In this second webinar in the series “Custom Catalyst Commercialization” we will show how the involvement of BASF R&D can enhance either the current custom catalyst or lead to greatly improved second generation products, while maintaining the Intellectual Property (IP) protection that is critical to the custom catalyst relationship.

This webinar builds on information presented previously on development scenarios, scale-up and manufacturing processes, catalyst and process knowledge and expertise, as well as confidentiality and Intellectual Property (IP) protection. 

The webinar will conclude with a live question and answer session with BASF scientists and experts

• What the value of heat rate is to your business, and how heat rate correlates to return on investment.
• The key causes of feedwater heater inefficiency and subsequent effects on overall plant performance.
• How effective feedwater heater level control can maximize energy transfer and manage controllable losses and fuel cost acceleration.

• Understanding Heat Rate
• The Cost of Heat Rate Deviation
• Feedwater Heaters’ Role in the Basic Power Cycle
• Monitoring Performance of Feedwater Heaters
• Feedwater Heater Level Control and the Impact of Instrument-Induced Errors
• Controlling Energy Loss Through Level Optimization

• Engineering Managers
• Efficiency Managers
• Operations Managers
• Maintenance Managers
• I&C/E&I Supervisors

³ The presentation is built on pop-upless technology; however, the presenter may choose to use pop-up windows. In these cases, pop-up blocking software must be disabled for the presentation to work correctly. In many cases, holding down the "CTRL" key while opening the Webcast URL will temporarily disable your pop-up blocking software. Please consult the documentation for your pop-up blocking software to determine the correct way to temporarily disable it. 



⁴ In addition to having a properly installed Adobe Flash Player your pc must permit rtmp (over port 1935) and / or rtmpt (over port 80) live streaming protocols. Please contact your local IT Administrator if you are unsure of your settings. 



⁵ High speed Cable / Fiber / DSL. Typical connection speeds can vary from 100Kbps – 1Mbps+. Please check with your local ISP for bandwidth allotment. 



⁶ Corporate LAN. Bandwith on corporate LANs can vary based on network traffic. Typical connection speeds can vary from 100Kbps – 1Mbps+. Please check with your local ISP for bandwidth allotment. 

What support is available for users on Macintosh and Unix/Linux-Based operating systems?
This presentation incorporates advanced multimedia features that allow elements such as slides, polling questions, surveys, and application demonstrations to be dynamically sent to the audience synchronized with the presentation. Mac and Linux audiences may view the presentation using a supported Firefox Web browser and Adobe Flash player. Please note that some presentations may not feature a Flash option. 



Why can’t I hear audio?

• If you have internal speakers, make sure they aren’t muted.
• If you have external speakers, make sure they are powered on and aren’t muted.
• Make sure you did not lose Internet connectivity.
• Make sure you have the media player installed that you are attempting to use and the plugin is correctly installed within the browser.
• If you are using Windows Media Player and the player simply stops and/or gives you a generic "error" message, you may be missing an audio codec required to decode the presentation audio. Click here for the Microsoft Codec Installation Package. 
  Alternatively, you can download the latest player here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/
• If you are using Adobe Flash Player and are having connection issues please refer to the section labeled "Why do I get a "connection failed" or "connection blocked" message when I try to view Adobe Flash streams?"

What is a pop-up blocker and how do I disable it?


Pop-up blockers are software programs that stop unsolicited "pop-up" browser windows from launching automatically. These windows often feature advertisements that can be an annoyance to users trying to browse the Internet, however some features of the Webcast may make use of pop-up windows to deliver key functionality. Depending on the software progam you have installed you may be able to add the Web site URL to a list of permissible Web sites where pop-up windows are allowed. 



It is common to have one or more pop-up blockers that you may be unaware of. Most pop-up blockers reside either in the system tray (lower right hand corner of your screen by the clock) or as a toolbar in Internet Explorer (at the top of your browser, go to "View" and then "Toolbars"). These can be disabled in their options or preferences menus. (Common toolbars such as Google and Yahoo Companion have built in pop up blockers). 



Also, if you are unaware of any other pop-up blockers that are running on your computer, you may want to see if you have personal firewall software running, such as Norton’s Internet Security or ZoneAlarm. If you have either of these, they will also block pop-up windows.
