The Nordic Filtration Society
is a Chapter of the Filtration Society and it was founded in Gothenburg on
August 1,
The basic objective for the Nordic Chapter is to arrange Nordic Filtration
Symposia and thus to offer a forum where to discuss "Nordic"
solid/fluid separation problems, to establish a Nordic filtration information
network and to stimulate contacts between Nordic industries, research
institutes and universities.
Like the Filtration Society itself (formed in
Industrial gas cleaning
Water purification
Vacuum and pressure filtration
Filter media
Membrane filtration
Settlers
Cyclones
Centrifuges
Scrubbers
The Filtration Society arranges seminars, symposia, and conferences and
informs on all kinds of continuing development work. If you want to join the Filtration
Society and the Nordic Filtration Society, you will have a cost effective way
of keeping up to date with the developments in separation technology. As a
further benefit you will receive the outstanding journal “Filtration” incorporating
the transactions with refereed scientific papers. Application forms and other
details can be found on the homepage of the Filtration Society Please mark that you would like to belong to
the Nordic Chapter of the Filtration Society, NoFS.

A
Short résumé of the 11th Nordic Filtration Symposium, Copenhagen
In the heart of Copenhagen
and at the waterfront of the harbour The Danish Society of Engineers hosted the
11th Nordic Filtration Conference August 25-26. Professor Gunnar Jonsson,
chairman of the organising committee, greeted the 80 participants gathered for
an interesting meeting. In the
scientific programme 27 papers were presented divided into three sessions – “Filtration
and separation”, “Membrane filtration” and “New developments in membrane
separation”. As pointed out by J Koskela there is still a substantial interest
in cake filtration especially in the mineral industry but increasing in bio
fuel and environmental areas. R&D in improved equipment design (capacity
and automation) and filter media (e.g. ceramic) is encouraged. Some papers improved
our knowledge of filtration of compressible organic solids. The main theme was
membrane filtration including both UF (e.g. operating parameters, dynamic and
high temperature) and nano. Particularly the wide range of applications was
noted – mineral, pulp&paper, bio fuel, birch sap
and dairy and not to forget a membrane filtered cold beer. More details
regarding the symposium please contact Prof G Jonsson
(GJ@kt.dtu.dk).
The Nordic Filtration
Society AM decided to have their next 12th
Nordic Filtration Symposium in Gothenburg, Sweden in August 2009.

Welcome
to the 12th Nordic Filtration Symposium August 26-27, 2009
The Symposium will be organised by the Nordic
Filtration Society. It follows the 1st symposium in Gothenburg
(1995), the 2nd in Lappeenranta (1996), the 3rd in Lyngby
(1997), the 4th in Stavanger (1998), the 5th in
Gothenburg and the 6th in Lappeenranta (2000). The 7th
symposium was arranged in Copenhagen on August 27-28, 2001. In 2002 NOFS took
part in arranging the first European Conference on Filtration and Separation in
Gothenburg together with the Filtration Society. The 9th symposium was
arranged together with CST in Lappeenranta in 2005. The 10th
symposium was arranged in Trondheim in 2006 and the 11th symposium
in Copenhagen in 2008.

Scientific programme of the
Filtration Symposium:
· Filtration and Separation
· Membrane Bioreactors
· Membrane Separation
· Gas Filtration and Separation
· Industrial and municipal Water
Management
· Filter Media
Keyword
lectures will be given by Dr R Wakeman
on "A Systematic Approach to Selection of
Solid/Liquid Separation Equipment" and by Prof. G Jonsson on using membrane techniques with aspects on energy
and environment.
Papers are invited for the Symposium and especially
welcome is a contribution that points out solutions to how separation
techniques can improve energy and environmental issues in the industry and the
community and how to choose the best separation method for that purpose. The
programme will consist of invited 45 minutes keynote lectures and oral 20 + 5
minutes presentations. Further is planned to arrange a poster presentation.
Venue:
The conference will be held at Chalmers
University of Technology in central Gothenburg.
