BHR Group's 18th International Water Jetting Conference is now open for registration.

BHR Group's 18th International Water Jetting Conference is now open for registration.

Water jetting technology has matured during the last three decades yet continues to find new applications in diverse industries as users take advantage of developments and improved equipment capabilities to introduce innovative solutions to their production, maintenance, medical, environmental and decommissioning problems.

Industries as disparate as medicine, petrochemicals, food processing, automotive and aerospace engineering, and construction have developed applications for jetting which are only possible because of its ability to cut and shape accurately many hard-to-machine materials without the force or heat associated with traditional tools.

Jetting technology is also helping solve environmental problems through innovative techniques for cleaning and recycling and enabling the safe and economical decommissioning of nuclear facilities and military hardware.

BHR Group's 18th International Conference on Jetting Technology builds on the success of previous events to fulfil demand for authoritative information about best practice and new techniques.

It extends the sequence of highly successful biennial events that was established in 1972 and continues to draw together the world's leading specialists.

Registration is now open for this prestigious event which will be held in Gdansk, Poland, from 13th to 15th September 2006.

Focusing on applications, developments and technologies, the scope of the conference has evolved since 1972 to reflect the technology's maturity and range of industries adopting jetting.

It remains the premier international event on the subject and provides the ideal forum to present and discuss industrial applications of water jetting, the latest in research and development, and emerging issues and challenges for suppliers and users.

It is also an excellent opportunity for technology transfer between industries that have developed and seek solutions to their problems.

The conference will provide practical insight into the latest developments of water jetting and present information about innovative research and theory, examples of real-life projects and application case studies.

Separate sessions will cover key themes and application areas: manufacturing; equipment; mining and rock; applications; machining; surface preparation; and modelling.

The programme includes a visit to a machining company situated in Bytow, 90km west of Gdansk, on the evening of Tuesday 12th September.

The organisers are arranging a water jetting demonstration at Gdansk shipyards on the afternoon of Friday 15th September.

The conference is aimed at those who need to know what jetting can offer.

It is particularly relevant to those who devise or use jetting across a broad range of aerospace, engineering, manufacturing, precision machining, process, food, medical, nuclear, military, construction, contracting, petrochemical, mining and excavation, stone and marble, research and government disciplines.

Sponsors of the conference include VLN Advanced Technologies, KMT Waterjet Systems, Kennametal - Boride Abrasive Flow Products, Unconventional HydroJetting Technology Centre, Instytut Maszyn Przeplywowych, Bohler Hochdrucktechnik, and the Water Jetting Association.
