IOP High Impact Industrial-Academic Partnerships

The IOP Combustion Physics Group  is organizing the meeting ‘High Impact Industrial-Academic Partnerships: Delivering Future Combustion Technologies’. It will take place on Tuesday 23 October 2012 at the University of Lincoln. 

For registration, follow this link.

The aim is to show that combustion continues to be a challenge in both academia and industry in order to meet current and future requirements. Complexities include the demand for further fuel flexibility and operational flexibility to deliver environments and efficiency benefits. The programme with topics and speakers is attache below.

One-day meeting of the IOP on Combustion and NOx in the Environment, 21 April, Nottingham

Combustion and NOx in the Environment

(Formerly known as Low NOx Combustion)

21 April 2010, East Midlands Conference Centre, University of Nottingham, UK Organised by the IOP Combustion Group and the IOP Environmental Physics. This meeting is co-sponsor by the Combustion Institute British Section.

Nitrogen oxides are major pollutants from combustion and their emission is strictly regulated by law and technologically challenging to reduce. This meeting will focus on the fundamentals and practical aspects of low NOx technologies and will be of interest to academics and industrialists alike.
