Building on the success of previous
years, a record number of delegates from seven different countries attended the
latest Filtration Society two-day technical meeting. Held at the Ramada Hotel
in Chester, UK in October, Filter Media 5 was the fifth international event
focused on filter media and combined a training session, conference and
exhibition.
Professor Richard Wakeman and Dr Steven
Tarleton, co-authors of ‘The Dictionary of Filtration and Separation‘,
presented a short course on the opening day. This introduced both seasoned
scientists and newcomers to the latest developments in filter media.
"In addition to the quality technical
content, one of the reasons for the popularity of the training course is that
it is very time efficient, taking delegates away from the office or
laboratory for just one day," said Dr Graham Rideal, science correspondent and
former chairman of The Filtration Society, and CEO of Whitehouse Scientific.
The main conference featured
presentations from EP Minerals, Outotec, Colbond bv, Filtration Solutions,
Porex Filtration, GKD - Geb, Palas GmbH and Whitehouse Scientific and covered a
wide range of novel filter media and performance testing methods.
Abstracts are available on The Filtration Society website
www.filtsoc.org.uk
with a complete bound set of notes offered for purchase.
The second day of Filter Media 5 also
featured the very popular ‘Technology Burst' from the exhibitors: G Bopp,
Croft Services, Helapet, Palas GmbH, Ralph G Wilson, TSI, and Whitehouse
Scientific. Most companies delivered a 10-minute poster of their products,
which was very well received.
"After the resounding success of Filter
Media 5 we are now looking forward to the 2012 meetings," said Dr Rideal. "The
current schedule includes a range of filtration related conferences culminating
in the main event of the year: Filter Testing and Characterisation in October.
Such is the interest in this topic that the event will now be over 3 days and
will be open to anyone involved in the subject"
Founded in London in 1964, the
Filtration Society is a charitable organisation and throughout its tenure has
forged equally strong links with industry and academia. Its primary objectives
are to promote research and development, transfer existing technologies into
new applications, and to advance the fields of filtration and separation.
