Process Industries Division reducIng Water costs In the food Industry. a one-day seminar bringing together the food & water industries to examine ways of reducing costs and improving sustainability 7 October 2010 London book now: www.imeche.org/events/s1538 attendIng WIll help you: • Gain commercial and technical pointers for water cost savings • Learn about the latest technology and innovations which can assist food companies to be more sustainable with their water usage • Discuss legislation updates and best practice in water sustainability • Develop contacts in both the food and water industries to further your drive to reduce costs and be sustainable roundtable sponsor Improving the world through engineering 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. • • • • • Examine CAPEX/OPEX trade-off Understand plant operation optimisation Gain innovative process and engineering advice Learn how to reduce your water usage Discuss the potential benefits of anaerobic digestion in waste and wastewater treatment • Consider drain management and how it can help you be more sustainable • Hear about ice pigging and how it can reduce your water consumption In these days of credit crunch this conference represents excellent value for money and gives a good insight into best practice engineering.

He is currently working on the implementation of FDF’s sustainability policy, including its flagship brand for action on the environment, the Five-Fold Environmental Ambition, launched in October 2007. The Food and Drink Federation is the voice of the UK food and drink industry, the largest manufacturing sector in the country. 10:40TEA, COFFEE AND DISCUSSION 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 providing support and advice to Scottish Water during the procurement, construction and commissioning of its first >1MW food waste AD facility. Joe is also currently involved as technical adviser in a number of AD projects in South East Asia to treat palm oil mill effluent. 11:30FINDING OPPORTUNITIES IN EFFLUENT • Effluent as a resource • Managing wastewater streams to reduce costs • Meeting legislative requirements Patti Quintana, Business Customer Technical Services Manager, Anglian Water Patti joined Anglian Water in 2000. She is responsible for delivery of technical services to business customers, maximising efficiency, minimising water and wastewater costs and compliance with environmental regulation. Her experience includes process engineering for Anglian Water capital programmes, managing wastewater treatment sites for high industrial waste and innovation development projects, including the production of high-purity water from sewage final effluent and gasification of sewage sludge for energy. An excellent set of presentations covering all angles with a breadth and depth that was very useful and thought provoking. Simon Chandler Deloitte Speaking about a previous IMechE food industry event 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 Karim Esmail, Technology Director, BRE Karim is a member of IET and holds an MBA from Cranfield. His current responsibilities include identifying technology trends in the built environment, sustainable product development, corporate partnerships and developing technologies to bring them to market. BRE is a wholly owned BRETrust company. It is an independent and impartial, research-based consultancy, testing and training organisation, offering expertise in every aspect of the built environment and associated industries.

Table 1 Reduce your water and wastewater footprints and cut costs Hosted by Table 4 TOPIC TBC* Table 2 TOPIC TBC* 15:30ANAEROBIC DIGESTION AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS • What is anaerobic digestion? • Description of the plant required • Practical applications Peter Hough, Director, Weltec BioPower Peter joined Weltec in 2009, and has been working within anaerobic digestion for two years after a career within the agriculture industry. Weltec BioPower GmbH was founded in 2001 by parent companies Stallkamp – stainless-steel tank fabricators, and WEDA – pumping and control specialists. Weltec has over 200 anaerobic digestion plants in operation in Europe and around the world. There are three plants in 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. 16:10 AFTERNOON QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION 16:40CLOSING STATEMENT BY CHAIRMAN This programme is subject to change.
