Within the Botlek Study Group, Richard Holtkamp of Ankersmid Process BV, as of January 1, 2017, took over as a coordinator for the branch instrumentation. Bram Luiten of Multi Instruments has reached retirement age and transferred the stick to Richard Holtkamp.The organization of the Botlek Study Group now consists of Dick van Beest (Gain Automation), Aldert Schollaardt (Endress and Hauser) and Richard Holtkamp.
Because experience shows that a three-point coordinator is very pleased to organize all meetings and to guarantee a good program, this is a welcome addition. During the forthcoming meetings of the Botlek Study Group there will be ample opportunity to get acquainted with Richard Holtkamp. For submissions of presentations of instrumentation subjects that may be of interest to the Study Group, please ask them at botlekstudiegroep@gain.nl, after which Richard Holtkamp will approach you to discuss them.
The Botlek Study Group is a group of measurement and control engineers employed by (industrial) end users, engineering firms, installers, system integrators and equipment and systems suppliers. The group was founded in 1968 and is still a success.
The purpose of the group is to increase the knowledge of its members through lectures. For six nights a year, various topics of instrumentation and automation technology are discussed, along with various related aspects such as design, assembly and laws and regulations. It is important that the lectures have a strong relationship with practical experience.
