Congress Welcome

As Chairman of WFC10 and on behalf of the VDI-Society for Chemical and Process Engineering I have the pleasure to invite you to join the 10th World Filtation Congress in Leipzig Germany. It is the first time that Germany has been privileged to host a World Filtration Congress and our aim is to organise a memorable WFC for the world-wide F&S community.

The WFC10 will embrace five days from Monday to Friday. The first day is foreseen for technical short courses. The afternoon of the last day is reserved for post-congress plant tours. The remaining three and a half days are planned for the technical conference and parallel exhibition. In total about 300 technical presentations with concurrent sessions are expected and a major international exhibition featuring all relevant aspects of filtration and separation.


Leipzig has been selected as it meets the needs for a successful WFC in every way. Having a tradition going back over 500 years in holding fairs the modern City of Leipzig today is foremost in providing the most modern facilities and excellent possibilities for travel and accommodation. A vibrant and exciting visitor destination.

At the same time the carefully restored historic City of Leipzig offers delegates and visitors alike a unique experience from cultural and historical aspects in a warm and convivial atmosphere. Located in a traditional trading and industrial area the fast developing region around Leipzig is ideally situated to offer interesting site visits within short distances.

The Call for Papers starts in January 2007. Papers about actual results of research projects and new technical developments but also papers, which give an overview and show development trends in particular areas of filtration & separation technology are invited.
