Removal of Moisture In Industrial Applications
13 December 2006 at the Institute of Physics, 76 Portland Place, London W1B 1NT
Any material which has been exposed to- or manufactured in atmospheric air will have gas, particularly water , adsorbed on its surface or absorbed in the bulk. The removal of moisture is of crucial importance in a wide range of activities from the preparation of pharmaceutical – and biological materials to power transmission and the manufacture of components for the automotive industry.
This Meeting should interest anyone who is involved with the efficient removal of moisture from a system. The Speakers will discuss selected topics in this huge field and time has been set aside for short (10-15 mins.) contributions from any participant. Offers to David Hucknall.
The Vacuum Group AGM will take place at lunchtime. There is no formal registration but please contact Ken Lawson if you would like to come.
