:: Special Issue Marks 40 Years of the Filtration Society Proceedings

The April 2004 issue of Filtration commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Filtration Society. The papers contained in the issue are a selection from the thousands that have been presented at Society symposia and conferences and printed in the Proceedings of The Filtration Society. They represent contributions from people in both industry and academia to advancements in the knowledge and practice of filtration and separation.
