15 May – Training Course: Industrial Solid-Liquid Separation Equipment
Runcorn, UK

The course is of interest to engineers, scientists, managers and other technical personnel involved in solid-liquid separation in the process and related industries. 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.

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

  • An insider’s view of the solid-liquid filtration market
  • Ordering and buying solid-liquid separation equipment
  • Guidance on selling solid-liquid separation equipment
  • Practical aspects of the basics of sedimentation and filtration
  • Clarification and cake filtration
  • Membrane filters
  • Centrifugal separators
  • Pressure and vacuum filters
  • Selection, analysis and simulation of SLS equipment
