SECOND EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON
FLUIDFLUID-PARTICLE SEPARATION
The Conference is an international event, the second of a series that is destined to become a major
date in the calendar of all the key actors in the field of fluid-particle separation. It will provide postgraduate students, researchers, engineers and technicians from equipment manufacturers and end
users with a first-class opportunity to meet, discuss and learn about the latest results and
developments in the field. After the success for the first conference FPS 2010 gathering more than
130 experts from 13 countries to listen to 60 lectures and read 30 posters, FPS2014 is organized by
the French Fluid-Particle Separation Society (SF2P) with the endorsement of the French Membrane
Club (CFM) and the French Society of Process Engineering (SFGP).
The conference will be organized on the following topics:
Separation of dispersed phases from liquid (including decantation and thickening in
gravity settlers and thickeners; cake and clarifying filtration in vacuum and pressure
filters; centrifugal separations in filtering or sedimenting centrifuges and hydrocyclones; solid-liquid expression, liquid-liquid and solid-liquid extractions; flotation for
emulsions and suspensions; adsorption),
Separation of dispersed phases from gas (including separations in fiber filters,
electrostatic precipitators, cyclones and wet scrubbers, emission reduction),
Membrane Separation (including microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse
osmosis and pervaporation),
Characterization of particles, suspensions, aerosols and porous media (including
particles size analysis and counting, microscopic examination, pore size analysis,
resistance to flow and performance measurments, determination of ability to a
separation such as filterability or settleability, surface and interfacial properties)
Predicting and monitoring
monitoring of separations (including computer modeling, imaging,
process monitoring, testing and validation; suspensions, emulsions and mists
characterization, from nanoparticles to agglomerates),
Technical developments in filter media (e.g. woven and non-woven media,
membranes, composite and renewable media, filter aids),
Processes intensification and innovative technologies (field assisted: electrical,
magnetic, acoustic, vibrational methods in separation processes and in pretreatment/post-treatment operations; bio- and chemical enhancement of coagulation
and flocculation; advances and combined processes and equipment),
PrePre-treatment,
PostPost-treatment
and
Related
Processes
and
Techniques
(crystallization, coagulation and flocculation, coalescence, washing, drying),
Product Related Filtration and Separation Applications (in, for example, water, waste
water and sludge treatment, chemical and related industries, mine and mineral
industry, paper making, food and beverage production, pharmaceutical and health,
nuclear industry, textile, iron and steel, surfactants, cosmetics and perfume,
electronics, automotive systems, clean room technology),
FluidFluid-Particle Separation to fulfill new “green processes”
processes” requirements.
requirements.
The Conference shall include 3 types of presentations, all in English:
English
• Invited plenary lectures and keynotes selected by the Scientific Committee
• Oral lectures organized in topical sessions introduced by a keynote lecture
• Posters.
Posters.
The highlights of the conference will be published in a special issue of
Separation and Purification technology.
Beside the conference, a table top exhibition will allow manufacturers and
suppliers
