Memories of Hydrocyclones '03, Cape Town

Hydrocyclones '03 was MEI's 1st of only two hydrocyclones conferences, which were later incorporated into the Physical Separation series. It was held over three days at the Mount Nelson Hotel, Cape Town, 20 years ago this month. The conference was sponsored by Axsia Mozley and was attended by around 55 delegates.

The conference was timed to immediately precede the XXIIth International Mineral Processing Congress, which was also held in Cape Town, to give minerals industry delegates the opportunity of attending both meetings in this wonderful part of the world. Participants included industry representatives from the processing, oil production, and marine shipping industries, as well as scientists and engineers from universities and government institutions.

Papers from the conference were published in Volume 17 Number 5, a special Hydrocyclones issue of Minerals Engineering.

A selection of photos taken at Hydrocyclones '03 is shown below. Many of the delegates are familiar faces at current conferences, some, unfortunately, are no longer with us.
