Inspec hosted their 6th Annual Dinner & Seminar on  November 29, 2007 at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, PA., coinciding with the Filtration Conference & Exposition which rotates annually between Philadelphia and Chicago.  
 
The Franklin Institute was also the setting for the afternoon  technical seminar where 25 attendees where able to hear two presentations, from new technology to plant updates.  The first presentation was given by Dr. Herbert Griesser, Inspec Fibres General Manager, on “Reasons for Increased Filtration Efficiency of Filter Media of Multi-lobal P84 Fibers”.  The presentation focused on the filtration influences of fibers with circular and multi-lobal diameters.  This was demonstrated through  fiber comparisons of the flow field and filtration behavior as well as the interpretation of the VDI tests of various blended filter media.
 
The second presentation was prepared by Inspec Fibres’ newest colleague, Mr. Florin Popovici on “Beier Albany / Eskom Experience with Filtration Fibers in Utility Boilers”.  Primary topics dealt with the trial bag program, the options considered by Eskom in improving filtration performance, solutions and conclusions.  Both these presentations are available on the Inspec Fibres website, www: P84.com under the Presentation Section of the web page.

76 customers, suppliers and friends, attended the evenings social event which included music and dinner under the stars in the museum’s planetarium, followed by the presentation “In Search of Life” also within the planetarium.  All the guests where then invited to view the Darwin Exhibit featured at the museum.  We look forward to our next function which will be held during the ‘Filtration 2007” at the Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois in mid November 2007.  We look forward to the return of our attendees and look forward to inviting new people in.
