What's Next In Continuous UV Light Technologies For Liquid Products?
3/15/2017
Short-wave ultraviolet irradiation (UV-C, 200−280 nm) offers one of the most promising, non-thermal technologies that could provide food processors with a safe, energy-efficient, and cost-effective way to gain an added measure of safety and extended shelf life. This article will discuss pros and cons of the existing UV units and introduce new commercial UV technology that can be used to treat products with low and extra low UV-C light transmission (UVT).

Ensuring Confidence In GFSI: Maintaining Value And Credibility Of Benchmarked Schemes
3/14/2017
In early March, I had the opportunity to sit on a panel discussion with several GFSI stakeholders, representing all aspects of the GFSI certification process. Moderated by Neil Marshall, global director of quality & safety strategy policy and programs at Coca-Cola; and Chris Lomauro, quality manager at General Mills, our conversation rotated around this scenario: a brand owner found an issue with a supplier who has been previously audited and certified to a GFSI benchmarked program.

Why Supply Chain Agility Is Essential For Food Manufacturers
3/10/2017
For years, the food industry has listened to predictions about the growth of online grocery shopping, but was hesitant to prepare for the unknown. Now, through innovative delivery and supply chain models, the industry is more capable of responding to consumers’ growing set of complex demands, such as e-commerce.

Industrial CoMag® System Datasheet
3/7/2017
Simple and reliable, the CoMag® System uses magnetite to ballast conventional chemical floc, enhancing settling rates and increasing the performance of wastewater and water treatment operations. The high-density, magnetite ballasted floc flows into a modified compact high rate Lancy™ Solids Separator. To minimize the amount of solids escaping the unit, the solids separator is equipped with a baffle plate and restrictive flow tube settlers. The solids separator is designed to maintain a sludge blanket in the hopper compartments under the tube settlers that act as a pre-filter.

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Systems
3/7/2017
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) systems are designed to remove suspended solids (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), and oils and greases (O&G) from a wastewater stream. Contaminants are removed through the use of a dissolved air-in-water solution produced by injecting air under pressure into a recycle stream of clarified DAF effluent. This recycle stream is then combined and mixed with incoming wastewater in an internal contact chamber where the dissolved air comes out of solution in the form of micron-sized bubbles that attach to the contaminants. The bubbles and contaminants rise to the surface and form a floating bed of material that is removed by a surface skimmer into an internal hopper for further handling.

Debunking 5 FSVP Myths
3/6/2017
Compared to the training requirements in the Preventive Controls Rule, and certainly in the Produce Safety Rule, the requirement — or even mere suggestion — that someone take a course in order to be able to comply with the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) Rule is non-existent. Why then, has every FSVP training course I’ve taught been sold out?
