MTI’s Ash Behavior Workshop

Microbeam Technologies is excited to present a one-day overview training course on

“Ash Behavior in Combustion and Gasification Systems”.

Ash behavior impacts slagging, fouling, and other fireside issues. This workshop is tailored to equip participants with essential knowledge on the behavior of ash-related materials, focusing on ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of energy conversion systems.

Date: November 7, 2024

Training Location: This training will be conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams.

Registration Fee: $995

Please contact Roxanne Benson (rbenson@microbeam.com) to register for this workshop.

Target Audience:  The course targets engineering, technical and management personnel who are interested in obtaining a general overview, first insights and/or extending their knowledge on ash behavior in combustion and gasification systems.

Cancellation Policy: If you cancel your registration at least 10 days prior to the start date of the event, the full amount will be reimbursed (minus a handling fee of $50). After this deadline, no refunds will be given. If needed, the event registration can be changed to a substitute attendee. In this case, no cancellation fees or extra costs will be incurred.
