Filtech 2015 Congress, taking place from 24-26 February 2015 in the city of Cologne in Germany, will turn into the top-meeting-place for all those involved with filtration and separation and adjacent sectors, organisers report.

With 350 exhibitors, the filtration show will take place for the first time at the new venue KoelnMesse, where  on 12,000 square metres of exhibition space 350 companies will present their cutting-edge products and innovations to an international audience of buyers, sellers, users, designers, R&D experts, and the academic world.

The international congress is the platform for academia and all those keen to learn about latest research, solutions and approaches. It will feature 160 technical papers by experts from all over the globe. Knowledge and know-how transfer is a main target set by organisers.

Expanded exhibition space

 The show has again expanded its exhibition space at the new venue in Cologne. Filtech 2015 will feature innovative companies and market leaders from the world-wide filtration and separation industry, including both a strong line-up of returning companies as well as an impressive collection of first-time exhibitors.

With clearly more than 50% foreign visitors Filtech will once again have a distinctly international flare and is a unique platform for learning about trends, gathering information, and generating business – a great opportunity to discover new markets.

Global developments and new approaches

During the three days of congress a total of 180 presentations will offer a representative cross section of current research findings, global developments, and new approaches to solving problems with respect to the methods for the classic mechanical separation of particles from liquids, the gas cleaning and membrane filtration methods.

This ranges from mineral dressing to biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals right up to environmental technology and water purification. In addition to the current findings of research on the basics for describing and simulating separation processes, new instrumental solutions, and methods will be presented, including the description of filter testing, particle measurement, methods of membrane characterisation, and other peripheral field-proven components.

Special highlights are a plenary and six survey lectures in which internationally renowned experts give a comprehensive overview of state of the art knowledge and techniques concerning important aspects of separation technology.
