Filtration Society celebrates success

Organisers are celebrating the success of the most recent Filtration Society Conference, held in Chester on 28 October 2008.

Around 80 international visitors attended the one-day Filter Testing and Standards conference, which was sponsored by Whitehouse Scientific and supported by a full-to-capacity trade exhibition.

It examined the latest developments in filter testing and characterisation and their relation to quality standards.

Dr Graham Rideal, who heads the organising committee, is delighted that the conference is becoming an increasingly important networking opportunity for anyone involved in filtration.

The presentations give useful, practical information and the format of the event allows plenty of opportunity to exchange views with colleagues in the industry,' he said.

Another popular feature of the day was the poster session in which delegates received a five-minute burst of information on a wide range of filter testing techniques.

Further one-day events scheduled for 2009 include: regulatory issues in environmental control; reducing the carbon footprint of filtration; and recent developments in filter media.
