Intertek AIM (Asset Integrity Management), a Student Offering Sponsor for IPEIA 2026, will be presenting and exhibiting during the 2026 International Pressure Equipment Integrity Association (IPEIA) Conference, March 10 – 12 at the TELUC Convention Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. 

Tom Burnett, Intertek AIM Power Generation Technical Director, will present technical paper ABST-0812 – Condensate Management Concerns of the Combined Cycle Generating Plant with Dead Leg Design on Wednesday, March 11th, from 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM in GLEN 203/204 Presentation Room B.

This presentation focuses on an area of operations and conditions in high energy piping systems that are not instrumented to properly provide plant operators’ warnings of excessive condensate conditions during startups and adding additional units. This may cause substantial damage to steam piping and the steam turbine.
