Pure processing.

Professional advancement.
The education program at PROCESS EXPO 2017 features
expert speakers tackling a wide range of critical topics
affecting today's food and beverage industry.
The PROCESS EXPO University program covers topics such as food safety and the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)
and alternative methods of production and automation, as well as food processing and packaging topics specific to each
of the major industry segments.

Eat It, Don't Treat It!
Theater: FSS
Identify cost savings in existing food processing facilities. Over 85% of
currently operating facilities have areas of product loss, excessive water
consumption, and downtime related to inefficient cleaning, causing
hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual losses. Learn how to identify
and correct these problems and how to create an operation that produces
a quality product at the lowest per-unit cost.
Speaker: Robert Price, Seiberling Associates, Inc.

Remove the Fat from Your Operations to Improve
Efficiency and Reduce Costs
Theater: 2
The modern food and beverage industry continues to be highly
competitive and cost conscious. Continuous improvement for efficiency
and reduction of operating expenses are important in this environment.
Simply identifying improvement opportunities without quantifying the
benefits of those changes will not convince management to make the
necessary investments. This can be accomplished using a combination
of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Discrete Event Simulation (DES).
VSM is a lean technique used to identify non-value-added activities
and find operational improvements. Though VSM can quantify certain
improvements, it may fail to capture the impact of change at a holistic
level. Furthermore, it does not help characterize the variability and
uncertainty inherent in your operations. This shortcoming can be
addressed by employing DES. Process modeling describes the dynamics

(time-dependent behavior) of operations while providing a rigorous
evaluation of inventory, scheduling, and relevant stochastic events.
Speakers: Philip Lyman, PhD, and Niranjan S. Kulkarni, PhD,
CRB Engineers

Increased Productivity with Environmentally
Responsible Non-Destructive Cleaning
Theater: 1
This presentation serves as an introduction to the dry ice cleaning process
and its benefits specifically for the food processing and packaging
industries. It will also provide details for attacking and reducing the
costs associated with cleaning and will help participants position their
companies for increased profitability.
Speaker: Tyson Marlowe, Cold Jet

Turning Waste Streams into Value Streams in Dairy
Processing Facilities
Theater: 1
Turning waste into energy is a hot topic in any industry. Food processing
waste streams such as condensate of whey and wastewater can be
treated (anaerobic digestion or fermentation) in such a way that they
generate biogas.
The biogas emitted from the digesters is composed primarily of methane
(CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), with small amounts of hydrogen
sulphide (H2S) and other components completing the list. Traditionally,
the generated biogas is fed to (steam) boilers (low efficiency) and
Combined Heat and Power Plants (CHPs). However, a more efficient
usage is to upgrade the biogas. Biogas upgrading is the process of CO2
separation from the biogas. This generates two value streams: high-caloric
