The 2007 Joint American and Japanese Flame Research Committee International Symposium
will be held at the
Marriott Waikoloa Resort on the big island of Hawaii near Kona, from October 22nd through 24th.
The papers selected for the meeting have been contributed from eleven different countries. They cover a
broad spectrum of interests related to industrial combustion, energy utilization and related topics in
furnaces, boilers, engines and flares. There are papers from universities, independent and government
sponsored research organizations, industrial research and development organizations, equipment
manufacturers and industrial engineering groups. The topics range from fundamental combustion to
industrial application case histories. Sessions include papers on Fundamental Combustion, Flares, High Temperature Air Combustion, Greenhouse Gas Issues, Combustion-Driven
Oscillations in Furnaces, NOx Control, Turbine and Diesel Engines, Oxy-Fuel Combustion, Computational
Fluid Dynamics, Coal and Oil Combustion and Diagnostics & Sensors.
The Joint AFRC-JFRC International Symposia, held every 3 to 4 years, are open meetings and are a
unique opportunity for individuals from industry, research organizations, government laboratories
and academic institutes to share their research and development interests.
The American Flame Research Committee (AFRC) and the Japanese Flame Research Committee (JFRC) are two
of the ten national committees that make up the International Flame Research Foundation (IFRF)
headquartered in Livorno, Italy. The role of the IFRF and the national committees is to
provide a forum for the exchange of information on applied research and technology for combustion and
related topics.
