Compressed Air as a Food Ingredient - Webinar

Join Keynote Speaker, Roderick Smith, Publisher/Producer of Compressed Air Best Practices® Magazine and the Best Practices Expo & Conference, to discuss compressed air as a food ingredient. As an ingredient, do Quality or Maintenance departments verify compressed air does not carry moisture, oil, solid particulates or microorganisms? As an ingredient, what volume of these contaminants can compressed air contain? How does one discover where, in the production process, compressed air becomes an ingredient by directly contacting food or food packaging? A recent research trip to a brick cheese production plant will provide an example of how to begin answering these questions and properly treating compressed air as a food ingredient.   

Our first sponsor speaker is Brett Greenlee, Key Accounts Sales Manager, Trace Analytics. Since compressed air can be an important ingredient in many food and beverage products, it is essential that the quality of that air is regularly monitored and tested. His presentation, “Compressed Air Quality Matters - How to Test it,” will discuss compressed air system’s risks, regulation requirements, and the best ways to test for contamination.

Our second sponsor speaker is Jason Brister, Product Manager – Desiccant Dryers & Custom Products, BEKO Technologies. His presentation, “Exploring Oil-Free Compressed Air Treatment Technologies” will discuss oil-free technologies utilized in the compressed air industry, specifically focusing on their role in meeting the diverse requirements for oil-free air in the food and beverage industry.
