Thank you for making Global Gas & LNG Summit 2011 a huge success

Encouraged and supported by our esteemed industry partners with the success of our past Africa Gas & LNG Summit 2010 (AFGAS), Neoedge rolled out another premier event – GLOBAL GAS & LNG SUMMIT 2011 which was held at Shangri-La Hotel Dubai from 07 to 10 March 2011.  Once again, we reaped the same success. Close to 70 delegates gathered together and they make up key decision makers from various backgrounds within the gas & LNG industry with representations from almost all continents. We had delegations from Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Oman, Qatar, Ghana, Nigeria, Turkey, Russia, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, Scotland, Austria, United States of America and of course the host country of United Arab Emirates. Pricing, demand and supply seem to be the main concern for almost everyone present especially with the current volatile political situation which is seeing the dramatic increase in oil prices per barrel. The best strategies, approaches, techniques and innovations in the market were discussed during the summit. Together with our panel of top notch experts and consultants, participants learned and benefited from the ideas and experiences of these practitioners and more importantly, they left on a high and positive note.

Here are some highlights at the event:

Comprehensive Industrial Extractive Metallurgical Workshops

 

Mining, mineral and metallurgical industries have seen tremendous growth all over the globe. Extraction of metals applying various technologies, including physical separation, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, electrometallurgy and new ones from a wide range of complex raw materials generates a variety of tailings, effluents, generally classified as - wastes - and by products. Use of by-products and processing of wastes are rapidly gaining importance both on environmental concerns as well as for economic benefits.

NEOEDGE is bringing to you another of our premier course “Comprehensive Industrial Extractive Metallurgical Workshops” to be held in 2 locations:

Choice 1: Jakarta, Indonesia from 06 to 10 June 2011;

Choice 2: Johannesburg, South Africa from 13 to 17 June 2011

Comprehensive Extractive Metallurgical Workshops brings together processes for the production of metals and minerals from their different sources. The current practices and future challenges in extractive metallurgy are presented, with strong emphasis on the technical aspects of current practices. Professor Fathi will summarise general principles and practices involved in metallurgical extraction that are essential to metallurgists.

He will cover thermodynamic arguments used for extractive process description and development, and mass transfer processes. Information on resources of metals, their occurrences, trends in their utilisation, and resources processing are also included. There is also comprehensive coverage of pyrometallurgy. From an environmental viewpoint, he will also consider energy utilisation, pollution and recycling relevant to the metallurgical field.

It will be led by world-renowned Extractive Metallurgy Expert, Prof. Fathi Habashi, Professor Emeritus of Extractive Metallurgy at Laval University in Quebec City and President of Métallurgie Extractive Québec.

Seats are limited! To secure your seats or for more information, call us today at +65 6557 9183 or email us at mailto:rilla.eas@neo-edge.com..
