Presentations and speakers:
• "Energy Efficient Concentration of Food and Beverage Products" by Erik Desormeaux, Director of Process Development, Porifera
Erik Desormeaux is a Professional Engineer in California with over a decade of experience in the water and wastewater industry, helping to bring forward osmosis (FO) technology to the commercial market. He will be presenting on Porifera’s PFO Concentrator System. The PFO Concentrator is based on Porifera’s proprietary PFO+ROX technology and is an energy efficient, low-cost way to match the performance of an evaporator while generating purified water streams for high purity reuse.

• "Energy Efficient Infrared Drying of Healthy Snacks and Walnuts" by Zhongli Pan, Adjunct Professor, University of California, Davis
Dr. Zhongli Pan will be giving two presentations on infrared heating as an energy efficient blanching/drying method, studied at UC Davis for producing fruit- and vegetable-based healthy snacks and for drying walnuts. Two commercial drying facilities were successfully developed to demonstrate the new processing technologies. The results showed that infrared heating can save a significant amount of energy compared to the traditional processing methods.
