Power Plant Air Quality Decision Networking Opportunities
An integral part of Power Plant Air Quality Decisions is the networking activity. End user utilities are able to discuss their needs with suppliers, A/Es and other users. McIlvaine provides a weekly “Hot Topic Hour” combining phone and web plus activities at conferences. These 1 hour to 3 hour discussions are recorded and the full video/audio is available. Here are the available recorded sessions:
