Welcome to Toronto
IEEE/IAS/PCIC 2011
On behalf of the 2011 Local Conference Committee I invite you
to the 58th annual PCIC technical conference. Toronto is one of
the most cosmopolitan cities in the world; a place where
international ideas intersect with Canadian culture. A centre of
rare openness, warmth, energy and style, Toronto is enriched by
the fusion of traditions, passions and perspectives on life of the
more than 100 cultures found here.
Located in the heart of downtown, the Sheraton Centre Toronto is
our newly renovated conference hotel. Within walking distance to
the Theatre District, Museums and Shopping, downtown Toronto
has an attraction for everyone. Beyond the city limits breathtaking
attractions await you, Niagara Falls, Niagara on the Lake and a
renowned wine region
all within a short drive.
We are planning to take advantage of Toronto and Niagara area attractions for entertaining and memorable
Guest/Spouse programs. Daily tours and excursions will be arranged to begin each day after breakfast and end by
mid-afternoon, allowing free time for shopping, personal site seeing, or relaxing at the hotel. Convenient and
affordable travel packages to Toronto are available from anywhere in the world. As you prepare for your visit to
Toronto, consider learning more about our wonderful city: www.SeeTorontoNow.com.
So many volunteers work to make each conference a solid learning
opportunity, and each local conference committee is committed to organize a
venue where all can comfortably initiate and advance relationships so
important to conducting business in global electrical communities. We're
confident that the 2011 PCIC Technical Conference in Toronto will be
another highly successful event.
We look forward to hosting you in 2011 in Toronto!

Guest Information
Guests of our attendees are a special part of the PCIC Conferences. The local
committee takes great care to help make their time at the conference as pleasant and
entertaining as possible by offering a variety of activities for them to participate in
while the attendees attend the daily sessions. And guests are welcome at the
numerous evening social functions and hospitality suites at the conference. PCIC
allows attendees to register one guest at no additional charge. A guest is defined as
a spouse/significant other, friend or child that is not involved in a petrochemical
industry related occupation. Co-workers or associates that are involved in any
related industries may not be registered as a guest.
Many PCIC social activity hosts offer alcoholic beverages to attendees and their guests. While the PCIC is not promoted as a
family event, students or children of attendees/guests are occasionally present. The PCIC does not restrict admittance to
social events based on age. It is the responsibility of the hosts to ensure there is no contravention of local liquor laws.
The Guest Hospitality Suite is open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday and
8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Monday through Wednesday. Guests can drop by for
refreshments, meet other guests, get local information or even plan an outing. The
Guest Hospitality Suite is located in the Churchill Room on the second floor of the
Sheraton Centre.
Guest Tours are offered by the local
committee on Saturday and Monday through Wednesday of the conference. The
tours allow the guest to experience and explore the local areas of interest see page
33 for more details. Check-in for all tours will be the Churchill Foyer on the
second floor of the hotel. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the departure time for
your tour. (Note: Due to registration timing, no name tags are necessary for the
Saturday tour but should be with you at all other tours) All buses will leave from
the Sheraton Centre.
Complimentary Guest Breakfasts; Registered Guests are welcome to join their
partners at the main conference breakfasts. A light continental breakfast will be
served in the guest hospitality suite at the times posted.

ABOUT THE IEEE PCIC CONFERENCE
Unlike many industry events, the IEEE PCIC conference is a technical conference, not a trade show. It brings together
professionals with a common focus on electrical installations and safety and provides an opportunity to exchange ideas and
learn the latest information on a wide range of topics. The conference papers and tutorials are presented by some of the
brightest minds in the petrochemical industry and great care is taken to ensure there is no commercialism in the information
provided.
Many PCIC members participate in the writing of industry standards and prior to the official start of the conference many
working groups meet to work on standards for the API and IEEE. These are open to all conference registrants to attend and
perhaps join to enhance, modify or develop the standards that drive this industry.
Major end users, engineering firms and manufacturers hold technical meetings before or after the conference. While these
meetings are typically closed to outsiders, their key personnel would be attending the conference and there is ample
opportunity to meet them to discuss topics of mutual interest.
Vendors are an integral part of PCIC. They support the technical and professional goals of the conference, as well as
authoring papers, sponsoring meals and breaks and hosting after hours hospitality events. Vendor participation is encouraged
and welcomed and they adhere to strict PCIC rules of etiquette.
Conference attendees work hard during the day, but there is also plenty of time for a little fun when the papers and meetings
end for the day. Numerous social events at the conference take place in the evening and, if you re up to it, some can last late
into the night. The events in the PCIC hospitality calendar are open to all registered conference attendees and guests at no
extra charge. Strict adherence to local liquor laws is required by conference attendees and their guests.
Some of the major events include;
The Sunday Social and Tailgate Parties are held the day before the conference begins. These two long running events
welcome attendees and their guest with fun, food and plenty of laughter. This is a time to relax, socialize and get ready
for a busy few days ahead.
The Monday Night Social, sponsored by the local committee, is PCIC s premier social event. Wander about in a
bustling, yet relaxed atmosphere, savor local foods and refreshments, while you meet old friends and make new ones.
The Social lasts, an all too brief, hour and a half then its time to carry on to some of the other social activities. The
Monday Night Social will be held in Grand Centre Ballroom from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The Big Parties. A number of vendors host major hospitality events in the evenings. There s often dancing to live
music, games of chance played with funny money perhaps to bid on prizes, magic and always lots and lots of fun.
Food and refreshments are served and a good time is had by all.
Vendor Hospitality Suites are open after the conference sessions. The number of suites varies starting on Saturday to
Wednesday evening, but there s always food and refreshments, plenty of lively conversations and lots of opportunities to
have a bit of fun. Wander from suite to suite and maybe even see some of the latest innovations they have to offer.
The PCIC Executive and Local committees take great pride in providing a high quality and educational conference while
keeping the registration and participation costs low. There is no better value for those involved in the electrical field in the
petrochemical industry than the IEEE PCIC Annual Conference.
NOTE: Nametags and lanyards are provided for attendees and their guests in the registration package. This identifies you as
a conference participant as oppose to the general public. Please wear your nametags when attending any PCIC breakfasts,
meetings, luncheons, social functions or hospitality suites. Anyone not wearing an official nametag may be asked to leave.

Professional Development Hours (PDH) and Continuing Education Units (CEU)
Many professional engineering organizations require continued learning to stay current with changing technology,
procedures, practices, standards, and equipment. Most jurisdictions use Professional Development Hours (PDHs) and
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to measure and log training and education. Currently, thirty states require Professional
Development Hours to maintain P.E. licensure, encouraging engineers to seek CEUs for their participation in Continuing
Education programs. CEUs readily translate into PDHs (1CEU=10 PDHs).
Evidence of participation in the PCIC Conference, standards activities, and/or tutorials may meet part or all of your
organizations requirements for ongoing training and education. The PDH and CEU certification processes are managed
separately completely independent of each other within PCIC.
Professional Development Hours (PDH)
PCIC has a process for attendees to log and receive a PDH certificate for attendance at conference papers, participation in
standards activities, authoring and presenting papers, performing technical paper reviews, and technical leadership. Many
organizations accept PDH hours as evidence of continued education. It is to the responsibility of the attendee to determine
what conference activities meet their organizations educational requirements.
PCIC charges attendees a $15 fee for processing a PDH certificate. When an attendee registers for a PDH certificate, a form
for logging your participation at events during the conference will be included with your registration packet. Instructions are
provided on the form for submitting the completed worksheet form. At the end of the conference submit form to PCIC for
processing and a PDH certificate will be issued detailing the activities logged on your worksheet including, any time that
logged for participating in tutorials
Continuing Education Units (CEU)
CEU s are nationally recognized uniform units. IEEE is an Authorized Provider of CEUs through The International
Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET), and has adopted IACET guidelines and criteria for all its
continuing professional development programs.
PCIC provides an opportunity for attendees to earn CEU s for participation in tutorials. These units are based on documented
participation, competency testing and are issued through IEEE. CEU s can only be offered for participation in tutorials, as
testing is a requirement of the CEU process.
PCIC charges attendees a $25 fee to process a CEU certificate through IEEE. This fee covers the CEU processing costs for
all tutorials attended. A CEU certificate will be provided for each tutorial attended.
IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING PDUs AND CEUs:
1.
Pre-registration is mandatory to obtain these certificates. Please check the appropriate box on the registration form
to receive the appropriate documentation with your registration package.
2.
All PDH and CEU documentation and/or certificates will be emailed after the conference.
3.
PDH and CEU credits are optional and no action is required if these are not required
4.
CEU certificates are issued for participation in tutorials only. IACET requirements do not permit CEU certificates to
be issued for time spent attending papers, standards, technical meetings, or for presenting papers.

IEEE Standards
The PCIC Standards Subcommittee coordinates the activities of 38 IEEE Standards. Each has established a Working Group
to meet, discuss and make the technical decisions necessary to form and maintain the standard. Many of these Standards
Working Groups arrange their meeting schedule around the PCIC, either a couple of days before or after the annual
conference.
The key to any standard is the quality and commitment of its members. Technical knowledge or expertise is just a part of
what constitutes a good member. Consistent participation, the ability to listen, to discuss, and understand, along with a
willingness to accept the ideas of others are just as important.
The PCIC provides you with an excellent opportunity to get involved with IEEE Standards development. You are welcome
to attend as a guest or better yet, join a Working Group as a member to influence the outcome of the next revision of a
standard or even work on the development of a new one.
The individual meetings are listed in the detailed schedule starting on page 17. All of the Working Group meetings are open.
