Industrial Application of Gas Turbines Committee

A Symposium and Conference is held every two years.

• the next Symposium is scheduled for October 2009 in Banff Alberta

The Symposium combines informative technical papers and presentations on the critical issues for industrial gas turbine operations – both power generation and oil and gas applications. The Symposium also includes the Seminar Series for staff responsible for maintenance and operations of gas turbines. 

Symposium presentations include:

• new gas turbine engines, technologies, and new cycles
• best maintenance practices
• applications of new technologies and field experience
• emissions technologies and regulations

The next gas turbine Seminar Series includes sessions on:

• Fuels, Combustion, and Emissions
• Cogeneration, Gasification, and Combined Cycles
• Reliability and Applications in the Oil and Gas Industry

The Symposium draws an international audience while providing a forum for issues of special concern for the Canadian gas turbine operating environment.

The Industrial Application of Gas Turbines (IAGT) Committee, formed in 1973 under the sponsorship of the National Research Council of Canada, is a Technical Advisory Group to Canadian industry and government. The group provides a forum for the exchange and dissemination of ideas and the communication of new developments related to the industrial application of gas turbines in Canada.
