K. C. Cotton's Steam Turbine Performance Improvement Seminar
For Fossil and Nuclear Power Engineers
Presented by Sam Gibson, P. E.
Formerly presented and originated by Ken C. Cotton, and based on his book Evaluating and Improving Steam Turbine Performance, this continually updated seminar is a four and a half-day study of the topics listed in the accompanying outline. This seminar is now presented by Sam Gibson, Principal Engineer and Founding Partner of Performance Engineering, LLC. Mr. Gibson works actively on power plant projects worldwide. The knowledge gained from this hands-on experience is reflected in his presentation style and content and is unsurpassed by other seminars on the subject of steam turbine performance. The Encotech Steam Turbine Seminar offers an open-floor atmosphere allowing attendees to bring forth questions to problems they may be currently experiencing, and in most cases, walking away with the answers they have been looking for.
