The American Filtration and Separations Society (AFS) is offering eight short courses to kick off its 21st Annual Conference on May 19 to 22 in Valley Forge, Pa. Two of these courses are Basics of Liquid Filtration and Basics of Gas/Air Filtration.
In the Basic Liquid Filtration Separation course, attendees will learn the overall spectrum of solid/liquid separation. They will gain a basic understanding of the principles behind liquid filtration so they can determine what type of filter will meet their requirements. There is an overview of the various competing technologies.
This course will cover particles and fluid properties, principles of liquid filtration, liquid filtration equipment, liquid filtration media, filter aids and liquid filter performance testing and standards.
In the Basic Gas/Air Filtration Separation course, attendees will learn the overall spectrum of solid/gas separation. They will gain a basic understanding of the principles behind gas filtration so they can determine what type of filter will meet their requirements. There is an overview of the various competing technologies.
This course will cover particle properties, principles of gas filtration, gas filter media, gas filtration equipment, gas filter design and gas filter performance testing and standards.
