Roundtable Lifetime Achievement Award Winners
Back
Starting in 2009, the Round Table Lifetime Achievement Award has been presented at each of Reinhold's PCUG Conferences to one vendor and one utility person who over their lifetime have made special contributions to coal-fired pollution control equipment technology. In addition to strong technical knowledge in certain aspects of air, wastewater or CCR pollution, their most important qualifications include willingness to openly share problems and solutions to the coal-fired generation community and to support the PCUG Conferences.
To date 53 individuals have received the award representing over 1200 years of technical experience. In an era where tribal knowledge is being lost at an alarming rate, these winners represent the best of the best. Congratulations to each of them!
