Leading Edge Pollution Control Technology; The American Filtration and Separations Society to Host Special Topical Conference on Separation and Filtration Processes for the Power Generation Industry.MINNEAPOLIS -- The American Filtration and Separations Society has designed a conference for industry experts presenting on the latest technology in Separation and Filtration Processes for the Power Generation Industry. This conference is being held at the Radisson Hotel Pittsburgh Green Tree in Pittsburgh, PA. The dates for the conference are October 17-18, with short courses being held on October 16. Discover the newest efficient, cost-effective power generation processes that are critical to both the public and private sectors. Meet the technology experts that are researching novel filtration and separation technologies. This is a valuable opportunity for utility managers, operators, engineers, scientists, government officials, consultants and filtration/separation industry experts. Don't be left behind. The U.S. Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), independent agency of the U.S. government, with headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1970 to reduce and control air and water pollution, noise pollution, and radiation and to ensure the safe handling and , National Science Foundation and many private enterprises have invested tremendous research efforts toward environmental and efficiency standards that effect the power industry. This conference provides strategies for clean power for a sustainable future. Topics of special interest include: Integrated Gasification gas·i·fy tr. & intr.v. gas·i·fied, gas·i·fy·ing, gas·i·fies To convert into or become gas. gas , High Temperature Flue Gas Flue gas is gas that exits to the atmosphere via a flue, which is a pipe or channel for conveying exhaust gases from a fireplace, oven, furnace, boiler or steam generator. Quite often, it refers to the combustion exhaust gas produced at power plants. Conditioning, Clean Coal Technology, Avoiding CO2 Emissions, Fuel Processing, Membrane-Based Separations, Water Reuse and Treatment, Hg Removal, Electrostatic Stationary electrical charges in which no current flows. For example, laser printers and copier machines place a positive charge of the image on a drum, and negatively charged toner is attracted onto the drum. The toner is then transferred to positively charged paper and fused to the paper by heat. Precipitation precipitation, in chemistry precipitation, in chemistry, a process in which a solid is separated from a suspension, sol, or solution. In a suspension such as sand in water the solid spontaneously precipitates (settles out) on standing. and Standardization standardization In industry, the development and application of standards that make it possible to manufacture a large volume of interchangeable parts. Standardization may focus on engineering standards, such as properties of materials, fits and tolerances, and drafting Society Test Methods.

About the American Filtration & Separations Society(AFS A distributed file system for large, widely dispersed Unix and Windows networks from Transarc Corporation, now part of IBM. It is noted for its ease of administration and expandability and stems from Carnegie-Mellon's Andrew File System. AFS - Andrew File System ) AFS is a nonprofit association organized for the benefit of educating and networking filtration and separation industry professionals. AFS holds an annual conference each spring and a topical conference each fall. Industry professionals from around the world present technical papers on leading technical advances in the filtration and separation industry. AFS also presents specialized short courses on topics of interest in filtration and separation. These short courses are also offered for on-site presentations. |
