FILTECH 2011 Congress featured 180 papers from 31 Countries and attracted close to 500 delegates. The FILTECH Congress provides a representative survey of current research findings and state-of-the-art developments for the solution of filtration and separation targets in a wide range of sectors. FILTECH 2011 Congress also features a plenary lecture and 6 survey lectures. One day prior to FLTECH 2011 two 1-Day Short Courses were held. Short Course I featured "The Solid/Liquid Separation Process", Short Course II "Fine Dust Separation". Here you find the FILTECH 2011 Conference Programme.
