California or Bust,
ISA AD is a must…see us in Anaheim
The Call for Papers was recently sent out to Analysis
Division, Chemical & Petroleum Division (ChemPID) and Food & Pharmaceutical
Division (FPID) and we are pleased to announce that the 3-day technical program
is nearly full. In late January, we
will post the program details on the website (www.adsymposium.org).
The attendee registration is now open and our peers have already signed
up for this outstanding symposium; more information available at
http://www.adsymposium.org/Registration/Registration.htm .
Analysis Division has a long running tradition of providing
excellent training opportunities in conjunction with the AD symposium, and AD
2012 will provide the traditional and new sessions.
On Sunday there will be the traditional fundamental course and an
advanced course. The Fundamentals
of Process Analysis course provides an overview of analytical principles,
equipment and practices commonly used in the implementation of process analyzers
in the refining, chemical and power industries.
These topics are presented by a team of ISA AD senior subject
matter experts who interact with the attendees through instruction, sharing of
experiences and answering questions.
The Advanced course offered is “How to Design Sampling Systems that Work-
advanced techniques to improve
your engineering skills”.
This one day course will focus on selected engineering
methods of sampling system design. The course assumes some prior experience in
engineering or maintaining process analyzer sampling systems, but those new to
the art will also learn some useful skills. The objective is to improve process
analyzer reliability by better sample system design.
This topic is presented by Tony Waters.
AD is excited to
present a new format training session on Thursday, four hands-on training by
ABB, Siemens, Servomex, and Ametek.
Additional information will be available on the
AD Symposium website.
Vendors with products and services of interest to process
and laboratory analyzer users are invited to be present at the Symposium to meet
and visit with attendees. AD2012 will
offer vendor exhibit booths in the same format as was done at South Shore Harbor
in 2011. The Ballroom of the Crowne Plaza Hotel will be the meeting place during
breaks, lunches, and evening buffets for contact with potential customers and
viewing the latest in analytical instrumentation, software, and applications.
A new twist this year, Monday will be Analysis Exhibition Day where
visitors will be allowed to visit the exhibits at no cost and are not required
to register for the Symposium. Vendors
will receive ten (10) visitor passes with exhibit booth registration to
encourage local interest groups to attend.
The vendor exhibit registration form will soon be available on the AD
Symposium website. Although the
form wasn’t yet available, there has been a ground swell of interest in about
the exhibit booth format and registration.
For more information, please contact Paul Otteman (potteman@summitfluidtech.com)
or download the registration form
here.
AD2012 Symposium will be held at Crowne Plaza Hotel in
Anaheim California. We have a block
of rooms held at group rate of $115/night until March 30, 2012.
Consider booking your hotel room early because there are many events
taking place at Anaheim Convention Center and Disneyland during the timeframe of
AD2012.

The AD2012 Planning Committee is looking forward to hosting
you at a successful event here in beautiful Southern California!
