Technical Program and Abstracts

TRACT I: Water Filtration and Separation

The American Filtration and Separation Society in conjunction with the Water Quality Association held its second joint conference on water filtration and separation at the Turf Valley Hotel in Ellicott City, MD on October 4-7, 2010. Water is the largest single application for filtration and separation worldwide. This tract continued the AFSS long history of addressing the most pressing issues in filtration and separation.

TRACT II: Filter Testing & Development; Procedures, Evaluation and Application

This fourth conference on “Filter Testing” continued the long AFSS tradition of dealing with all aspects of filtration testing both for liquid and air.

The program was well-rounded including test methods, procedures, evaluations and applications. Most types of filters were addressed including filter aids, coalescers, and even equipment. Of course, conventional media, cartridge, bag and strainer testing was also be covered.
