Valcor Engineering’s Nuclear Group recently exhibited at the AUG/MUG Annual Conference this year located in Austin, Texas. From January 12-16, engineers, operators, and technical experts met to discuss the latest developments and operating experiences in the industry.

The Air Operated Valve Users Group (AUG) focuses on the development and exchange of information concerning the performance, design, testing, and maintenance of air-operated valves, compressed air systems, and fluid leak management programs. The AUG portion of the conference is geared toward improving efficiency, equipment reliability, and safety in industries such as power generation, chemical, oil & gas, naval, and other industrial process control applications.

The Motor Operated Valve Users Group (MUG) is made up of nuclear utility representatives, with the purpose of exchanging technical information relating to the testing and maintenance of motor-operated valves among the utilities and in coordination with other organizations within the nuclear industry for the increased reliability and safety of nuclear power.
