Filter solutions provide are an important cornerstone of hygienic production environments, as required in the pharmaceutical and other process industries. Filter solutions often lead a niche existence at other trade fairs; at Filtech it is just the opposite, here they take center stage. As part of the trade fair, which takes place from 22nd to 24th of October 2019, Cologne will once again become the meeting point of the global filtration and separation industry with users from all relevant sectors. The organizer expects more than 400 exhibitors on 14,000 square meters of exhibition space. Filtech continues to grow — also in terms of visitor numbers.
Filtech 2019 conference
An important part of Filtech 2019 will be the well-established conference; once again presenting the latest advances and techniques in the dust, gas and air filtration. The English-language conference is organized in parallel to the exhibition from the 22nd to the 24th of October. Participants benefit from high-level technology and knowledge transfer and get the opportunity to get to know future trends and perspectives. The Filtech 2019 conference presents more than 200 technical papers, a plenary lecture and several keynote lectures by leading experts as well as plenty of opportunities to network with peers.
Lectures and Keynotes
During the three-day conference, a variety of presentations will be held on the following main topics: solid-liquid separation, solid-gas separation, testing / instrumentation / control, simulation and modeling, membrane processes and product-related processes as well as other special topics .
