March 5, 2012 - PRLog -- WALDWICK, NJ—March 5, 2012—Global suppliers offering products or services to help Chile and the rest of Latin America surmount energy production and distribution challenges will be showcasing their capabilities at Latin America’s Official International Conference and Exhibition for Electrical Energy Solutions, IFT ENERGY 2012.  The event will be held 9-11 May at Espacio Riesco in Santiago, Chile.  The goal is long-term clean, sustainable, affordable electrical power immediately and for the future.

Held under the auspices of the Chilean Ministry of Energy, along with the support of more than 25 other international government and trade associations, IFT ENERGY 2012 is organized by global management company Kallman Worldwide.

Energy industry experts and policy officials from throughout all of South and Central America and the Caribbean, as well as many parts of the world, are expected to participate in the event. The conference includes more than 90 different presentations over the three days, including the Chilean Ministry of Renewable Energy’s Sixth Annual Renovables (“Renewables”) Conference.

Tom Kallman, President and CEO of Kallman Worldwide, said: “We are honored to have been invited by Minister Alvarez himself to create and manage IFT ENERGY 2012 in response to the electrical energy challenges that Chile and the rest of Latin America face. We are confident that the enthusiasm, cooperation and innovation already evident will be indicative of an event that will be the gateway to a secure energy future for this vital region.”


Exhibiting companies will be displaying an array of products, services and technologies. Examples include:

TAS Energy® (Houston, TX) will be available to discuss its award-winning Beowave Geothermal Flash Plant, which implemented the first commercial use of a low-temperature bottoming cycle at a geothermal power plant with an inlet temperature of less than 300°F.  The plant utilizes R134a working fluid, a non-flammable, non-toxic and non-corrosive fluid resulting in a safe, environmentally friendly and cost-efficient product.  Overall, the technology can potentially add 10% additional power, resulting in a significant increase in efficiency over existing binary geothermal power plants.  The technology won the 2012 Excellence in Renewable Energy Award for Geothermal Project of the Year at the Renewable Energy World conference from among 400 nominations.
