High temperature without moisture will be included. Non-Standard Air - These design classes will deal with exhaust systems, which involve elevated air temperature and/or moisture, where the density may vary significantly from standard conditions. Air volume and pressure calculation will be made using psychrometric charts in order to determine duct sizes, fan characteristics and adequate motor horsepower. Plant Engineering / Ventilation Design - This design section will deal with systems that involve air systems in a plant. Included will be industrial processes, standard air and high temperature air, selection of wall and roof fans, noise and other problems that plant engineers may encounter. Location: The conference will be held at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. Conference will have special per guest rates for Sunday - Saturday. Fee and Registration: The fee for the four- day conference is $695.00 U.S.; Troubleshooting Workshop 1/2 day is $95.00 U.S. Registration must be made in advance and all fees are due at the time of registration. The fee includes all course materials, a copy of the text, Industrial Ventilation - A Manual of Recommended Practice and detailed technical information for fans, as well as a comprehensive package of related engineering reference materials. The fee also includes lunch, A.M. and P.M. coffee break refreshments. The fee does not include travel or lodging. A certificate will be presented to each participant who successfully completes the program. Enrollment will be limited: therefore, early registration is advised. To register call (702) 895-3394 or complete the enrollment form and FAX it to (702) 895-4195, or mail it to UNLV Division of Continuing Education, 4505 Maryland Parkway, Box 451019, Las Vegas, NV 89154-1019. Cancellation Policy: An administrative fee of $25.00 per person will be charged for refund request received before December 20, 2002. An administrative fee of $200.00 per person will be charged for refund request received after December 20th, 2002. No shows will not receive a refund, however you may send a substitute participant. In the unlikely event of cancellation by the sponsors, liability to the participants is limited to the refund of the registration fee. Conference Check-in: Conference check-in will be from 7:00 to 8:15 A.M. on Monday. Registration must be made in advance. Credit: CE CREDITS Continuing Education Units (CUEs) to be awarded for this program 3.20 & 0.40. The American Board of Industrial Hygiene will award 4.0 Certification Maintenance Credits to Certified industrial Hygienist (C.I.H.) who satisfactorily complete the conference and turn in a signed ABIH verification form. Industrial Ventilation Conference - Troubleshooting: This workshop is presented following the Ventilation Conference and covers the need for maintenance, maintenance scheduling, technical documentation and base-line date at start-up. We will cover the procedure for troubleshooting a system using the static pressure method and Baghouse/Fan troubleshooting. We will also show how to apply troubleshooting methods to a familiar problem from the conference. The UNLV Industrial Ventilation Conference - Troubleshooting will be held March 14, 2003 at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas, NV, from 8 AM - 12 PM. |
