American Filtration & Separations Society

AFS is the premier organization in North America dedicated to R&D, problem solutions and technology transfer in filtration and separation for the benefit of industrial processes, individual health and a clean environment.

The AFS conferences and events bring together the industry leaders, presenting the greatest opportunity to meet and hear the newest information in filtration and separation technology.

Over the past two years over 300 organizations have sent representatives to AFS events. These companies understand the value of employees with knowledge of the latest information in filtration and separation technology.

I attended my first AFS meeting in San Antonio and was impressed with the caliber of personnel and depth of knowledge. I have recieved email news from AFS for years and found them helpful if not for myself but others learning about filtration.
