The courses are of interest to engineers, scientists, managers and other technical personnel involved in air and gas filtration and solid-liquid separation in the process and related industries, including in building services engineering and swimming pool and spa applications. They will find the course informative, regardless of whether they design, purchase, research or use filtration and separation equipment. Plant engineers, technicians and operators will find the course materials directly applicable, and graduate students will value the expert introduction to the technologies. |
MARCH 12 — AIR AND GAS FILTRATION
This training course reviews air and gas filtration processes, with emphasis on practical aspects, and presents theoretical information only when it is necessary to better understand the practical applications of filtration. It will draw upon the presenters' in-depth knowledge of industrial applications and extensive R&D experience.
Scope:
- Introduction to air filtration
- Filtration processes
- Principles & mechanisms
- Air filtration testing
- Filter media & cartridge design

MARCH 13 — INDUSTRIAL SOLID-LIQUID SEPARATION
This training course is a review of the processes involved in the separation of solids from liquids, which emphasises practical aspects and presents appropriate theoretical information. It covers applied technical aspects of solid-liquid separation, the selection of separators and filters, and commercial considerations when selling or buying solid-liquid separation equipment. The course is a review of the processes involved in the separation of solids from liquids. It will draw upon the presenters in depth knowledge of industrial applications and extensive R&D experience, and the emphasis will be on practical aspects with theoretical information presented only where needed to support understanding of the applications.
Scope:
- Practical aspects of the basics of sedimentation and filtration
- Measurement of applicable filtration data
- Filter media & Membrane filters
- Centrifugal separators
- Pressure and vacuum filters
- Selection, analysis and simulation of SLS equipment

Dr Iyad Al Attar
(iyadalattar@ yahoo.com)
An international consultant in air filtration, his PhD and Master degrees involved conducting research on advanced air filtration technologies with special emphasis on the physical and chemical characterization of atmospheric and synthetic dust and the air filter performance operating in sand storm climate conditions. Dr Al-Attar is a mechanical engineer, a graduate from the University of Toronto, Kuwait University and Loughborough University where he received his Doctorate in filtration. In 2008, the journal Filtration, which is the official journal of The Filtration Society and the American Filtration and Separations Society, appointed Dr Al-Attar as an international member of the Editorial Board from Kuwait. |
