On 30 November 2012 the DGTA Symposium, on the occasion of the farewell of Jos van Buijtenen, as TU Delft’s gas turbine professor, took place. Peter Bongaerts, Director at FME-CWM, inspired the audience with the subject “The earning capacity of the technological industry”, as did Ben Dankbaar, Professor at Radbout University, Nijmegen School of Management , addressing “Re industrialization and sustainability”. Jos van Buijtenen treated his audience to the past, present and future of gas turbine technology. A bright future is still ahead.
This summer, a workshop on the subject biofuel was organized by TU/e in Eindhoven. Several DGTA-members brainstormed about this subject leading to a summary and a proposal for a project. We will use coming weeks to research if there are more members interested to join this project. If you are, please see the proposal!

March 2012 a team of members added with some with some knowledge partners of the DGTA decided to write a short theoretical paper on the effects of the new gas composition on combustion dynamics. We took the last availible compostion rules as a startpoint. We did this to provide the projectteam new gas with a clear perspectiev of the problem. Jim Kok (Universiteit Twente) took the initiative to write down, and youc an dowload it here.
