The core focus of the conference is the industrial application of fluidized-bed technology in fields such as the treatment of minerals, energy generation and conversion and petrochemicals. IFSA 2008 welcomes presentations of novel applications, such as in the bio-pharmaceutical industry. A key element of the conference is the interaction between academia and industry, exploring how fundamental research and modeling of fluidization can contribute to the design and operation of industrial plants.
A short course (school) has been planned suitable for students, plant engineers, operators
and researchers in the field, prior to the start of the conference. The organizing committee encourages delegates to seize this opportunity.
