Message from the Chairman
chairman Flow Control ExhangeConference Chairman Mr. Euthymios J. Euthymiou, Petrobras

As the Chairman of the inaugural edition of the Flow Control Exchange Conference & Exhibition, it is my honor to invite you to join us in Rio de Janeiro in March 2015.

The event will bring together a community of users and suppliers of steels and valve technology from around the globe. Furthermore, it will promote the exchange of technical knowledge and personal experiences, which surely help surpassing business and technological constraints.

More than never, traditional values as initial performance and acquisition cost are being supplemented with total cost of ownership, HSE and risk management, among other ones. Merging these values in a globally competitive market has increased the opportunities to implement innovative materials, technologies and methods.

The seminar will also outline the communication channels available to assist companies in the registration process.

Managing Aging Plants deals with the critical topic that many of the industrial plants currently in operation in Europe are about to reach, or have already surpassed, the life expectancy specified when they were designed and built.

However, far from becoming redundant and dismantled, these plants remain very productive and are important to the profitability and success of our western economies.
