Process Expo Demo - 7

PROCESS EXPO University
biomethane and food-grade CO2. Through the application of membrane
and cryogenic technology, 100% CH4 can be recovered with minimal CO2
emission. The high-caloric biomethane is either buffered (in the national
gas grid) or consumed on site (boiler fed with clean high-caloric gas for
optimal efficiency). The filtered CO2 is ready for food-grade application.
This technology won a 2016 best in class award from the U.K. Anaerobic
Digestion and Biogas Association (ADBA). In addition, stand-alone
CO2 recovery plants are solutions for existing sites that may already be
recovering biomethane from anaerobic digester biogas but that also want
to be able to recover and use the CO2 emitted from their existing system
back in their operation or for sale to a third party. This presentation will
include case studies of current installations.

2:00pm
Aseptic Processing and Packaging
Theater: 2
This session will be an overview of some of the more recent advancements
as they apply to aseptic processing and packaging and will cover the
following: processing advancements such as particulate validation, hold
tube flow control, laminar or turbulent flow, pumping methods, heat
exchangers, non-thermal processing, and aseptic dosing. We'll also discuss
packaging advancements such as recyclable and renewable packaging,
filler speeds, package design, and fitments.

Speaker: Jeff Tocio, Pentair

Speaker: Steve Smith, Purdue University

Considerations for Validation of Thermal Processes
Used in the Manufacture of Low-Moisture Foods
Theater: 2

Milk Pricing 101
Theater: 1

Recent outbreaks and recalls due both to Salmonella in low-moisture
foods and to pending FSMA Preventive Controls rules make processing
interventions imperative to ensuring product safety. Legacy technologies
previously designed to achieve quality outcomes but not designed as kill
steps (e.g., drying or baking) must now be validated for this purpose.
This session will also cover critical factors to address when completing
a validation of thermal processing for low-moisture foods.
Speakers: Nathan Anderson, U.S. Food and Drug Administration;
Elizabeth Grasso, Illinois Institute of Technology; Bradley Marks,
Michigan State University; Jeyam Subbiah, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

12:30pm
Processor Spotlight: Richard Thompson -
Breaking the Mold with Freshpet
Theater: FSS

Have you ever wondered what determines the price you pay for your
milk-based products? In this session, we review the fundamentals of the
systems used to determine milk prices for most of the milk produced
in the U.S. A simple spreadsheet of milk price determination under
the Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO) system will be introduced
and made available for your own use in determining future milk costs.
The relationship between cash and future market prices for milk-based
products will also be introduced, and the availability of additional
resources will be identified.
Speaker: Brian Gould, University of Wisconsin

3:30pm
Dairy Facility Contamination Case Study
Theater: 1

Former CEO of Freshpet Richard Thompson joins PROCESS EXPO
attendees to share his experiences in transforming a niche of the pet food
industry into one of its most innovative and talked-about categories.

This case study focuses on a fluid milk producer that had high bacteria
counts in the final product. Multiple changes were implemented to fix
the issue, but none of them got to the root cause. An examination of
highlighted paths during CIP through the equipment helped identify the
root cause and resolve the issue.

Speaker: Richard Thompson, Freshpet

Speaker: Mike Byron, Seiberling Associates, Inc.

Business Is Better at the Speed of the Cloud
Theater: 2

How Do We Protect Food Processing Equipment from
Potential Hazards?
Theater: 2

Moving to the Cloud is big news. There is much discussion about what
the Cloud means for food businesses and what you need to do to take
advantage of it. In this session, we'll share some of the top ways the
Cloud can benefit your business and why you should consider it.
Speaker: Matthew Hall, Columbus

FSMA Update for Processors
Theater: 1
By September 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will likely
have met its internal FSMA training obligations, and it is likely there will be
significant focus on processing equipment by investigators regardless of
their knowledge, training, or experience. This presentation will cover FSMA
equipment requirements, how to comply with those requirements, and
"war stories" from recent FDA field inspections that identified equipment
shortcomings.
Speaker: Allen Sayler, EAS Consulting Group

The presenter will explain the chemistry of materials commonly used
in food processing equipment as well as the potential biological
hazards associated with poorly designed and poorly maintained
production/processing equipment. You'll learn the importance of design
characteristics such as smoothness and finish, internal angles, joints,
connections, and attachments in maintaining food safety. And we'll
cover what biofilms are, how they develop, and ways to prevent them
from occurring, which may contribute to food production and safety.
The presenter will also explain the differences in behavior of allergens
with various food product contact surfaces.
Speaker: Ramakrishnan Narasimhan, Perry Johnson Registrars
