“This was my first time sponsoring the FMA Summit and have to say everything about this conference from the quality of attendees to the venue was first class. The quality of conversations were really good in that FMA set us up with customers who had already expressed an interest in us. The attendees were all high level decision makers. Very impressed and will be back!”

The program: facility leaders come to hear how other facilities fixed it.
The program is built from projects facilities actually finished, presented by the facility and the company that did the work. Every backup power category has room for more. If you've solved a problem like these, your story belongs on this program.

UPS & transfer switchesInvited
Parkview Regional Medical Center, Indiana ties 8 MW of generators to 32 bypass-isolation transfer switches
A 10-section ASCO 7000 Series power control system and 32 bypass-isolation automatic transfer switches bring three 2 MW generators online in an outage; by 2020 the ASCO equipment connected 8 MW of generator capacity with room for more (as reported by ASCO Power Technologies)
The problem: The 300-plus-bed hospital needed reliable backup power for life-safety and critical loads, and room to expand it without disrupting care.

Service & fuelInvited
Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Pennsylvania keeps 30,000 gallons of generator diesel clean with automated fuel polishing
Two AXI International FPS-LX-F automated fuel polishing systems, one in each generator enclosure, each servicing a 13,000-gallon belly tank, with 30,000 gallons of fuel on hand in the storage tank; before the permanent systems, the mobile polishers would still remove 200 gallons of sludge from the fuel tank even though samples always passed; no cost figures published (as reported by Health Facilities Management, September 2017)
The problem: Annual fuel samples always passed the lab tests, yet each visit by a mobile fuel polishing service still pulled sludge out of the generator tanks, and the hospital must run mandatory 30-minute burn tests and 90-minute to four-hour load bank tests on its emergency generators.
