The Wolfson Centre and Surface Measurement Systems Join Forces to Explore Advanced Sorption Characterization for Optimizing Bulk Handling

Join a one-day seminar at the Wolfson Centre, University of Greenwich, with Surface Measurement Systems, focused on how moisture affects bulk material handling. Morning presentations from leading experts will address key challenges such as mould growth, mycotoxins, and humidity control in food and feed systems, offering insights relevant to both industry and research.


Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of sorption behaviour and moisture interactions, with examples ranging from bulk storage to advanced materials like 3D-printed hydrogels. The programme highlights how analytical techniques like DVS can support practical problem-solving.


In the afternoon, reinforce your learning through hands-on laboratory sessions using advanced instrumentation. This interactive experience provides practical skills and direct engagement with experts, making it highly valuable for applying moisture control strategies in real-world settings.
