Tuesday, January 19 & Wednesday, January 20 | 1:00PM – 4:30PM | 251D

Now in its 44th year, the Electric Utility & Cogeneration Chemistry Workshop (EUC2W) brings together leading experts and plant personnel to address the most pressing water/steam chemistry, cooling water, wastewater treatment and other environmental issues facing the power generation and industrial sectors. 

Nearly 5,000 chemists, engineers, consultants and plant administrators have attended the workshop since its inception in 1981. Co-located with POWERGEN, EUC2W offers a unique opportunity to learn, share and network alongside energy professionals tackling today’s operational and regulatory challenges. 

Please note: This co-located event is included for all-access badge holders. Exhibition badge holders must pay an additional registration fee to attend.
