AFS and Filtration News Join McIlvaine in Creating a New Route to Market for You

The Filtration & Separation in Power Generation Conference taking place April 27 – 29, 2015 in Charlotte, N.C. will be focused on solutions. It will be part of a whole new integrated knowledge effort.  If you are involved in hot gas cleanup, gas turbine air inlet filtration, or water treatment, you should consider participating.

This new approach is based on the belief that decision makers need the precise options which are available at each step in the decision making process. The best way to evaluate those options is to participate in discussions and debates with the world experts representing each option.

Tuesday, April 28 at 3:20 p.m. there will be a discussion of gas turbine inlet air treatment with a focus on HEPA vs. medium efficiency filters and filter media.

Wednesday, April 29 at 10:20 a.m. there will be a discussion of hot gas filter options including synthetic, glass, ceramic and metal media.

Tuesday/Wednesday there will be presentations on power plant water options including cross-flow membranes, demineralization and degasification.

This conference will be a unique high level exchange because it will be based on options already analyzed in three free websites:

Gas Turbine Air Treatment - Continuous Analyses

Hot Gas Filters - Continuous Analyses

Degasification and Demineralization - Continuous Analysis

All attendees will be advised to view these websites in advance. Suppliers will be encouraged to submit data.  Power plants will be asked to submit questions and concerns.  These will be addressed before during and after the conference.

A significant number of experts will not only be participating but will be available for discussions throughout the conference.  There will be dedicated luncheon tables, so participants can talk to specific experts.

Filtration News is publishing an overview prior to the conference and will publish a series of summaries in the months following the conference.  The websites will be continually updated.

These websites are part of larger programs which are free of charge to any power plant in the world.
