BIAPWS SYMPOSIA

BIAPWS has organised regular symposia, since 1995, on topics associated with the properties of water and steam and their applications, particularly to the operation of power generation plant. A recent initiative has been to expand the symposia to include workshop sessions on specific technical topics. The most recent Power Plant Chemistry Workshop and Symposium was held on the 20th and 21st April 2010. The programme is included below for reference.

The next symposium is planned for Spring 2011, details to follow when available.
