European applied research conference on natural gas
dustrial laboratories and include descriptions of new processes and new catalysts. Natural Gas Conversion
~~rn~~siurn~
Oslo 1990
The last announcement af this meeting, to be held from 12th to 17th August in the Soria Moria conference Center, has just been received. Although this programme still does not include details of the papers to be presented, it lists the plenary lectures and gives details of hotel bookings as well as descriptions of the social programme, which, as with the meeting in Trondheim featured below, is very varied. The plenary lectures will be given by J,H. Lunsford (“The Catalytic Conversion of Methane to Higher Hydrocarbons”), V. Ponec (“Promoters and Supports, their Importance for the Selectivity in the Synthesis Gas Reactions”) and CD. Chang (“MTG Revisited”). In addition, there will be three parallel panel discussions on the last morning led by J.B. Moffat (“Mechanisms for Cl Conversioni’), L. Guczi ~~ataiyst Design”), and M. Bergougnon (“New Reactor Gonfigurations for Cl Reactions”). European Applied Conference

way, from 28th to 38th May. The programme will be divided into three parallel sessions with the following titles: “Liquid fuel systems and petrochemicals from natural gas” (with sub-sessions on syngas production and conversion, and direct methane conversion); “Natural gas in energy systems” (sub-sessions on environmental aspects, combustion te~hnoiogy and power production) and ~Produ~ion, storage, safety aspects and transportation of LNG”. All presentations will be made by invited speakers who include in the first of these sessions C.A.A. Higman (Lurgi), A. Holme~id (Elkem A/S), I-. Kolbeinsen (SINTEF), R. Hansen (SINTEF), P.R. Courty (IFP) E, Rytter (Statoil), O.T. Onsager (NTH), J. Gauthier-Lafaye and R. Perron (Ahone-Poulenc), G. Hill (Davy-McKee), F.M. Dautzenberg (~atalyt~~a), C.G. Peacock and G.C.M. Pyke (Chem Systems Int.), M.Y. Shana’a (Taitaba lnt.), C. Busson (IFP) and R.V. Serauskas (GRI). Trondheim has been chosen as venue because of the on-going No~egian state-sponsored programme on the util~sation of natural gas, because of the international interest in R&D related to natural gas at the Norwegian Institute of Technology, the proximity of SINTEF, Scandinavia’s largest technological contract research organisation~ and because the N#~egian Petroleum Society’s natural gas group is based in Trondheim. A full social programme is planned, including both sight-seeing tours and visits to places of interest, including the Karsto Gas Terminal.
