Piers Clark, commercial director at Thames Water, and Simon Radford, municipal technical sales manager with Siemens, will explain how a partnership between their organisations has developed novel packaged plant, already successfully installed for two high-profile projects in central London. They will provide details of the technologies and processes, as well as costs and ROI projections. Delegates will also learn about related and alternative technologies being implemented for water recycling and rainwater harvesting and the challenges facing industry now and in the immediate future, due not only to changing weather patterns, but also Section 106, which signals an end to current water and waste-water practices. Speakers: Piers Clark, Commercial Director, Thames Water Simon Radford, Municipal Technical Sales Manager, Siemens

[W14] The future of sustainable materials with both eyes open

There is a tendency for industrialists to characterise sustainability as only about energy efficiency but there are much broader resource issues. Dr Julian Allwood, leader of the WellMet2050 research group at the University of Cambridge and a radical thinker on materials efficiency, will explain that the Kyoto Protocol can only be met if we fundamentally change the way we make, use and re-use commodities, including steel and aluminium. He will also provide an insight into a higher level treatment of sustainability than either an energy or materials treatment illustrating how latest research is concerned with modelling the interplay of multiple and complex resource systems. Such tools might soon inform political and economic decisions that shape our future world, as we wrestle with achieving a 50% reduction in CO2 by 2050. Speakers: Julian Allwood, Low Carbon and Materials Processing Research Group, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge

[W22] Developing operational efficiency with intelligent finance

Manufacturing industry has transformed operational efficiency over the last 20 years, with lean initiatives, supply chain globalisation and technical innovations. So attention is now turning to financial efficiency for example, cutting escalating energy costs, using smarter ways of affording energy efficiency investments. Yet, at a time when capital is difficult to access, thats easier said than done: however compelling the business case for investing in energy efficiency or production capability, capital budgets are being squeezed. Meanwhile, management strategists are urging that funds frozen in technology assets be released to finance acquisitions and marketing opportunities. With advances in technology accelerating and shortening upgrade cycles making nonsense of traditional write down periods, engineering and financial brains are working together to challenge the status quo. David Martin, general manger, Siemens Financial Services, will provide a strategic overview of the developing operational efficiencies through intelligent asset finance. Simon Corbett, head of sales for Siemens Financial Services, will detail Siemens efficient finance solutions, designed to spread the cost of solutions from multiple vendors including periodic upgrades, and service and maintenance costs. Robin Phillips, director of finance at Siemens Industry, will reveal the secrets of Congletons invest-to-save achievements. And Paul Barwell, business development manager, Siemens Financial Services, will present case studies from across industry, demonstrating that energy-efficient technologies can be paid for through cost savings, making them low- or zerocost even cash positive. Speakers: David Martin, General Manger, Siemens Financial Services Simon Corbett, Head of Sales, Siemens Commercial Finance UK

[W23] Minimising the business risk of fire and the impact of false alarms on critical production infrastructure
Statistics show that 70% of organisations go out of business within three years of having a major fire. But the business risk associated with fire is not only limited to the damage caused by smoke and flames. Industrial environments can also be hard hit by false fire alarms a production line not only loses money while it is down, but can take days to re-start, as the entire area may need safety checks and sanitising before production can recommence. This seminar, hosted by experts from the fire industry and led by Don Scott, a member of the Fire Industry Association, will reveal salutary business case studies, and assess the impact of false alarms on productivity and profit. Delegates will also learn how recent government legislation could see companies fined for repeated false fire alarms. Speakers: Don Scott, B.Eng.(Hon), DEM(Hon), I.Eng. MIET, MIFireE, MSFPE, Fire Industry Association (FIA) + TBC Chief Fire Officers Association (CFOA)

After netting a Green Hero award and several ISO environmental standard accreditations, Brown reveals how the firm did it. b) The global operator FTSE 100 listed Croda Healthcare aims to cut energy use by 4% each year at its flagship site at Rawcliffe Bridge in Yorkshire. Simon Shubrook the man charged with making the savings discusses the tools hell employ to do so, from water reclamation units and an onsite wind turbine to nearmiss reports for workers who forget to turn off the lights. Speakers: Richard Brown, Operations Director, Hi Tech Mouldings Simon Shubrook, Infrastructure and Facilities Engineer, Croda Healthcare Mark Burrows, Energy Solutions Specialist, Siemens Industry Sector

[W33] Complete drive train management: a best practice approach to serious energy, cost and carbon reduction
Motor-driven systems account for around two thirds of the electrical energy consumed by industry, and are the largest single consumers of electrical energy overall. Yet, while most users have long since embarked on energy efficiency programmes, the vast majority have largely ignored motor systems, which still burn energy by running continuously at full speed. Even where systems have seen investment, very few have adopted a systematic approach, which would multiply energy and cost savings. Steve Barker, head of Siemens energy efficiency and environmental care programme in the UK, will set the scene for holistic drivetrain management. He will: define the relative importance of motors, mechanical drives and electronic variable speed drives; highlight common mistakes; and reveal the role of drivetrain management as part of a systematic approach to energy management, working within BS EN 16001. Steve Brambley, deputy director of GAMBICA, will then examine the range of strategies for controlling motor-driven systems, across a range of applications and control technologies. He will: compare product efficiency and system efficiency; cover the principles of electric motor control, with examples of load types and characteristics (variable torque, constant torque etc); and explain control options (fixed speed, variable speed, soft starts, PLC, feedback loops etc). Delegates will learn about the technical and commercial benefits of drivetrain management with a systematic approach, and the technologies and strategies proven to offer maximum benefits. Speakers: Steve Barker, Head of Energy Efficiency & Environmental Care, Siemens Industry Sector Steve Brambley, Deputy Director, GAMBICA

[W34] Advanced diagnostics: how to improve operational efficiency, OEE and plant availability using rich diagnostics embedded in automation solutions

Intermittent power generation from renewables; the rise of micro-generation; and a growing electric vehicle charging infrastructure: all will drive demand on the national grid and potentially impact industrial users. This seminar will examine the latest technologies in large-scale energy storage effectively warehousing and time-shifting energy produced when its not required aimed at providing for cost-effective energy security not only for tomorrows low carbon grid, but also to protect heavy-duty industrial users. Gareth Brett, CEO of Highview Power Storage and a veteran of the power sector, will explain how the worlds first large-scale liquid air energy storage pilot plant is proving its potential to secure and flex low-carbon, lowcost generation and to defer or even avoid upgrades in distribution networks, by using assets at average load. Delegates will learn how the technology, which has no geological constraints and can be scaled to 100s of MWs, can also convert low-grade waste heat into power. They will also see that, by using mature process and automation technologies from large OEMs, project validation is faster and lower risk than with most other technologies. Speakers: Gareth Brett, Chief Executive Officer, Highview Steve Leech, Product Manager PCS7, Siemens

[T22] Implementing an effective energy and cost reduction programme

While most companies have started engagement with energy efficiency programmes, experience from over 2,500 site audits reveals that only a tiny proportion of organisations are fully exploiting the dramatic cost reduction opportunities available. Delegates will learn: why most programmes fail to deliver their full potential; how to implement an effective energy management system; the top 10 energy management technologies; and the most common mistakes. The panel, comprising Siemens energy solutions specialists, will also cover everything you need to know about: compliance with regulatory and legislative requirements; the importance of rigorous verification, and communication and employee engagement; and how energy efficiency solutions can be financed. Speakers: Steve Barker, Head of Energy Efficiency & Environmental Care, Siemens Industry Sector Luke Dale, Energy Solutions Specialist, Siemens Industry Sector Dale Blundell, Energy Solutions Consultant, Siemens Industry Sector Darren Garbett, Energy Efficiency Consultant for the Built Environment, Siemens Low & Medium Voltage Mark Burrows, Energy Solutions Specialist, Siemens Industry Sector 10

[T24] How to cut plant and factory opex through a holistic approach to plant maintenance
Successful manufacturing companies are increasingly aligning their maintenance strategies with plant performance and business profitability rather than continuing to consider maintenance simply as a cost of doing business. Delegates will learn how effective maintenance strategies reduce unplanned downtime, improve OEE (operational equipment efficiency) and cut the maintenance opex budget if appropriate investment and engineering skills can be repurposed. Easier said than done? Graeme Coyne, business development manager with Siemens Customer Services division, will explain that, at a time when finance for new projects is lacking and the skills shortage shows little sign of abating, Siemens recently created Customer Services division can help. His emphasis is on cutting plant and factory opex through a holistic approach to plant protection, condition monitoring and preventive maintenance, building on best practices experience across industry sectors and Siemens divisions operating throughout the manufacturing, energy, healthcare and buildings industries. The goal is 24/7 engineering support, designed to help improve plant availability and increase productivity through continuous improvement. Speakers: Graeme Coyne, Siemens, Customer Services Division

[T31] So how efficient do you think your plant is? Siemens Congleton sets the standard now, and reveals whats next
Most manufacturers have embraced, or attempted to embrace, Lean thinking in some way. Much of Lean is about cultural and behavioural change, which is fundamental in moving an organisation to a more efficient state. However, for many organisations their continuous improvement journey plateaus, and they miss the elusive next steps that might have made them truly world class. In this seminar, delegates will hear from Finbarr Dowling, managing director of Siemens Motion Control, about the long and intensive cultural journey Siemens award-winning Congleton plant has been taking to get where it is today. Having revealed his secrets of success and some of the pitfalls to avoid, he will also emphasise that the journey is never over and that, although an exemplary site, Siemens Congletons next major step will be building in world class data management. Handing over the baton to Dave Kelly, head of operational efficiency for Siemens in Manchester, delegates will then learn about digital factory technologies, and how they can continue the transformation beyond Lean cultural change, helping manufacturing businesses to achieve world class status. Speakers: Finbarr Dowling, Managing Director, Siemens Motion Control Dave Kelly, Head of Operational Efficiency, Siemens

[T33] Are distributed energy and energy efficiency the squeezed middle of the power debate?
In its 2011 Electricity Market Reform (EMR) White Paper, the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) set out ambitious proposals for how the UK can meet the dual challenge of building new generating capacity, whilst ensuring continued energy security and decarbonisation. The document revealed Government plans for a future energy mix made up of three components: gas generation with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), new nuclear and large-scale renewable energy. However, there was limited mention of the part that distributed energy or energy efficiency will play in this mix. Anecdotal and research evidence suggests numerous problems with a centralized approach to energy, along with a greater potential for energy efficiency to play a prominent role in how we plan for the future. Following two Carbon Connect research programmes on these issues the latest carried out jointly with Imperial College London this seminar will explore how, by promoting greater roll-out of energy efficiency measures and localising energy generation, the UK can create a far more resilient and resource efficient system. With the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) having recently set up both an Energy Efficiency Deployment Office and Industry Working Group for Distributed Energy, these areas are under greater scrutiny than ever, and decisions now are likely to have lasting impact on the way UK businesses view energy delivery and reduction. Our expert panel brings to the table a myriad of perspectives and interests on the agenda, and will address the question of whether our energy future is in need of a radical rethink. Speakers: Kevin Tutton, UK Divisional Lead, Smart Grid Division, Siemens Vilhelm Oberg, Head of Sustainability, Policy Connect, Carbon Connect

[T32] Remote access can be secure

IT security is an issue for any industrial organisations, but all the more so when the organisation concerned involves critical infrastructure. Delegates will hear from Stuart Mann, asset policy engineer with National Grid UK, about the national electricity utilitys approaches to solving the online security problem. He will examine key challenges of establishing safe and efficient remote access, taking into account real world problems, such as scalability, connecting systems of different ages, technologies and methods of access, while also minimising costs and timeframes, in terms of installing additional physical media. Delegates will also witness how easily their network systems might be infiltrated - with Siemens IT security expert Carsten Lener demonstrating live hacking and explaining exactly what it takes to eliminate the threat. The focus throughout this presentation is on protecting industrial and commercial plans, factories and businesses against threats that range from commercial espionage to wanton damage of physical and process assets. Speakers: Stuart Mann, Asset Policy Engineer, National Grid UK Carsten Lener, IT security expert, Siemens

[T34] Fit for purpose joining the race for advanced automation
If the UK is once again to compete on a global manufacturing stage, advanced automation technology will have to play a critical part. Currently, UK investment in plant and equipment lags behind that of other western countries, notably Germany, leading experts to suggest that industries here have to be bolder around making long-term plant and technology investments that will stand them in good stead for future competitiveness. Siemens Brian Holliday will explain how and why advanced automation technologies are key to ensuring that UK industry can collectively deliver on the requirement to improve the link between successful innovation and domestic manufacturing. Delegates will learn, for example, how automation systems are central to enabling mass customisation, through flexible, automated manufacturing capabilities. They will see that strategic investment in automation technology will improve productivity at both existing and new plants encouraging domestic and foreign-owned companies to view the UK as the right manufacturing location for higher-value, customised goods. Speakers: Brian Holliday, Divisional Director, Siemens Industry Automation

[T42] Turning energy recycling to your advantage: lessons from award-winning plants at opposite ends of the spectrum

[T44] Advanced control solutions: from petrol and pills, to powder and poo
Advanced process control (APC) is virtually a commodity technology in industries such as oil, gas and petrochemical. And while this isnt quite the case in other industries, APC is seeing greater uptake as rising energy costs and the punishing price of capital expansion projects drive a laser focus on maximising asset performance. In this seminar, David Lovett, managing director of Perceptive Engineering, will explain how operational improvement projects are increasingly turning to APC to maximise ROCE (return on capital employed) by delivering robust, flexible and economically tuned asset performance. He will cite case studies from the pharmaceutical, food and waste water sectors, revealing benefits in terms of increased yield and throughput (typically 5-10%), energy savings, reduced process variability and tighter control of quality and critical process parameters. Delegates will learn how model-based predictive control systems are built to predict process behaviour and determine optimal control moves that will bear down on process variability. They will be shown the link between driving quality variables closer to specification and direct business benefit. Additionally, through case studies, they will understand how robustness can be achieved by augmenting APC with multivariate statistical monitors, capable of detecting abnormal events. Finally, they will hear how Siemens dedicated Value Services is bringing APC to a range of industry sectors, as part of the drive for operational efficiency.
