Commercial Kitchens Seminar:
Despite the costs of grease equipment and the use of ‘fat digesters’ foodservice businesses continue to suffer the unnecessary expense and risks of blocked drains, odour and hygiene problems caused by Fat Oil & Grease.
The growing prevalence of FOG as an environmental and economic problem has led to a significant growth in the availability and use of Biological FOG treatments, often described as fat digesters.
The description “Fat Digester” is misleading as the majority if not all products do not actually digest fat, they simply break it down allowing it to flow away; FOG remains undigested and accumulates again in kitchen pipework and causes blockages downstream in drains. Mark discusses the shortcomings in the performance of ‘fat digesters’ and why?How do you know that your fat digester is working as promised? Are they value for money?
Mark will clear-up the bacteria & enzyme sales jargon to assist foodservice businesses in making more informed purchase decisions to reduce costs and minimise the Legal, Financial, Health & Safety, Environmental and Reputational risks of FOG.
Hear how Stopblox, the most effective and fit-for-purpose biological treatment on the market, stops FOG build-up, prevents blockages and reduces costs; also hear about Fogcheck, a new service to enable foodservice businesses make more informed and effective purchase decisions to reduce costs, and minimise the legal, financial, Health & Safety, environmental & reputational risks of FOG.
Engineering &Processing Seminar:
With a growth in the availability and use of Biological treatments for Suspended Solids, COD& BOD in Trade Effluent discharge,Markwill discuss the benefits of this technology and also the shortcomings in the effectiveness of biological treatments; whether they are actually effective at reducing SS and COD/BOD.
Mark will clear-up the “bacteria & enzyme”marketing jargon to explain the simple differences in the available technologies and their effectiveness;an insight to enable food processing businesses make more informed purchase decisions when it comes to biological treatments.
What are Biological treatments? do they work? Can they be the basis of a strong business case for waste water treatment and generate cost Savings?
