Graham Rideal, managing director of standards and calibration company Whitehouse Scientific, has been elected to a second consecutive term as chairman of the Filtration Society
"The past year has been a busy, and I believe successful, one for the Filtration Society as we extend our activities and our international connections.
I'm certainly looking forward to continuing that process," said Rideal.
"Last year the society and its members supported a wide variety of major industry events around the world, including the American Filtration Society/AIChE joint conference, HVac Vietnam and HVac China, Filtech 2005 in Germany and Filtration 2005 in Chicago.
"As well as this, our own programme of seminars and technical meetings held in the UK has really taken off.
"We received tremendous support from the membership for our one-day meetings, which last year covered topics ranging from the use of filtration technologies to increase profits and reduce costs, to improving process efficiency through filter scale-up and evaluation.
These events will be continued in 2006".
The Filtration Society is a charitable, non-profit making organisation which aims to advance and disseminate knowledge in the design and use of filtration and separation techniques.
It has members in more than 25 countries around the world.
