Houston prepares for ILTA
The 27th International Liquid Terminals Association (ILTA) Operating Conference and Trade Show will take place in Houston, Texas from 11-13th June 2007.
Over 220 companies exhibit at the show each year, providing the terminal industry with information about the latest technologies around, while the simultaneously run conference provides insider knowledge on the industry’s hottest issues.
With all the hype surrounding biofuels within the terminal industry, ILTA has added a new track this year, on renewable fuels. This set of presentations will examine the rapidly expanding market, and will examine storage, handling and blending strategies. The featured speaker for the event is a partner in a law firm, who is also discussing the investment boom in downstream assets and renewable fuels. The talk will address the prospects for the continued flow of fresh capital into the biofuels industry.
A range of other issues will also be covered at the event, such as the operation of floating roofs, environmental health and safety, industry updates and management issues. A series of other workshops will also tackle tank air emissions and safe tank entry.
The list of exhibitors for the trade show is almost as impressive as those at Europe’s StocExpo in March.
From automation to vapour control, and from aluminium roofs to vents and valves, the whole range of technology used in the tank storage sector will be showcased.
