Heating dominates energy use in the food and drink sector. Much of this is currently from gas, so to decarbonise it requires a switch to renewable sources. Renewable electricity will be in demand for other applications (EV charging, refrigeration etc) so the use of renewable solid fuels is a sector that needs to increase. This webinar will take a brief look at the application areas, the available fuels in term so both waste and energy crops, and the challenges with handling and using them.

There is a clear ‘paradox’ witnessed within UK process industries. If COMAH sites are highly regulated, if industry standards and guidelines are readily available for mechanical joint integrity and If people are attending recognised competency based training courses, why do we see so many non-conformances and defects to bolted joint assemblies. This webinar will share statistics, data and photographic evidence and will look into the issues raised and the ‘route to competence’.
