The AIChE Spring Meeting is the year’s key technical conference for practicing chemical engineers. A wide range of subjects relevant to the current needs of industry are covered. The 8th World Congress on Particle Technology (WCPT8) was held in conjunction with the 2018 AIChE Spring Meeting . Over 600 participated in this 8th edition of WCPT8. NETL and the MFS team provided an exhibitor booth at the meetings. The Multiphase Flow Science team was in attendance at the meetings and provided multiple presentations. A full list of downloadable presentations can be found below.
