Sponsored by the Critical Utilities Community of Practice.
How can you best maintain and upgrade existing systems and optimize new water, steam, and process gas systems in the midst of changing risk environments, risk expectations, documentation requirements, and cost reduction challenges? The challenge is universal whether it is for existing or new critical utility systems. Water and steam are very expensive and important critical utilities necessary to all manufacturers. Attend this seminar to hear best practices from the proposed revision of the ISPE Baseline® Guide: Water and Steam Systems, and review real time case studies. Solicited from ISPE Members and peer-reviewed, the case studies offer attendees the best solutions from the field. For information on submitting case studies to be considered for presentation, visit www.ISPE.org/COP and download the Call for Proposals in the Critical Utility COP section.

Continuing Education Units
ISPE will provide continuing education units (ISPE CEUs) for all North American seminars and courses, including educational programming at the ISPE Annual Meeting. CEUs are nationally recognized units of achievement designed for those individuals continuing their education in their chosen field or profession.
Delegates attending European seminars and courses will receive a Certificate of Attendance, as ISPE CEUs are currently not offered at European events. Verification of CEUs is based on attendance as well as satisfactory completion of all evaluation materials. Statements of credit will be sent via email within four weeks of evaluation materials. One hour of education programming equals 0.1 ISPE CEU credits.
