Dear Valve friends and colleagues,
On behalf of the ValveWorld team, steering committee and
advisory group I am very pleased to invite you to join us at
the ValveWorld Conference in Maastricht, The Netherlands.
We began preparation for the conference determined to
create an event for everyone with an interest in valves and
flow control, be they a student or a seasoned professional.
We feel that the range of papers we have selected has
achieved this objective admirably.
The ValveWorld team, steering committee and advisory
group really had its work cut out, as we were tasked with
reviewing close on 100 abstract papers. My thanks to all the
contributors! Their efforts mean the conference has
interesting, informative and varied content. As you can see,
the advance programme contains four plenary lectures, 55
parallel presentations and six workshops. The session
topics will be standardization, modelling & design,
automated valves & safety, materials, maintenance, fugitive
emissions, fluid dynamics, reliability, sealing, procurement
and castings. With this improved program we now need an
audience to make the conference a successful event, so
please do sign up quickly and benefit from the attractive
“early bird” rates. You can find more information on the
registration form elsewhere in this publication.
I am also pleased to reveal a new feature at the year 2008
conference, namely a speakers' corner. This will give
attendees greater opportunity to meet with various
presenters. I'm also delighted that my friend and colleague
Barrie Kirkman will be giving a master-class on end-user
procurement practises and techniques.
But the conference is not just about the technical content.
Equally important is the opportunity to meet with your
peers, both end-users and suppliers, active in a whole
range of industries. An explicit timeslot has been built into
the program for visiting the Expo. I know how important
networking is to us all. In fact, I see approaching people,
being open and communicating with them as hugely
important in both my professional and personal life. Valve
World 2008 is an ideal platform to meet people, as it is a
very social event.
I am sure you will find this conference and exhibition a
rewarding blend of technical and social activities, in the
beautiful historic city of Maastricht, The Netherlands.
The ValveWorld team, steering committee, advisory group
and I look forward to meeting you at the Sixth Biennial
ValveWorld conference and exhibition, the 4th, 5th and 6th
of November 2008.
Cees Glansdorp,
Shell Global Solutions International B.V.
Chairman ValveWorld Conference.
Join us at Valve World
Maastricht - the place to be
TheValve World 2008 Conference & Expo will
be held in the MECC (Maastricht Expo and
Congress Centre) in Maastricht, in the South
of the Netherlands, close to where the borders of
the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany meet.
Maastricht is a city with a charming yet
international character and with a definite
Burgundian atmosphere. The city owes all this to its
rich history and its position on the crossroads of
different European cultures, languages and trade
routes. All these factors make Maastricht an ideal
meeting point for the “Euregion” and beyond. If you
would like to explore the city, Maastricht has an
excellent bus service. City buses run about every
five minutes between Maastricht city centre,
Maastricht Central Station, the conference hotels
and the MECC. During all conference days,
delegates have free access to Maastricht city buses
upon showing their delegate badges.
The MECC is a modern conference centre hosting
seminars, conferences, exhibitions and other events
of all shapes and sizes. All conference rooms are
located in the MECC Euro Centre, accessible
directly, and for delegates only, from the Expo Hall.
The name Euro Centre is a reference to the
Maastricht Treaty, signed in 1992, in which the
decision was made to introduce a single European
currency, the Euro.
For more information: www.mecc.nl
ValveWorld events offer plenty of opportunities to meet
and greet fellow materials specialists from across the
globe. TheWelcome Reception, the Conference, the
Exhibition and of course the Conference Dinner.
All conference delegates will have free access to the
ValveWorld 2008 Exhibition, which runs in parallel with
the conference. The technical and commercial staff of
almost 400 specialised companies from all over the
world will be pleased to give you an update on the
availability of their products. All conference breaks will
be in the Exhibition hall, enabling conference delegates
to visit the Exhibition during their break. If you would
like more information about the Exhibition, please

The Conference
“Speakers’ Corner”
at Valve World
Maastricht is an
exciting new venture
to share end user
experiences directly
with expo attendees
and exhibitors.
Though the
Conference has been
very well attended in
past years not all have the time to participate. Life
is too busy. So the idea is let's bring a little of the
conference into the expo!
Two hourly afternoon sessions will cover aspects
of valve procurement, technical issues, and
manufacturer and approval techniques. Different
subjects will be discussed on each day. If anyone
wishes a specific topic be addressed then please
contact me and I will do my very best to
accommodate it.
The format will be in a relaxed atmosphere.
Interaction with the listeners will be encouraged
and hopefully in the true spirit of “Speakers’
Corner” there will be those who volunteer their
comments and suggestions!
So here's to November when I hope to see you in
the main expo coffee area on Wednesday (5th)
and Thursday (6th) afternoons. Please come and
join in.
The Speakers’ Corner is run by BarrieKirkman.Barrie retired from BP after 33 years service in
2004. During this time he was technical and
procurement champion for valves responsible for
BP valve strategies, technical specifications,
vendor audits, developing approved manufactures
and implementing regional and global
agreements.
Barrie now provides an independent consultancy
service to the industry and has worked for Shell,
BP, BASF and Ineos. Barrie is familiar with a wide
spectrum of suppliers and manufacturing
methods.
Barrie is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer and a
fellow member of Valve World Magazine. He
writes regular articles on various aspects of the
industry and still visits many companies around
the world.

the CESTI (Centre
d'Études
Supérieur des Techniques Industrielles) in
1987.
He achieved a PhD in metallurgy in 1991 at
the CEA (Commissariat à l'Énergie
Atomique). The subject of the thesis was
"The numerical simulation of diffusion in
concentrated alloys at the atomic level".
He has been working at EDF/R&D since
1991. He was formerly interested in wear
and he has focused on valve technology
since 2000. Their main topics are :
qualification, maintenance, packing, hard-
facing alloys, testing on loops, FEM and
CFD analysis.
He has carried out numerical simulation of
several phenomena such as "Thermal-
Binding", and "Boiler effects"etc. He
always tries to compare experiments and
numerical simulation with the aim to build
analytical models.
He is a manager of the NICODEME 2
project whose aim is to provide EDF with
new ways to qualify valves in nuclear
plants. This will last four years and the
products will mainly be analytical tools
and simplified tests.
He hopes the Valve World Conference will
demonstrate that R&D tools are useful to
increase knowledge of valve designs and
performances.

Moderator: Cor Bahnerth
Thursday November 6,
2008 at 14:00
As a young
maintenance mechanic
he started at Shell
Refinery Pernis (SNR) in
The Netherlands in 1965
and he worked at Pernis
for about 8 years. In
1972 he was transferred from Pernis to Petro-
Chemical site of Shell Chemicals at Moerdijk (SNC).
In 1972 and early 1973 he was involved in the
mechanical completion of the Naphtha steam-
cracker at that location.
From 1974 till 1980 he followed, beside his daily
job, a mechanical engineering study. Till 1984 he
worked in several positions for the maintenance
department at Moerdijk and in the Spring of that
year he started to work for the mechanical
engineering & maintenance technology department
in particular at the Valve and Sealing section. In
1993 he became a job as Quality Co-ordinator in
which he was responsible for the ISO 9001-14001
certification of all maintenance departments of
SNC. Since December 1994 he is also a certified ISO
9001 Lead Assessor for third party quality
assessments (with a follow-up in 2001).
In 1998 till the end of 2007 he worked again as a
mechanical engineer for the SNC location Moerdijk
as well as SNC Pernis. In that period he adviced
also Shell Global Solutions in The Hague
concerning technical matters with regard to global
valve contracts. In November 2006 he was one of
the moderators of the Valve World workshop. In
August 2007 he retired from Shell Chemicals in The
Netherlands.
From January 2008 he works for his own company
Bahnerth Valve Consultancy BV as a Consultant for
valve and sealing technology, maintenance
technology and technical & quality management.
He is looking forward to Valve World 2008, in
particular to the Valve World workshop. In this
workshop he will show the attendees the
(undervalued) difference in behaviour between
Safety relief valves acting on Gas/Vapour or acting
on Liquid, especially if the overhaul or repair is not
carried out properly and/or carried out in
accordance with the appropriate manufacturer
standards.
He hopes and expects that attendees of the Valve
World 2008 master-class will afterwards
understand the differences in overhaul/repair and
testing of safety relief valves for gas/vapour service
or liquid service.
Valve World is again pleased to announce it will organise an entertaining Partner Programme forany family and friends who may be joining you at this year's ValveWorld event in Maastricht.
