More
than twenty years ago the first edition of this standard was
published in response to the rapid technological development and the
growing importance of condensers in plant construction. Now that the
standard has been tried and tested in many respects over the last
few decades and the economic viability of a plant continues to be
heavily influenced by the operation of its condensation system, it
has been decided to maintain and update the standard. A fundamental
revision was not necessary.

Review:
VGB Conference Maintenance in Power Plants 2018
The
VGB Conference took place in Bonn on 28 February and 1 March 2018.
The Conference was attended by 218 participants and 38
exhibitors.
The
following main topics were represented: current general
requirements, quality assurance as well as techniques, experiences
and damages.
In
addition, the conference was accompanied by two panel discussions:
Industry 4.0 in maintenance – sense or nonsense? and Perspectives
for maintenance personnel in the power industry.
Announcement
VGB
decided to hold the usually bi-annual Conference "Maintenance in
Power Plants" in the year 2019 to balance its event portfolio.
The
Call for Papers (Call to submit suggestions for lectures) will be
distributed after the planning is completed. Interested parties are
welcome to contact us already now.
