(Alden) is bringing together global experts to train desalination and power plant engineers how to manage water intake debris concerns and air pollution control projects.<br /> <br /> /EINPresswire.com/ Dubai, United Arab Emirates June24, 2011— Alden is hosting two workshops to address training needs associated with growing local water and power development demand. The first workshop, to be held October 3-4, 2011, will be focused on helping engineers to understand how to evaluate the various water intake design and debris management options for new or existing plants and how to ensure proper performance and minimized maintenance. The second workshop, to be held October 4-5, 2011, will address the various choices of air pollution control equipment for oil- and gas-fired power plants that are required for meeting emissions standards.<br /> <br /> Jellyfish, algae, and other debris have been causing increasing maintenance concerns at water intakes in the Middle East. At the same time, there are escalating concerns over emissions on the Arabian Peninsula, though the choices over equipment selection can seem confusing and daunting. These converging demands have led to requests for the workshops.<br /> <br /> "Increasing interest from the Arabian Peninsula has encouraged us to pull together experts from around the globe to help train engineers who are addressing these issues," said Alden President Stuart Cain. "We're excited about bringing everyone together to facilitate rapid progress."<br /> <br /> Instructors will include speakers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Woods Hole Group Middle East, Global Water Intelligence, and Alden, among others.<br /> The workshops will be held at the Dubai Ritz Carlton.
