SHORT COURSES
One day prior to FLTECH 2009 on Monday October 12, 2009 two 1-Day Short Courses will be held. Short Course I features "The Solid/Liquid Separation Process", Short Course II "Dust Separation". Both courses will be presented by internationally renowned experts. The Short Course language is English.

     
SHORT COURSE I - SOLID/LIQUID SEPARATION   SHORT COURSE II - DUST SEPARATION
The course is of interest to engineers, scientists, managers and other technical personnel involved in solid-liquid separation in the process and other industries. They will find the course informative, regardless of whether they design, purchase, research or use filtration and separation equipment. Plant engineers, technicians and operators should find the course materials directly applicable, and graduate research students will value the expert introduction to the technologies. It is a comprehensive review of the processes involved in the separation of solids from liquids, which will emphasise practical aspects and present appropriate theoretical information as necessary.   The course is of interest to engineers, technicians, scientists, managers, and other personnel involved in gas-solid separation in the process and other industries. They will find the course informative, regardless of whether they design, purchase, research, or use dust separation equipment for product recovery, emission control, or process gas cleaning. It is a comprehensive review of the processes involved in the separation of solid or liquid particles from gases, which will emphasise practical aspects and present appropriate theoretical information as necessary.

Professor Richard Wakeman is a consultant chemical engineer with many years experience of working with industry internationally. He also holds professorships at Loughborough (UK), Pardubice (Czech Republic) and Chun Yuan (Taiwan) Universities and is a Visiting Fellow at Mumbai University (India). He is the Honorary Secretary of The Filtration Society and a Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers and the Royal Academy of Engineering.

Dr. Steve Tarleton is a mechanical engineer and a Senior Lecturer at Loughborough University, and has been Secretary of the EFCE Working Party on Filtration and Separation.

The presenters are internationally recognised experts who have both been Chairmen of The Filtration Society. They have co-authored several books and over 400 technical articles. They are the principals of Filtration Solutions, the publisher of the FILTRATION journal, Filter Design Software, and The Dictionary of Filtration and Separation. Their work has been published widely and recognised by awards from the Institution of Chemical Engineers, The Filtration Society, and the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers.
  Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Eberhard Schmidt is Professor of Safety Technology / Environmental Protection at Wuppertal University. His academic degrees he earned 1991 and 1998 at Karlsruhe University. From 1993 to 1994 he was affiliated with the Joint Research Centre in Ispra/Italy. In the years 1998 and 1999 he was with Degussa company in the department of process engineering / particle technology.

He is Co-Chairman of the FILTECH Conference and Scientific Secretary of 10th World Filtration Congress and has published more than 100 technical papers, books, patents etc. and consulted and lectured throughout the world.
