John and Bill Bergquist also participated in the EXPO. We had a little fun with the ICE theme.. It’s all about the ICE, ice bath, TPW, Minnesota ice fishing and the interesting combination of all three….

At Burns we believe in bring to your PRT and Temperature Calibration needs a practical and valuable perspective that will have a positive Impact on your Business…. If you missed us, send us a note at: info@burnsengineering.com, comment on the BEblog, give us a call or stop by visit us in Minnesota. Remember if you wait until January, that ice theme comes back in full force.
See you next year at NCSLI 2009 in San Antonio. Metrology’s Impact on Global Trade
Practical temperature measurement insights is Burns’ contribution to Metrology’s Impact on Global Trade…

Did you grab a bobber at the BURNS booth?
Proof that there is more to producing Ethanol than Ethanol..
……………………………………………Food, Fuel, Feed.
Many of the organizations at the FEW event offered various perspectives regarding some of the controversy in the industry.
Fagen Inc. had this sign in their booth…
An interesting and informative Expo….

Ethanol and it’s expansive support industry at the FEW Event have rushed the gates at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. They are talking everything from filter bag systems, mixers, bacteria issues, biodiesel, fermentation and thermal oxidizers…. The conversation even dipped into the area of CIP (Clean in Place), posing the question, “Should the Ethanol fermentation process move toward the sanitary guidelines similar to the food and beverage industry?” This was driven by the co-product “Distillers Grain” entering into the food stream through the animal feed.
The Expo opened Monday evening, breaking the ice with a Grand Opening and massive social in the expo arena. The spirit in the room was an interesting mix of excitement, passion and commitment to all the good aspects and value of Ethanol as a clean and renewable fuel energy source. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t questions and concerns about the interdependency with the other uses of corn, and the economic complexities as the ethanol industry grows…. It sounds like these folks are aware of all of this, and are committed to being good stewards of the resources they consume and at the same time looking for additional Sugar & starch sources to balance the demand for corn. One alternate fermentation product being discussed is ALGAE! Now that’s being creative!
More later from on the Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo and the passionate folks in attendance.

…There’s a saying that goes something like this…
“Take your work seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously.”
It appears the PIA agent at Interphex2008 believes that also…
The work at Interphex is certainly important, but the P.I.A agent found that at ROVISYS, a leading provider of process automation solutions, they take their work seriously, yet are willing to have a little fun as well.

When it comes to biopharma manufacturing processes, we know you’ve got a lot to deal with, like the P.I.A., for instance. (NOTE: The P.I.A. – Process Investigation Association – is in no way related to the FDA, they’re just meaner!)
So for all you folks at INTERPHEX ‘08, beware of being served a summons by our very own P.I.A. agent. When you receive your summons, relax and be sure to visit us Burns Engineering at Booth #458 for relief.
We have trained personnel from Burns Engineering standing by; experts in how temperature plays a role in your biopharma process. They are ready to assist you with solutions and relief, not only from the P.I.A., but from the FDA, CFR, GMP, CAPA, P3-A, ASME-BPE Standards and SIP/CIP system validation and certification issues!
So who knows? With all the temperature-measurement solutions he can lead you to, our P.I.A. agent at INTERPHEX ‘08 could turn out to be your best friend!
(Stay tuned for more reports coming from the show floor of INTERPHEX ‘08 over the next few days.)

“…accelerating regulated products for patient care globally.”
Profound statement from Interphex. We’ll be there.
Get “Served” by the PIA Rep., then get relief from the Burns team!

How important is the requirement for No-Animal-Derived materials?
3A vs. the ASME-BPE? What’s your perspective?
Is irradiation effective as a method to insure safety?
International expansion: Your thoughts on maintaining food safety?
The role of temperature control on your CIP/SIP efforts?
Would better temperature-control improve your efficiency?
Wow. Lots of questions on our minds as we head to Milwaukee next week to participate in MWFPA 2007. The food & beverage manufacturing process is a challenging one. We’ve learned that by being trusted partners for clients in the food & beverage industry for more than 45 years. So we hope to see some old friends and meet some new ones next week.
But why wait? Let’s start the conversation right here: What are the most pressing issues you face in the food & beverage manufacturing process?
Bet we’ve got a few ideas of how temperature measurement can help!
