REDUCING WATER COSTS
IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY.
Rising utility costs and the need for greater sustainability of resources have focused
the food industry’s demands of the water industry. This one-day seminar will
examine the challenges facing the food and water industries, as the food industry
seeks to become more sustainable with its use of water. The event will evaluate
sustainable use of resources, rising costs, tighter legislation and rising customer
expectations, supported by practical and innovative solutions to these challenges.
This event will attract:
Technical advantages:
Food process companies; vendor supply organisations;
water utilities; water equipment suppliers including
pumps, pipework and controls; plant optimisation
consultants; water design consultants and civil
engineers. This seminar will also attract public office
personnel for utility management.

11:10 POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF ANAEROBIC DIGESTION
IN WASTE AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT
• Waste and wastewater treatment
• Energy capture and utilisation
• Potential cost savings and revenues
• Partnering opportunities
Dr Joe Short, Technical Manager, SKM Enviros
Joe has a PhD in organic waste treatment from the Open
University, and has been working in the organic waste
treatment sector for over ten years. He has been involved
with a number of composting and anaerobic digestion
projects, including the design and installation of a
number of in-vessel composting plants. Joe is currently

11:50FORGOTTEN DEMANDS OF DRAIN
MANAGEMENT
• Drains are the last point of asset protection consideration
• Drains failures and cleaning can represent up to 20% of
maintenance and asset replacement costs
• The traditional mechanical separators are no longer
adequate with change in use by the food industry
• Innovation in fats, oils and grease liquefiers can offer an
alternate solution to cleaning and asset protection
• Case study on impact and cost-saving potential for the
food industry

operation in the UK and a number under construction.
15:50REDUCING WATER CONSUMPTION IN FOOD
FACTORIES USING ICE PIGGING
• Ice pigging is now in use in Bristol Water (cleaning trunk
mains)
• Limited experimental work suggests that ice pig should
reduce water consumption in once-through flushing
operations by a factor of 100 plus
• Prototype kit has been designed, is being tested and
preliminary results will be presented
Joe Quarini, Professor of Process Systems in Mechanical
Engineering Department, University of Bristol
Joe left the Atomic Energy Authority (Harwell) in 1993 to
take up his post at the University of Bristol where he teaches
and undertakes academic research in the general area of
thermofluids. For the past ten years his major research
themes have been associated with ice slurry technology.
This technology has been adapted to provide enhanced
shear and thereby cleaning capacity in complex topologies.
The technology is beginning to be successfully adopted
within the water supply industry as a means of cleaning
potable water supply pipes. Joe and his PhD students are
supporting Bristol Water in its ice pigging operations.

Compliance with the ATEX directives has been
mandatory for new equipment since June 2003, and for
existing equipment since July 2006. This seminar will
revisit the legislation and discuss topics that still cause
concerns, including: zoning, legal responsibility, old
machinery, second-hand machines and small vessels. It
will also look at the future development of ATEX.
