Due to technical problems with the internet connection IFRF had to postpone its MNM issue planned for 15^th September by one week, to 22^nd September. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Two weeks ago American Flame Research Committee (AFRC) had its annual meeting, which took place in Houston, Texas between 7^th and 10^th September. The meeting covered hot subject such as flairs burners, waste and biomass combustion, oxy-fuel combustion, NOx reduction technologies, flameless combustion, and combustion modelling.
