Geothermal Resources Council announces honors for the best geothermal presentations showcased at the GRC Annual Meeting

(Davis, Calif.) The Geothermal Resources Council (GRC) has announced the outstanding presentations from the global geothermal community for 2011. The GRC has made these available on the GRC Website.


The judging was made in each of the technical sessions held at the GRC 2011 Annual Meeting in San Diego, the world's largest geothermal event, last fall. The judging criteria included the quality of the visual aids as well as the ability to communicate the subject matter.

Over 230 presentations were made in 53 sessions covering 15 tracks. The GRC 2011 Annual Meeting attendees came from 32 different countries around the world highlighting the global interest in the geothermal industry.

The GRC has made almost all of the visual aids from over 230 technical presentations available on its Website at www.geothermal.org and is showcasing the 53 outstanding presentations at www.geothermal.org/powerpoint11_best.html.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production

In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
