Academy included 14 MMA alumni, two
of whom were also MMA professors. HRST, Inc.
hosted its academy at the Harborside Hotel and
Spa in Bar Harbor, ME. A total of 65 participants
from many different areas and power producers
attended the 3-day course designed to educate
them in various aspects of HRSG operations,
maintenance and design. HRST system engineers,
Craig Dube '97 and Jordan Bartol '10, lectured
on topics such as HRSG gas-side components,
inspection techniques and economizers.
The HRSG Academy also included kayak
tours of Frenchman's Bay, bike tours of Acadia
National Park, and a huge lobster feed after
the outdoor activities. The HRST Maine office,
located in West Enfield, was extremely happy to
host this summer's academy and give everyone a
taste of some good ole' Maine hospitality, not to
mention a lot of delicious seafood and education
about the state. In case some alumni missed this
year's HRSG Academy, HRST offers it twice a
year across the United States and once a year
