New, Safe, Vapor Degreasing Solvents for 2016 and Beyond!
As existing solvents are regulated and new solvents emerge, it is important for the user to understand the benefits and guidelines for using these governmental approved solvents in conjunction with available cleaning systems on the market today. This presentation will provide a current comprehensive look at current EPA / OSHA / NESHAP solvent regulations; emerging NEW solvents; market trends for solvent cleaning; state-of-the-art equipment; and what is the future of solvent cleaning into the 2020's.

Effectively Manage Transitions from Conventional Phosphates to Advanced "Phosphorus-Free" Pretreatments
Advanced pretreatments offer significant overall process cost savings due to reduced energy requirements, wastewater treatment and labor costs, as well as other operational expenses. This presentation will highlight Management of Change (MOC) steps to assure that the proper considerations are addressed before changes are implemented, including: the technical basis for the proposed change; impact of the change on safety and health; modifications to operating procedures; necessary time period for the change; authorization requirements for the proposed change; training of affected personnel prior to implementation; modifications to safety information and performance requirements; modifications of washers per a completed audit.

Be Nice to Mother Earth! How to Remove Oils & Soils from Industrial Wastewater and Recycle Aqueous Cleaning Solutions
This session will cover basic oil/soil removal options and membrane filtration. In the past, capital costs, maintenance requirements and integration complexities precluded widespread membrane implementation. However, after decades of success in "end-of-pipe" wastewater treatment applications, today's membrane materials-of-construction often thrive at higher temperatures and wider pH ranges = point-of-use capabilities! These advancements, plus operator-friendly, less attention-demanding equipment and ever-decreasing H2O availability, make WWT/recycling not only practical and potentially profitable, but almost necessary.
