The Plant Operations Committee was formed by combining the Plant Generation Operations and Industrial Operations groups of the Power Division, ASME. With ongoing changes in the industry, it became apparent that many concerns/interests relating to energy conversion were common to both entities. By merging the two groups, a greater amount of information is made available to our membership.
This group shall function as a Technical Committee of the Power Division to advance the art and sciences related to the operation of energy conversion, industrial, and institutional facilities. To fulfill this purpose, the Committee will:
- Include members with interest and who are actively involved with concepts, engineering design, installation or operation of equipment, systems or facilities utilized in Plant Operations.
- Provide a forum that will benefit all professions having a bound interest in improving the safety, availability, capacity, efficiency, maintenance, operations, and environmental impact of their plants.
- Provide for technology transfer through the dissemination of information via publication, technical seminars, presentations, and an open exchange of information between members.
- Identify "operating best practices" for all types of energy conversion facilities, including industrial, institutional central utility and commercial power plants.
- Encourage, promote, and coordinate the sharing of operations-related information that will improve the effectiveness of the workforce, equipment, and plant systems.
