This Presentation was originally given on February 2009, by JP Kenny. This company, today, is known as Wood Group Kenny. said presentation was given at the Underwater Intervention conference, and it excels in explaining what exactly is in the works, in terms of subsea technology, and where said technology is headed.
At 300 meters depth, we have it covered. But at depths up to 3000
meters, the physical conditions demand a radical re-think around
techniques and technology.
Aquafeed producers are losing about $4 to $10 per ton of product produced in terms of lost production, higher energy consumption and lowered product quality. These losses can be recovered by substituting a more effective moisture (MC) sensing and control technology for currently used traditional MC sensing and control.
In all areas of modern society, the animal feed industry included, packaging is the subject of constant scrutiny. No longer is it enough for a solution to deliver advanced product protection, it must also do so in a way that is cost effective, efficient and green.

The vast river network in Europe, and not in the least in Germany, France, The Netherlands and Belgium, represents more than ever a very attractive way of transporting bulk goods and grains.
For efficient unloading of grain and other bulk goods, both mechanical ship unloading systems like the Bühler Portalink and Portalino and pneumatic ship unloaders like the Bühler Portanova are employed worldwide. Each of these system types is founded on sophisticated, powerful technology and is the perfect instrument for specific areas of application. Mechanical and pneumatic ship unloaders serve the same basic purpose: to unload grain or other bulk goods as efficiently as possible. But each system possesses specific advantages that make it the preferable choice for certain areas of application.
We prepared this brochure for an Israeli company attending an international exhibition. They needed to impress potential distributors with their product range.
The project included branding the company, photography, video, print and preparing the exhibition booth.
At Ampelmann, our motto is “Offshore access as easy as crossing the street”. We take this very seriously: on a day to day basis hundreds, sometimes thousands of people go to work safely using our systems all across the world. They leave their vessel, wait for the green light and transfer to their workplace, be it an offshore rig, a turbine or an FPSO. We want that experience to be equivalent to crossing the street: be aware of the action you are taking, follow the procedures and complete the transfer easy, safe and fast.

For 2016/17 (July to June), Post/New total Mexican wheat production is forecast to increase to 3.9 million metric tons (MMT). This increase of approximately 3.7 percent assumes favourable weather conditions and normal yields in the key wheat areas of Northwest Mexico (Baja California and Sonora) for the 2015/16 autumn/winter crop cycle.
The long-awaited Panama Canal expansion opened earlier this Summer with a ceremonial ship passing through the waterway. Based on extensive research including more than 100 studies on the economic feasibility, market demand, environmental impact and other technical engineering aspects, the Panama Canal expansion involved the construction of a ‘Third Set of Locks’ that will now allow larger ships to pass through the famous canal.
Family-owned Catalyst, formerly Pharm-Tech, custom formulates and manufactures feed and nutritional supplements for customers in the livestock, poultry, pet, wildlife and aquaculture industries. It operates five production plants, three in Idaho and two in Iowa. Its range of over 100 products includes digestive aids, mineral supplements and most recently Certified Organic blends and finished feeds.
Wholegrain Ingredient Producers EDME, based in England, has pioneered an innovative new category of ingredients. Michael Carr, Sales and Marketing Director of natural ingredient producer at EDME says, “We’ve identified a growing interest in sprouted foods and have developed a brand new product category to help bakers and food manufacturers meet that interest and demand.” Sprouted grains meet the demand for new wholegrain ingredients that are nutritious, soft and tender, as well as being more palatable and digestible.
Last month, we outlined the new regulations that grain processors needed to be aware of. This included the new NFPA 652 and OSHA initiatives. This month we delve into the array of options available to control combustible dust. Grain processors need to be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of each before choosing the smartest approach.

On the 26 October this year, Milling and Grain magazine attended OCRIM’s 6th technical conference “Wheat, Flour and…” at its headquarters located in Cremona, home to violin extraordinaire Antonio Stradivari and arguably one of Northern Italy’s most picturesque historical cities. The annual event was aimed at clients, local residents, and friends in the worlds of industry, academia and politics.
CROP farmers anxiously watching prices fall to ever less remunerative levels have had further unwelcome news over the past couple of months from yet higher cereal and oilseed crop estimates across the Northern Hemisphere.
Joordens Zaden in Kessel, The Netherlands is an international specialist in the development and production of seed for green manure crops, forage crops and forage grasses. The seeds comply with the high quality requirements of ISTA and are strictly checked every week by external quality controllers from the Dutch General Inspection Service (NAK).
A leading miller since the company was founded in 1919, over the years Grand Moulins in Paris has been able to diversify its activities and innovate to maximize customer satisfaction.
With over a century of experience in the design, quality and installation of grain storage systems, Bentall Rowlands Storage Systems Limited is a leading UK manufacturer in complete storage and processing equipment for the agricultural and industrial markets.
Many in the milling and grain sector may be unaware that there is a significant new revenue stream available to progressive and forward-thinking mills. It focuses on the use of energy, and how by turning the power down for a relatively short period each year in line with National Grid’s and EirGrid’s requirements, companies can enjoy considerable and long-term financial rewards.
Calysta, the company developing and introducing a new protein source based on single-cell organisms - a bacterium called methylococcus – and destined for inclusion in fishfeeds, has built a ‘market introduction facility’ in Teesside, England, with production beginning in this last quarter of 2016.
Changes in flour quality are and will continue to be a problem for the bakery industry. Large amounts of grain are processed by the milling industry and many resources used to secure the flour produced have a consistent quality.
The Bakery Innovation Center (BIC) at the Bühler headquarters is now five years old. As a center for vocational training and further education for bakers and millers, it is very popular.
As “enlightened” as such statement by what Stanford University calls “the most influential English speaking philosopher of the 19th century” is, one could easily make an argument that when it comes to commodity market analysis the statement seems to be as useful as a bicycle to a fish.
