The society is holding a one day workshop on Wet Filtration at the UMIST Conference Centre, Manchester, UK on Thursday 6 November. It is aimed specifically at users/operators of filtration equipment for solid-liquid separation in the Chemical and Process Industries. The workshop will cover many general aspects such as: a basic introduction to filtration theory; a brief look at methods of particle size measurement; the effect of particle shape, orientation and concentration on the formation of a filter cake; methods of improving filter rates; the use of precoat and bodyaid for improving filtrate clarity and overall filterability; a review of filtration equipment used for solid-liquid separation; and methods for monitoring filter performance. Part of the meeting will include the presentation of a number of case studies for an open and informal discussion. If you have a filtration problem to discuss or wish to present a case study on your system during the meeting then please contact the organizer, Dr Andrew Walker on +44 1625 616109. The meeting is aimed at being an open forum with interaction and participation from the attendees. Theory will be kept to a minimum. For further details contact Andrew Walker, Tel: +44 7625 676709. Fax: f44 1625 434678; or contact the Secretariat in Horsham.
