Download event brochure

Discuss the latest technologies and share valuable experiences around the design, operation and maintenance of fluid machinery across multiple industries.

Overview

Manufacturers and engineers face growing challenges as technology develops. Ever more stringent limits on emissions are driving changes in industry operating practices, while new emerging applications such as shale gas and coal bed methane impose demands for operation under high pressures and temperatures.

The 13th European Fluid Machinery Congress will return to The Hague, The Netherlands in order to focus on the latest developments in fluid machinery in the Netherlands The congress will provide attendees with a forum to share valuable experiences with senior professionals and sector leaders from across different sectors of the fluid machinery industry, including water, oil and gas and nuclear.

Whether you are involved in design, operation or maintenance, the European Fluid Machinery Congress is a fantastic opportunity to learn from other fluid machinery projects in various stages of implementation and enhance your organisation’s current and future projects.

Presentation highlights at this year's congress include:

Perspectives on Technical Evaluation of Centrifugal Compressor Bids for Oil and Gas Projects - Technip
Gas Compressor Re-Rate and Process Solutions Through Engineering and Collaborations - Weir Group
Aero-Acoustic Analysis Of A Low-Pressure Centrifugal Compressor Stage - TNO
Regulatory Compliance - A Working Guide for Engineers and Fluid Machinery Manufacturers - JFD
