Free training courses in Hygienic Processing
Burkert is running a second series of Free training courses dealing with the critical subject of Hygienic Processing. Burkert's UK and Eire Marketing Manager, Helen Christopher, comments: "We certainly appear to have struck a chord with the training courses that we are providing for the process, food, pharmaceutical and bio-medical sectors. Our Steam Training courses were quickly oversubscribed, so we are now providing more to meet the demand. The new Hygienic Processing courses are also the result of feedback from our customers regarding the specific types of training that they require to meet the continuing challenges they face, both from competitive markets and also as a result of the demands placed upon them by increasingly stringent regulatory regimes."
The courses are being run as comprehensive one-day modules by looking at compliance considerations in hygienic processing, then at ways of achieving higher process yields with minimum plant footprint, at the same time as achieving maximum clean-ability and optimum process flexibility.
Day one
This day looks at aspects for optimising connectivity and valves for modern hygienic processing plants. The course discusses the connectivity challenges for sterile process design, with discussion of the products available today. After lunch, the course moves on to considerations for effective valves: the design criteria and development of materials of construction in valves. Also covered is the evolution of diaphragm valves - with particular emphasis on reducing dead volumes.
Day two
The second day looks at means of keeping modern hygienic processing plants clean and safe, including critical measurements and considerations, and what can be done to save money in washing cycles. Attendees will go through a design check list to assess plant and look at other practical tips with real-life case studies.
Day three
On the third day attendees consider fermentation systems, with an introduction to the application and requirements for success. The course looks at background details as well as terms and definitions, plus useful advice such as specification considerations, hints to guarantee process conditions.
Day four
On the final day, the course explores extended options for mechanical systems and working within guidelines. The course covers performance indicators for plant efficiency and control architecture possibilities.
Helen Christopher states: "We are covering a lot of ground on each day, but all the material is highly relevant and covers the key subjects that our customers need to know about. In addition, we understand the time pressures under which our customers operate; that is why we have compacted the courses into separate single-day modules which delegates are welcome to attend one, some or all of, depending on their interest and work commitments".
