Waste Management & Handling
Joint Exhibition for the Sustainable Waste, Resource and Environment Sector
The organisers of the Recycling and Waste Management (RWM) exhibition and Futuresource have signed an agreement to combine the two exhibitions into one new event from 2011.
The Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM) and the Environmental Services Association (ESA), the organisers of Futuresource, and Emap, the organisers of RWM, have been listening to market feedback and are responding to customer views that the UK recycling and waste management market needs one major exhibition. It is the view of all parties that by working in partnership and combining the two exhibitions, a truly outstanding event can be delivered that meets the needs of a rapidly growing sector and is able to compete internationally.
The first combined event will take place at the NEC on 13th-15th September 2011. Futuresource 2011 will not take place at ExCeL in June and exhibitors will be invited to transfer their space to the new combined event.
Going forward, CIWM will play an integral role in influencing the shape, content and direction of the event through the joint event advisory board. It will also have a high profile presence at the show and will make a significant contribution to the marketing and promotion in 2011 and beyond.
Commenting on the merger, CIWM Chief Executive Steve Lee said:
“As the industry’s professional body, CIWM’s aim has always been to deliver a premier event for our sector and we believe we have reached an arrangement that will satisfy the needs of our customers and CIWM members. We plan to be very involved in the future of the joint exhibition and look forward to working with Emap to deliver a world class event.”
Malcolm Gough, CEO of Emap Connect commented:
“We are delighted to be joining forces with CIWM, the leading body that represents the professional interests of the waste and resource management sector. We have felt for a long time that the best solution for everyone would be a single show that effectively combines our skills and resources. We’re very much looking forward to welcoming the entire industry to the NEC for what will be a fantastic 2011 event and working with the industry in the future to further develop the exhibition in line with market needs.”

S+S (Germany) has supplied an in-line magnet system, specifically matched to meet demanding customer requirements, to a large German sugar-processing company. The combination of very high throughput rates and the removal of slightly magnetised stainless steel particles demands extremely high magnetic strength.
Dublin Selects Environmental Biotech Fog Removal System
The bacterial FOG removal system from Environmental Biotech (UK) has been approved by Dublin City Council and licensed for use in Food Service Establishments registered with the City Council.
The Environmental Biotech system, which uses live vegetative bacteria to consume the fats, oils and grease in drain lines, is the only system of this type permitted for use in the 2,100 food service establishments licensed by Dublin City Council. This is the latest municipal permit awarded to the Environmental Biotech FOG removal system.
Following long-term competitive tests monitored by the Drainage Division of Dublin City Council’s Engineering Department at two, high volume commercial catering establishments, this exclusive approval permit has been mandated by Dublin City Council for the Environmental Biotech system. Following this successful test and the successes achieved in Northern Ireland, the Environmental Biotech system package is now available to all catering establishments across Ireland.
Michael O’Dwyer, the Dublin City Council Executive Engineer who has driven the FOG elimination project for several years reports major improvements since the programme commenced. “Our legislative requirement for all food outlets to be licensed allows us to monitor their standards of drain line discharge and maintenance. Having drawn up the test criteria only the Environmental Biotech live bacteria system achieved the results we were looking for. Installing this system will enable commercial kitchens to minimise FOG waste getting into the City drain systems. Other cities should take this route and save the millions spent on FOG removal and blockage clean-ups. The Environmental Biotech system will certainly save us money,” says Mr O’Dwyer.
The problem with many municipal drainage systems is the high levels of FOG, the fat, oil and grease sluiced down the sink from commercial catering establishments such as restaurants, canteens, fast-food outlets, hotels, super markets and food processing facilities. The various elements of FOG combine to form solids that block pipe-work and clog up pumping stations. The non-carcinogenic Environmental Biotech system introduces live bacteria into the drainage network that simply consume and digest the fat and are carried away as the water flows. Eventually the micro-organisms die and are dissolved, eliminating the fat from the system. Free flowing drains protect health and avoid expensive clean-ups following flooding.

The S+S Magbox Autoclean has magnet rods arranged in staggered vertical layers. Each rod has an effective power of 12,000 Gauss. As Stephan Treml, the S+S Product Manager for Magnetic systems explains "In contrast to competitors’ systems, where field strength is defined at the inner core, the 12,000 Gauss of the Magbox Autoclean is measured at the surface of the stainless steel casings, where bulk material is in contact with the magnet. This results in significant performance advantages as In addition to the removal of typical ferrous contamination the extremely high magnetic power ensures the separation of slightly magnetised stainless steel particles from the product flow. With throughput rates of up to 200 tons of sugar per hour Magbox Autoclean achieves excellent separation results. Even under high material pressure and at significant flow velocities contaminants are reliably held by the magnet rods. The unit complies with HACCP requirements and is certified according to ATEX zone 22 directives.
Primarily intended for use in the food industry the Magbox Autoclean inline magnet system also finds application in pharmaceuticals and similar sensitive fields. The strong, wear- resistant housings are made of rustproof stainless steel.
Magbox Autoclean systems feature a pre-programmed PLC controller with optional user interface, allowing the user to continuously monitor system operation. Via the PLC controller cleaning intervals can be defined to match the level of contamination. Cleaning is performed automatically by applying compressed-air to the magnet cores, which then still in their stainless steel casings are transported to the cleaning area. Some of the magnet rods always remain at their operating position also during the cleaning cycle, guaranteeing separation of magnetic contaminants in continuous production processes.

Magnetic Separator, a Fully-Automatic Solution for the Food Industry
BIO-CEL®
With a scaled-down version of its innovative MBR system BIO-CEL®
MBR Laboratory Module for Pilot Installations (BIO-CEL®
replaced by a highly efficient and reliable membrane based bio-mass separation process requiring a much smaller footprint. Thanks to an ultrafiltration membrane with unsurpassed separating capacity and flow performance, the BIO-CEL®
and future oriented solution with a significantly higher purification rate and a solid-free discharge.
The possibilities of using membrane technology for trace substance elimination, bio-logical purification of substances such as medicines and industrial chemicals, and the optimisation of the biological process in MBR are being investigated on a broad front. These and more detailed analyses (e.g. MBR as a preliminary to a down-stream treatment stage etc.) should be promoted by a small, highly flexible laboratory MBR module.
The BIO-CEL® Lab has a membrane surface area of 0.35 m2 installed in a PVC frame with integrated crossflow aeration via a membrane diffuser. Connections for permeate
drainage and air supply are already provided. The module can thus be in-stalled and ready for use in a laboratory in the shortest possible time. The PES ul-trafiltration membrane (type UP150) is identical to that of the full scale BIO-CEL®
module, enabling qualitative statements to be made on experimental filtrate measurements. Should you have any further technical questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Reader Reply Card No 80
