“Quotation, n: The act of repeating erroneously the words of another.” -- Ambrose Bierce (American Writer, Journalist and Editor, 1842-1914)
Although I’ve said so before, it bears repeating that this blog is not just about desulfurization ... it is about effective online research on ANY technology of interest. So, for example, if you want to identify upcoming conferences that pertain in some way to desulfurization, you can Google® the following ...
Conference desulfurization 2012
Browsing the results, you may find …

Pre-conference workshop A: Sunday 19 February 2012
10:00 - 16:00 Workshop A: Heavy oil upgrading and desulfurization
Environmental considerations, including the reduction of sulfur emissions, are growing factors that affect refining efficiencies. When processing heavy oil, refineries and petrochemical plants are implementing new technologies, such as residue desulfurization, to produce cleaner, environmentally friendly fuels and to partly convert the residues to produce low-sulfur fuel oil and hydrotreated feedstocks.
By attending this workshop you will :
Learn necessary methods for reducing sulfur to ppm levels during the production of lighter fuel to save costs and minimise environmental harm
Gain knowledge about the latest technologies in heavy oil upgrading
Reduce the challenges of minimising sulfur gas emissions in refineries
Evaluate all major environmental factors to mitigate energy wastage and increase ROI

As interesting as the above may be, today’s tip is that you can use the same strategy to search for upcoming conferences on ANY technology. Take “geothermal,” for example. Substituting “geothermal” for “desulfurization,” one of the items in the results is …
