-Press Release-
In 1951 Harvard Air Cleaning Laboratory delivered the first air cleaning seminar for the United States Army Environmental Command. Through the Direction of Dr. Melvin First, a pioneer in the field of air cleaning, this program developed into In-Place Filter Testing Workshop, which has now run for over forty years and trained over one thousand engineers in nuclear air- and glass-cleaning technology.
In-Place Filter Testing Workshop will take place August 10-14, 2015 in Boston, MA, providing the training needed to design, implement, monitor, and maintain air cleaning systems for the nuclear industry.
The program now is led by Dr. Ronald Bellamy, President of the International Society for Nuclear Air Treatment Technologies and Dr. John Price, Director of the Office of Environmental Health and Safety at Northeastern University. “The knowledge gained in this course will aide me in my career development, “ remarked Jordan Schrock, a system engineer at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, “Learning from industry experts is a once in a lifetime experience.” Joining Drs. Bellamy and Price are world-renowned researchers at major US universities and industry experts from NUCON International, Air Techniques International, and Camfil, all leaders in the field of HEPA filtration.
Hands-on laboratory sessions are an integral part of In-Place Filter Testing Workshop. Participants benefit from applied interactive laboratory sessions where they have the opportunity to operate a variety of testing equipment and discuss practical approaches to challenges they face daily. “The labs brought to life the principles we were taught,” said Judith Healy, an industrial hygienist with the United States Department of Defense. “With their hands-on experience, [the labs] make the program the best learning experience I have ever had in continuing education.”
