International Society For Electrostatic Precipitation

XII - Nuremberg, Germany, May 9th-13th, 2011

12th International Conference On Electrostatic Presipitation

The 12th International Conference on Electrostatic Precipitation (ICESP XII) has been held in Nuremberg, Germany. With 182 delegates from 26 countries and 63 paper presentations it could be proved that electrostatic precipitation is a global challenge. Science and technology are still in development in this field. Presentations were given about both new research and practical solutions. Challenging tasks like collection efficiency improvements combined with energy saving technologiescould be presented and discussed. The conference has a long tradition of providing an international forum for experts to present and discuss the latest developments in the application of pollution control by means of Electrostatic Precipitation and Fabric Filters. The conference dinner had been offered in the historic town hall of Nuernberg For attendees we have prepared a selection of conference photos here. The password will be sent to all delegates by email. More information, e.g. paper downloads, list of delegates will be offered here on short term
