Description

The "Fundamentals in Filtration" is a lively, practical and hands-on 2-day training course that will provide you a unique overview of all aspects of nonwoven filter media, including filtration principles, processes and applications. 

The course will start with an overview of nonwoven raw materials and technologies, with special emphasis on those techniques that are especially useful in the various filtration domains. Next the basic filtration theory will be presented, followed by a more specific explanation about air filtration, air pollution control, and liquid filtration.
After a comprehensive review of filtration standards, the course is concluded by a session about converting technologies.
