AGT 2013 to feature instrumentation, control and automation zone

The Australian Gas Technology Conference & Exhibition (AGT) 2013 will feature an instrumentation, control and automation zone for the first time as part of a collaboration with the Institution of Instrumentation, Control and Automation (IICA).

This year’s exhibition will also include a series of free seminars hosted by IICA.

The new exhibition zone will play host to IICA members and leading suppliers of instrumentation, process control and automation products, services and technology, such as Australian Dynamic Technologies, I&E Systems, Metso, Pressure and Safety Systems and Samson Controls.

“With more than $200 billion worth of LNG projects planned or already in construction in Australia, the LNG sector represents a huge opportunity for our members,” said Ernst Krauss, IICA WA Branch Chairman.

“The Instrumentation, Control & Automation Zone will give our exhibitors the chance to connect with thousands of senior project and procurement managers from leading LNG operators, EPC contractors and suppliers, discuss upcoming projects and explore new opportunities to tender.”

Western Australia’s only gas technology event will also present a series of free seminars on 2 July exploring new developments, issues and case studies in process control, instrumentation and automation, with speakers from industry leaders including Invensys Operations Management, I&E Systems, Clough Amec, Apex Optimisation and Sage Automation.

Hosted by IICA, the seminars will look at how advanced process control improves gas plant profitability and delve into topics such as asset management of electrical, control, safety and communication systems, turbine functional safety management, and control system upgrades in the oil and gas industry.
