The MEGA Symposium returns in 2018 with a focus on industry responses to new operational and environmental challenges for power plants as well as policy and regulatory perspectives affecting future operations.
Preliminary program (updated 7/12)
Building on the 20-year history as the power plant industry’s leading technical conference for SOx, NOx, particulate and mercury control, the 2018 conference will include policy discussions, sessions on emission challenges for gas-fired plants, and content designed for international power plant owners facing new regulations.
The twelfth MEGA Symposium has been restructured to provide added value to seasoned professionals in the US and internationally and to provide an excellent learning experience for early career engineers. Attendees will benefit from insights into policy trends and receive the latest developments and operational experience to reliably manage compliance with air quality, solid waste, and discharge water quality requirements for fossil-fired power plants while adapting to increasingly variable operational demands. Recognizing the maturity of control technologies for criteria pollutants and the advanced development status of mercury and air toxics (MATS)-specific controls, the 2018 MEGA will emphasize approaches and technologies to support cycling operations while balancing emission constraints at the stack and effluent discharges, and byproduct quality.
The 2018 MEGA Symposium will provide a forum for sharing approaches, successes, and challenges complying with current and pending environmental regulations with today’s energy dispatch demands. Here's who should attend:
- Power producer managers, engineers, and plant operators in the US and global locations
- Environmental researchers, managers, and engineers
- Early career industry professionals
- Control equipment, chemical, measurements, and technology suppliers
- Consulting engineers
- Government agency managers and staff
The 2018 MEGA Symposium is brought to you through the combined efforts of four key industry players.

Institute of Clean Air Companies (ICAC)
For nearly 60 years, the Institute of Clean Air Companies (ICAC) has been the trusted voice of the clean air technology industry. ICAC is a trade association of companies that supply air pollution control and monitoring systems, equipment, and services for stationary sources around the world. ICAC provides members with unique opportunities to sharpen market awareness and enhance business planning through valuable engagement with market influencers and policy-makers. We believe that improved air quality and industrial growth best occur when achievable cost-effective policies are paired with innovative technologies.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)
The mission of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is to protect human health and the environment.
EPA’s purpose is to ensure that:
- all Americans are protected from significant risks to human health and the environment where they live, learn and work.
- national efforts to reduce environmental risk are based on the best available scientific information.
- federal laws protecting human health and the environment are enforced fairly and effectively.
- environmental protection is an integral consideration in U.S. policies concerning natural resources, human health, economic growth, energy, transportation, agriculture, industry, and international trade, and these factors are similarly considered in establishing environmental policy.
- all parts of society—communities, individuals, business, state and local governments, tribal governments—have access to accurate information sufficient to effectively participate in managing human health and environmental risks.
- environmental protection contributes to making our communities and ecosystems diverse, sustainable and economically productive.
- the United States plays a leadership role in working with other nations to protect the global environment.
