Filtration 2015 International Conference & Exposition, organised by INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, will take place in Chicago, IL, from 17-19 November and will focus on filter media for air and liquid filtration.

The Pure Opportunity theme of the event builds on the purification function of the filter media industry, which was valued at US$ 15.4 billion in 2013 end use sales in North America and showed a robust 4% annual growth rate from 2008.

Nonwoven Filter Media Training Course

Back due to popular demand, INDA’s Nonwoven Filter Media Training Course will co-locate with Filtration 2015 prior to the exposition, beginning on 17 and concluding on 18 November.

Led by Christine Sun, PhD, Principal, Filtration Technologies International, this training course presents an opportunity to discover the principles of filtration, market and technology trends, technologies, products, test standards, unmet needs, and the growing potential of filter media products.

“INDA’s sold out Nonwoven Filter Media Training Course was well-received at Filtration 2014. INDA is committed to bringing together in one place high-quality content and exhibition opportunities to advance the interests of filtration professionals. Filtration is a key growth sector within nonwovens and Filtration 2015 continues to be the most important filtration industry event in the world,” commented Dave Rousse, INDA’s President.
