About Us
Users Unite.
In 1993, a handful of combined-cycle and cogeneration plant managers gathered to discuss the technical challenges they faced with their heat-recovery steam generators. That meeting led to the formation of the HRSG User's Group, a professional association that helps power plant owners and operators obtain cost-effective service from their equipment.Today, the HRSG User's Group boasts:
- A global presence with over 1,500 members in 50 countries,
- A benchmark publication on the design, operation, and maintenance of HRSGs, plus
- An annual Conference & Expo that ties together the theoretical fundamentals of steam generation with the practical, hands-on insights needed at the plant-level
Open to all.
In contrast to many combined-cycle user forums that ban suppliers, ALL activities of the HRSG User's Group are open to ALL industry participants—including manufacturers, EPC contractors, water-treatment suppliers, engineering consultants, insurance carriers, and so on. In fact, we welcome these professionals and recognize them as a positive force in our Group, because they can provide key technical knowledge, a healthy diversity of opinion, and the resources to help solve virtually any plant operation technical challenge that arises. In other words, ours is not an exclusive club, it's an inclusive one!You can become a member of the HRSG User's Group simply by attending one of our conferences. There are no bureaucratic application procedures and—best of all—no membership dues!
