Welcome from the Chairs

The NBDC 2019 is the dewatering and drying conference organized every two years by the Nordic and Baltic countries. It has evolved from the NDC’s that were fruitfully held sequentially from 2001 to 2013 in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. It was expanded to NBDC that has been successfully held in Poland and Germany.

The main purpose of the NBDC 2019 is to provide a forum for exchange of technical and scientific knowledge on drying and dewatering between the industry, academia, research centers and consulting agencies. Another aim is to promote the best drying and dewatering experimental and industrial practices in the Nordic and Baltic nations and to disseminate them internationally.

Topics covered will be on better products, enhanced processes and technologies for a sustainable society while complying with economical growth and industrial competiveness. Focus will be given on solving challenges on product-process quality, on energy utilization, on environment or climate change, and on technology/ecology impact.

The Grand Palace was built for Empress Elizabeth in baroque style in the center of the complex. The Grand Fountain Cascade, which is unique both technically and artistically, is a decorative pedestal for the Palace. The Grand Cascade is ornamented with numerous fountains, gilded statues, vases and crowned with the sculpture groups known as “Samson, Tearing the Lion's Jaws”, which is dedicated to the victory of Russia in the Northern War.
