The AFRC organizing committee requests abstracts of papers for presentation at the American Flame Research Committee’s 2023 Annual Industrial Combustion Symposium to be held September 25–27, 2023, at Embassy Suites Denver Downtown in Denver, Colorado. The AFRC Annual Industrial Combustion Symposium provides a unique forum for combustion professionals to network, display their work, receive direct feedback, and learn from each other.
Abstracts on all topics related to combustion and flame are welcome. However, our theme for the 2023 Symposium is "Application of Green Combustion Technology in the Metals Industry," and therefore, topics related to this theme are encouraged. Presentations in past symposia have covered a wide spectrum:
All combustion equipment types are covered. A sampling of papers from past meetings.
Questions can be directed to Kelly LeCount at kelly@goyermgt.com. Notification of acceptance will be communicated by May 15, 2023.
Abstracts should be no more than one-page in length and provide a brief overview of the presentation topic along with enough information to help decide on its acceptability.
Please note that the AFRC policy is "No Paper, No Podium!" If you do not submit a written paper by the deadline, you will be unable to present at the Symposium even if your abstract had been accepted. The final paper must be submitted by July 31, 2023. We urge you to submit your paper early, as our deadlines are firm. Your cooperation and support are greatly appreciated.
In the interest of maintaining the quality of papers presented at the Symposium, we encourage the intending authors to present work that contains new data and/or analyses, new analyses/interpretation of old data or enlightening interpretation of new government regulations or industrial practices. Papers based on data or information readily available in books, standards or recommended practices are strongly discouraged.
The presenter agrees to the following Speaker Requirements.
