Journal of Korean Society of Water and Wastewater, volume 20, issue 4, 2006, Pages 487~498
The oxidation processes of metal catalysis were practically applied into the flexographic inks wastewater treatment to derive the most effective and economical system among all the processes of iron-salts coagulation, iron-catalyzed air oxidation, and coagulation followed by biological treatment. The iron concentration and pH were optimized as
and 5.5~6.0, respectively, for all the oxidation processes. At the optimal reaction conditions, the removal efficiencies of
and Color were as follows for the respective process: i) 75%
and 77% Color removals for iron-salts coagulation, ii) 91% TCODMn and 90% Color removals for iron-catalyzed air oxidation, iii) 74~92%
and 81~90% Color removals for coagulation followed by biological treatment. Based on the economical and technological aspects, iron-catalyzed air oxidation was confirmed as the most effective process in the treatment of industrial wastewater.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) has been well known for the gravity separation process. The solids to be separated are transferred from the water body to the water surface using micro-air bubbles. DAF has also been used for enhancing solids-liquid separation of industrial and municipal wastewater by adding a its unit parallel to a sedimentation unit to reduce the hydraulic loading in the sedimentation clarifier. This study was to investigate flotation characteristics of activated sludge by the recent DAF technique without chemical agents. In addition, the effect on temperature in flotation of activated sludge and the thickening degree of activated sludge were studied.

Seo, Dae-Keun ; Wang, Chang-Keun ;
Journal of Korean Society of Water and Wastewater, volume 20, issue 4, 2006, Pages 509~518
Although final water of domestic water treatment plants almost contains highly corrosive characteristics, the countermeasures for eliminating internal corrosion of pipeline system have not been conducted yet by controlling water quality in plants. The technologies of internal corrosion control are to control water quality parameters(pH, Alkalinity, and Calcium Hardness etc.) and to use corrosion inhibitor. Under the conditions of domestic water treatment, first of all, the technologies of adjusting water quality parameters has to be considered. Otherwise, The technology of using corrosion inhibitor is favorably thought to be applied with the technology of adjusting water quality parameters in accordance with the result of availability for water treatment process. Since the technology of adjusting water quality parameter influences on other water treatment processes, the guideline of water quality management to be apt for water quality characteristic is required to be estabilished. While the selection of proper chemicals and technologies is dependent upon the raw water characteristics and water treatment process, typically, the technology of
additions is considered more effective than other technologies in order to adjust pH and Alkalinity, increase
and form

Moon, Jin-Young ; Hwang, Yong-Woo ;
Journal of Korean Society of Water and Wastewater, volume 20, issue 4, 2006, Pages 519~526
In this study, the major operating factors in SND(simultaneous nitrification and denitrification) using bioreactor packed with submerged cilia media and granular sulfur such as variation of nitrification rate, organic matter removal efficiency and denitrification efficiency in different DO concentration were mainly evaluated. Synthetic wastewater and actual sewage were used as influent wastewater. Experiment with synthetic wastewater as influent wastewater was divided into three phases with the adjustment of DO concentration. As the results, nitrification efficiency and T-N removal efficiency in the Phase 3(DO 1.0~2.0 mg/L) were 99% and 52.3%, which is significantly greater than those in other two phases. Also, loading rate and denitrification efficiency of SCPGS(Submerged Cilia media Packed with Granular Sulfur) were calculated as
and 50%, respectively. On the other hand, nitrification rate was decreased from 99% to 64% according to the DO concentration with the variation from 3.0~3.5 mg/L(phase1) to 0.4~0.6mg/L(phase2). Although the nitrification rate was decreased in 64% according to the variation of the DO concentration, T-N removal rate was rapidly increased to 49% by increasing of the denitrification efficiency. Experiment with actual sewage as influent wastewater was carried out to evaluate efficiency of SCPGS in real operation condition of full-scale sewage water treatment plant. At the time, T-N removal rate in this experiment and full-scale wastewater treatment plants were given by 43% and 20%, respectively. The above results indicate that SCPGS can be used as an advanced treatment process for economical efficiency considered.

Park, Dooho ; Choi, Hanjoo ;
Journal of Korean Society of Water and Wastewater, volume 20, issue 4, 2006, Pages 527~534
Demand side management(DSM) is the newly raised issues in the water resources management in recent. Many of the policy tools among demand management, the most important measures might be a pricing system. Furthermore, the responses of consumers on the price for water consumption level is the key factor for policy making. Here, we estimated panel data for 167 regions and over 7 years periods in Korea. Compare to other previous studies the price elasticities were somewhat low. The estimated price elasticity was -0.05. It was because the short term estimated period may derive lower elasticities. However, it might be a recent trend after the continuous increment of water pricing and consumers not willing to decrease their residential water consumption with increasing water pricing. According to this results, water saving effect might be much smaller than we expect with pricing policy. However, It does not imply there is no price effects on water consumption and it's still meaningful as a tool of water management.

The Ozone oxidation process was applied to increase the efficiency of reuse process when treating the secondary effluent by the membrane system. This paper focus on decreasing efficiency of membrane fouling, because of membrane fouling reduction by ozone and evaluation of application of the ozone oxidation. The feed water was secondary effluent from BNR process. The result shows that the ozone pretreatment can reduce membrane fouling effectively. Also, the improvement of treated water quality was obvious. The reduction of the membrane fouling led decrease of following pollutant and increase of lnner adsorptive ability of hydrophilic organic matter and decrease of molecular weight. MF membrane process alone can meet the domestic reuse water standards. And ozone pretreatment process also can increase the removal rates of turbidity, COD, nitrogen, and color.

The current conditions of large water mains are evaluated by deteriorations and the causes of deterioration are investigated through visual assessments in the field, mechanical tests and analysis of chemical compositions in laboratory for each pipe material, unlined cast iron pipes (CIPs), ductile iron pipes (DCIPs) and steel pipes (SPs) Tubercles and scales from internal and external corrosion of unlined cast iron pipes were identified as the causes of functional performance limitations in large water mains. It is investigated that main causes of internal and external corrosion of water pipes are from lots of depositions of organic and inorganic substances on pipe surface, concentrated pitting, and uniform corrosion by local or global exfoliation or detachment of lining and coatings of DCIPs and SPs. Internal and external corrosion depths of CIPs were higher than those of DCIPs and SPs. Consequently, total corrosion rate summed internal and external corrosion rates of CIPs also were shown to be higher than those of DCIPs and SPs. The failure time from hole generation of CIPs by total corrosion rate was predicted to be taken sixteen years, and DCIPs and SPs were twenty-six years and one hundred and fifty three years. And longitudinal deflection of investigated water mains were not happened and mechanical strengths such as tensile strength, elongation, and hardness also were mostly suited to Korea Standards. It was thought that the weakness of tensile strength of one sample(S-11) was, however, due to higher carbon contents(%) in CIPs. Pipe deterioration score of S-46 was 55.2 and was preferentially assessed to be rehabilitated.

Song, Yu-Kyung ; Jung, Chul-Woo ; Son, Hee-Jong ; Sohn, In-Shik ;
Journal of Korean Society of Water and Wastewater, volume 20, issue 4, 2006, Pages 559~571
The overall objective of this research was to find out the interrelation of coagulant and organic matter during rapid mixing process and to identify the change of organic matter by mixing condition and to evaluate the effect of coagulation pH. During the coagulation, substantial changes in dissolved organics must be occurred by coagulation due to the simultaneous formation of microflocs and NOM precipitates. Increase in the organic removal efficiency should be mainly caused by the removal of microflocs formed during coagulant injection. That is, during the mixing period, substantial amount of dissolved organics were transformed into microflocs due to the simultaneous formation of microflocs and NOM precipitates. The results also showed that 40 to 80% of dissolved organic matter was converted into particulate material after rapid mixing process of coagulation. During the rapid mixing period, for purewater, formation of dissolved Al(III) (monomer and polymer) constant by rapid mixing condition, but for raw water, the species of Al hydrolysis showed different result. During the rapid mixing period, for high coagulant dose, Al-ferron reaction increases rapidly. At A/D(Adsorption and Destabilization) and sweep condition, both
and dissolved Al(III) (monomer and polymer) exist, concurrent reactions by both mechanism appear to cause simultaneous precipitation.

Lee, Eun-hyoung ; Seo, Dongil ; Hwang, Hyun-dong ; Yun, Jin-hyuk ; Choi, Jae-hun ;
Journal of Korean Society of Water and Wastewater, volume 20, issue 4, 2006, Pages 573~584
This study was carried out to investigate the causes of fish kills in the Yudeung Stream in Daejeon, Korea using literature reviews, governmental and our water quality monitoring data of the study site, rainfall data, intensive water quality monitoring during rainfall events, sediment pollutant contents and laboratory bioassay tests. Fish kill in urban streams can be caused by combined effect of reduction in dissolved oxygen concentration, increase in toxic material or increase in turbidity in waterbody due to introduction of surface runoff or effluent of combined sewer overflows after rainfall from the watershed areas. Despite of extensive and intensive field surveys and laboratory tests, it was found that those conventional methods have limitations to identify causes of fish kills in urban streams. It would be necessary to use dynamic water quality modeling to predetermine the range and level of water pollution in the stream and automatic water quality monitoring system that can collect water samples and detect water quality continuously.
Causes of Fish Kill in the Urban Stream and Prevention Methods II - Application of Automatic Water Quality Monitoring Systen and Water Quality Modeling
Lee, Eun-hyoung ; Seo, Dongil ; Hwang, Hyun-dong ; Yun, Jin-hyuk ; Choi, Jae-hun ;
Journal of Korean Society of Water and Wastewater, volume 20, issue 4, 2006, Pages 585~594
This study focused on the causes of fish kills and its prevention methods in Yudeung Stream, Daejeon, Korea. Intense field data, continuous water quality monitoring system and water quality modeling were applied to analyze the causes. Pollutant can be delivered to urban streams by surface runoff and combined sewer overflows in rainfall events. However, water quality analysis and water quality modeling results indicate that the abrupt fish kills in the Yudeung stream seems to be caused by combined effect of DO depletion, increase in turbidity and other toxic material. Excessive fish population in the study area may harm the aesthetic value of the stream and also has greater potential for massive fish kills. It is suggested to implement methods to reduce delivery of pollutants to the stream not only to prevent fish kills but also to keep balance of ecosystem including human uses. Frequent clean up of the urban surface and CSO, installation of detention basin will be helpful. In the long run, it seems combined sewer system has be replaced with separate sewer system for more effective pollutant removal in the urban area.

Journal of Korean Society of Water and Wastewater, volume 20, issue 4, 2006, Pages 595~604
The growth characteristics of Commercially Developed Nitrifying Bacteria (CDNB) were studied in laboratoryscale. CDNB, a pure, artificially isolated bacterium, was cultivated to produce Cultivated Nitrifying Bacterium Group (CNBG). The average ammonia removal rate of CDNB was 0.0234g
MLSS/hr. CNBG was produced in the batch reactor and Specific Nitrification Rate (SNR) was determined at 0.0107g
MLSS/hr. The SNR of CNBG was lower than the SNR of CDNB because the diverse and multi-cultured microbial growth took place during cultivation. The effect of the temperatures and the mixing ratios of sewage and culture solution on the SNR of CNBG was studied. The SNR of CNBG, 0.0107g
MLSS/hr at
, decreased to 0.0048g
MLSS/hr at
, and temperature coefficient (
) was calculated to be 1.07. With the varied sewage mixing ratios, the SNR of CNBG remained unchanged. Activated sludge reactors maintaining an MLSS of 2,000mg/L at HRT of 4 h were operated under conditions in which dosage of Concentrated CNBG Solution (CCNBGS, 10,000mg MLSS/L) and application method of CNBG were varied. The reactor with 20mL of CCNBGS took shorter time to oxidize
reaching 1mg/L than the reactor with 5mL of CCNBGS showing that higher dosages were associated with greater mass removal of
. However, the total removal was not great. In terms of different methods of CNBG application, reactor seeded with 20mL of CCNBGS took 3days to reach 1mg/L of effluent ammonia concentration while reactor dosed with 20% (v/v) CNBG implanted media took 2days. Both the control reactor and the reactor dosed with 20% (v/v) media only did not reach 1mg
after operating 18days. The reactor with CNBG implanted media had the highest
removal rate because of maintaining high concentration of Nitrifying Oxidizing Bacteria (NOM), and is regarded as an appropriate method for the activated sludge process.

Lee, Sangeun ; Kim, Hyunok ; Park, Heekyung ;
Journal of Korean Society of Water and Wastewater, volume 20, issue 4, 2006, Pages 605~616
This study focused on analyzing effects of transparency on the water system specifically and quantitatively. It was observed that transparency can give a water utility considerable motives for improving its performance and make the service price meet the production cost. System simulation made sure that these functions of transparency will eventually result in the better service for customers and the more favorable finance for a water utility. Results of this study can help some decision makers and utilities to sort out positive countermeasure for improving transparency.

Park, Sangcheol ; Han, Mooyoung ; Dockko, Seok ; Kwon, Soonbuhm ;
Journal of Korean Society of Water and Wastewater, volume 20, issue 4, 2006, Pages 617~626
Compared with the sludge from gravity sedimentation, it is difficult for operations to settle the sludge occurred from dissolved-air-flotation (DAF). Even though there are some problems in treating DAF sludge with conventional gravity thickeners, those has been used until now. In this study, Solid Flux theory for gravity thickening was applied to the Solid Flux of DAF sludge through flotation in order to develop new methodology for treatment of DAF sludge. Also, characteristics of DAF sludge were investigated. From the experiment results, it was revealed that the higher the polymer dosage, at fixed the solid concentration, the greater the rising velocity becomes. When we applied solid flux theory, the relationship, which is similar to that of gravity thickening, has been achieved. Also, we could find the proper polymer dosage from the rising velocity is about 50 mg/L. Consequently, the limiting solid flux can be derived from the relationship between the total solid flux and the withdrawal velocity of DAF sludge. Furthermore, the factors, such as solid concentrations, bubble volume, pH, zeta potential, and temperature, have effects on the flotation and sedimentation for DAF sludge treatment.

Kim, Geonha ;
Journal of Korean Society of Water and Wastewater, volume 20, issue 4, 2006, Pages 627~635
Combined sewer overflow (CSOs) is a primary diffuse source degrading water quality of urban streams. In this study, CSOs caused by 5 different rainfall events at an urban watershed located in Daejeon city were monitored for the indicator microorganism concentrations. Event mean concentration (EMC) of the indicator microorganisms were: total coliform =
; fecal coliform =
; E.coli =
; and Fecal Streptococci =
. In addition, coliform concentrations were well correlated with suspended solid concentrations and the first flush effects were identified. Settling tests were carried out to estimate removal rate of indicator organisms by sedimentation from CSOs. As microorganisms are discharged in association with suspended solid, ten minutes of settlement can lower 44% of indicator microorganism leading.

Journal of Korean Society of Water and Wastewater, volume 20, issue 4, 2006, Pages 637~643
The bench-scale chlorine exposure study was performed to investigate the effect of pretreatment by free chlorine and monochloramine (
) on the performance of RO membranes made of polyamide (PA). Feed monochloramination at 2mg/L did not cause significant productivity loss compared to free chlorine. However, metal coagulants reacted with monochloramine, the PA membrane suffered from a gradual loss of membrane integrity by chlorine oxidation, which was characterized as a decrease in salt rejection. Especially, RO membranes exposed to alum coagulants with monochloramine revealed the salt rejection lower than those exposed to iron coagulants. XPS membrane surface analysis demonstrated that the chlorine uptake on the membrane surface increased and carbon peaks were shifted significantly when exposed to alum coagulants with monochloramine.

Sandra & Christalyn met while they were studying Industrial Design at RIT. Both shared a passion for helping children and were independently creating objects to be used in learning environments as part of their thesis research. Sandra was working on trying to commercialize her thesis design, Vidget and Christalyn's product Digit Widgit was in the making. They decided since their products rhymed, it was meant for them to join forces and work together to enter the market. A little while later, the dream of Viggi Kids was born. Creating play environments that help to stimulate and foster children's learning is the foundation of Viggi Kids. They take a "whole child approach" targeted toward not just literacy learning but also inspiring the child's creativity, imagination and self-confidence.
Sandra and Christalyn celebrate the design thinking process and are dedicated to sustainability. They plan to provide customers with the "story" of how their products "came to life." Through videos, images and interactive graphics, the story of how the product concept started, its development and manufacturing process, and what it took to get to the end-user will be shared as part of the story-telling process.
She has co-authored/co-presented papers at the International Conference on Teaching and Learning and Electronics & Sustainability: Design for Energy and the Environment Symposium and at the IDSA International Conference in the area of using design in the classroom to inspire sustainable change.
Sandra shares her passion for Design Thinking as an Adjunct Professor at RIT in the School of Design and Saunders College of Business. She also coaches multidisciplinary student teams on the design and new product commercialization process in the Simone Center for Student Innovation & Entrepreneurship. Sandra challenges herself and students to go beyond the unknown and explore the impossible to find the possible.

Taxes and Subsidies in the Transforming Hungarian Economy
One of the important neglected issues in discussions of East European transition to the market is the structure of the government's budget, especially the roles played by taxes and subsidies. This paper reviews the Hungarian fiscal situation in 1990, the most recent year for which reasonably complete data could be found, and classifies the data in a manner which accords with economic principles. The authors explain how the `state' should be defined in Hungary, discuss the main forms of taxation and the various forms of subsidy and social welfare provision. Despite the removal of many former subsidies, the paper finds that many implicit and unjustified subsidies remain, and they continue to distort resource allocation in undesirable ways. What is required to improve the situation is better information (so that a paper like this would no longer be a major research exercise!), further reform of the tax and public expenditure system, and extensive training of Hungary's public officials.

Very early in the life of catapulter.com, before we hired a designer, our team drew up a basic user interface that we believed would work well for the site. We haggled over details for a few nights, and finally came up with a pretty solid UI.
Fortunately for us, one of our mentors set time for us to chat with a UI/UX expert before we hired one.
The first thing he asked us was: "how many people did you test with?"
Of course, we had asked a few people what they thought, but we hadn't put together a preset, regimented UI/UX test. We had intended to have a designer with UI experience take our initial PowerPoint mockups and move to this step.
It turns out, we didn't have to go to that level. As a professional UI/UX guru, one of our mentor's typical first steps is to hold very rough UI/UX tests:
- Sketch out a rough wireframe of your site, with every piece needed for the user to complete your target action
- Write up a questionnaire to be used consistently across users
- Find a bunch of people in your target audience who have no idea what the site is about
- Ask them to "use" the wireframe as if it were a website – e.g. for us "plan a trip"
Admittedly, we weren't entirely convinced this would be useful, with such a simple sketch of our idea…but once we started, we quickly realized that the important part was NOT having users visualize the site.
The important part was that users knew what information they wanted next, and they expected that to be available. Just like on a live website, if the required info isn't readily available, the user will get confused, frustrated, and/or leave your site altogether.
Given this, much of the value in the test was not asking the user "what do you like/dislike", but watching the user navigate, asking what they're thinking at each step of the process, and recording as much information about their experience as possible.
One of the best pieces of advice that we received during our intial design phase was from fellow Betaspringer Andrew Draper of Manpacks:
"At every step of the way, get it in front of users as soon as possible. You think you know the main issues with your site, but as soon as you show users, you're going to get bombarded by complaints, and see that the biggest issues are actually three things you never even thought about."
GET it "on paper"
Our next step was throwing together a PowerPoint of the site. I admit that this is mostly because I'm an ex-consultant, but one of its best features is that you can create working links between pages, convert to a PDF, and send this linked mock-up of your website by email to users. If you don't like PowerPoint, there are a ton of other mockup and wireframing options. Ones that I've played with include:
- Cacoo – An online mockup tool that can be used collaboratively like a wiki
- MockApp – A package of images of iPhone buttons for Photoshop or PPT that can be easily cut/pasted to create a realistic iPhone mockup (Hint: Use this in PowerPoint, print to PDF, and download the $0.99 GoodReader app to use with working links)
- There are many other, likely better mockup tools that I haven't worked with – A recent, pretty comprehensive list of other mockup tools can be found here
As you go through the UI/UX tests, as Andrew said, you'll notice there are a lot of things that need to be changed, many of which you haven't thought of. At this point, you'll begin to realize another very important rule of UI/UX design: you're never done!
The biggest misconception many first-time web designers have is that "we'll design and build the thing, then we're done." Never. You'll always have something that doesn't work just right, new features that a ton of users want (expect, really), and you'll need to continue to iterate.
Therefore, the key takeaway is: don't half-ass this initial mockup, testing and design phase.
Test with good amount of users (10-20), incorporating their feedback and iterating as you go. Once you've begun to understand what your users want, not just what your team thinks they want, you can move on to spending your time and money on building the site.
This way, you'll start from a much stronger, user-validated initial design, you'll understand what additional functionality users want you to build, and you'll have already seen (and hopefully circumvented) many of the pitfalls that can make a user leave your site immediately and never come back.

Unanswered: Report Filtering
I have created a database that has several reports that categorize records based on specific values. Everything works great with the exception that at the bottom of this report it compiles all the remaining records (those without a selected value) as a category as well. Can someone please provide me with a good solution for removing the category that contains these unspecified values? Thanks in advance for any advice!

how have you defined the the 'compilation' of remaining records?
Access reports work on queries or domain functions.
my guess is you are using a domain function such as DSUM, DCOUNT etc and if so you need to apply the filter to those domain functionsI'd rather be riding on the Tiger 800 or the Norton

- SMB 3 is the default protocol for sharing files in OS X Yosemite. SMB 3 helps protect against tampering and eavesdropping by encrypting and signing data "in-flight." In addition to SMB 3, OS X Yosemite maintains support for SMB 2, AFP and SMB network file sharing protocols, automatically selecting the appropriate protocol as needed.
- SMB 3 provides end-to-end encryption to protect data and secure communication on untrusted networks. SMB 3 uses AES CCM for encryption to ensure communications between client and server are private.
- To guard against tampering, SMB 3 adds a signature to every packet transmitted over the wire. SMB 3 uses AES-CMAC to validate the integrity of the signature, ensuring the packets have not been intercepted, changed or replayed and that communication between hosts is authenticated and authorized.

Baines wants further progress
Leighton Baines has urged his Everton team-mates to build on their weekend win over Wigan.
Last Updated: 01/09/09 12:07pm
Full-back Leighton Baines has urged his Everton team-mates to build on their weekend win over Wigan and get their season back on track.
The Toffees picked up their first points of the season on Sunday with a last-gasp 2-1 win over the Latics, with Baines providing the winner from the penalty spot.
Everton fans saw the debuts of £10million Russia winger Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and £5million defender Sylvain Distin against Wigan as the money from Joleon Lescott's sale was put to immediate use by manager David Moyes.
The Lescott transfer saga appeared to affect the Everton camp, who lost their opening two games, but with the defender now a Manchester City player, Baines believes their turbulent start is behind them as they continue to rebuild.
"There are new players here and more arriving," he said. "The feel about the place is that we are moving up to a different level with a bigger and more experienced squad.
"That is positive. We already have some fine players here with terrific youngsters already here, now we have added top internationals to that group with more to come.
"We have had such a small squad, and that has hindered us in the past. But now the situation is changing and we can all now move on into the new season with confidence."
Transfer Targets
Moyes is expected to seal the £5million signing of Dutch international Johnny Heitinga before Tuesday's transfer deadline passes and is also thought to be targeting Tottenham's David Bentley.
However, Baines' place in the side does not appear to be in jeopardy and he welcomes the late burst of signings being put in place by Moyes.
"We have to keep pace. You look at what other teams have done in the summer, clubs we finished above last season. Aston Villa, Manchester City and Spurs have all spent big and added good new players.
"They have brought in quality players and they had all started the season well. We had struggled a bit, so the win over Wigan has got us up and running.
"It is a challenge for us, we know we have to perform even better than last season now just to maintain what we achieved."
Everton reached the group stages of the Europa League after their midweek result over Czech side Sigma Olomouc and Baines is hoping for a better run than last season's early exit.
He said: "It was important to qualify for the group stages in Europe too. Last season we didn't manage to do that by getting past the qualifying round and we felt that all our good work in getting to that stage had been wasted.
"But we have done it this time and I can't wait for the Europa League games to start.
"We are also relieved to have won a league game at last. Now it is important to kick on, to go on a winning run and for me as well to maintain some consistency."
England Hopes
Everton's first win of the league campaign comes just before an international break and after making Fabio Capello's England squad back in March, the full-back is hoping to go one better by earning his first cap.
"I've had a taste of the England squad so the World Cup finals are always at the back of your mind, I just have to play well and hope to impress the England coach.
"I am keen to get back into that. But that will only happen if my own form is good and the team continue to do well.
"We couldn't afford to go into the two-week international break without getting a league victory on the board. The whole place will feel a lot more positive now we have got that win.
"If you go into the break without a victory it leaves everybody tense and uncertain."

NSF helps EU commercial food equipment market verify HACCP compliance
The firm said HCV EU (HAACP Compliance Verification) is the first compliance verification program to cover hygienic quality of commercial food equipment following European guidelines and legislation.
It is aimed at equipment used in commercial kitchens of restaurants, hospitals and schools, catering services etc and not industrial machines used to produce or process food, covered by the standards of EHEDG.
Program essentials
HCV EU covers food contact materials, cleanability and hygienic design, and equipment performance such as the capability to hold food at safe temperatures and to verify efficiency of cleaning in place (CIP), the automatic cycle to clean and sanitize closed and pressurized inaccessible systems.
NSF International based the program on existing European legislation and regulations such as EC 1935/2004 for food contact materials and EN 1672-2, the European standard that establishes a general code of practice for cleanable design.
It offers specifiers, including US-based restaurant chains and retailers, the ability to define basic food safety principles and translate them into equipment requirements.
Specifiers (an organization that buys commercial food equipment) can then check for these requirements when buying and selecting equipment. This helps to minimize risks such as contamination, food poisoning and an unhygienic environment, so protects the brands, said NSF.
Dan Fone, business development director for NSF International's Global Food Division, said the number of questions received at the European office, for example from quick service restaurant chains with headquarters in the US, operating internationally, was increasing.
"They asked us how to specify requirements to assure the same hygienic quality that they can rely on inside the US as a result of the NSF Food Equipment certification program (which covers requirements in the FDA Food Code)," he told FoodQualityNews.
"We can only guess why the number of questions we received was increasing. It might have to do with the overall growing interest in food safety and related subjects in Europe, and with the fact that compliance with the European Regulation for materials in contact with Food, EC 1935/2004 is increasingly enforced."
Fone said a second reason to launch the program was the increasing focus on HACCP.
"The hygienic quality of food equipment plays a major role in controlling risks and therefore should play a major role when checking HACCP pre-requisites. Yet the majority of official references to the hygienic aspects of food equipment in documents such as the Codex Alimentarius, are phrased in very general and multi interpretable terms, such as 'cleanable'."
The program does not cover any aspects related to the health and safety of personnel (such as electrical safety of the equipment) or any verification or certification of good manufacturing practices, or quality management.
Uptake and expansion
"It's early days, so not yet possible to predict the uptake, but we expect to be able to announce that several of them will ''adopt'' the program for their restaurants in Europe later this year and that a large number will adopt it in the longer run," said Fone.
"Other stakeholders which are studying the program are food equipment distributors; or platforms offering food equipment from many different sources, eager to include information on the hygienic quality or to even require it.
"On the manufacturers' side we had already been working with several manufacturers prior to the launch. Their primary wish is to independently prove the hygienic quality of their equipment to their customers and to increase the value of their brand.
"Of course we expect a major increase in the interest once HCV compliance will be required by major specifiers such as the international quick service restaurants we are currently in touch with."
Fone said it had the intention to extend the program to other regions.
"The strength of the program will lie in the fact that the basic requirements – with regard to the hygienic design, cleanability and hygienic performance - will be the same worldwide," he said.
"The only aspect that will or can be different in any of the regions where we (will) offer the program, will be the local legal material requirements. These requirements are not only a very important aspect of the hygienic quality but are also enforced in most regions, therefore they need to be included.
"In case the program will be offered in a region without any local food contact material requirements, there will be a choice of requirements to include, e.g. the European (EC 1935/2004) requirements or the US (FDA 21 cfr) requirements."
Products which are verified and found to comply will be registered in the online public HCV database on the NSF website, and the manufacturer receives a formal confirmation letter of compliance.
The annual procedure to maintain the registration includes the requirement to provide a statement in which the manufacturer confirms that the equipment covered has not been modified.
Any equipment that is used in a commercial kitchen is covered including items used to prepare, display or store food. It can also include equipment not used for these purposes and/or is not in contact with food, such as extraction hoods, light fixtures etc., of which cleanability is of importance as it can lead to risks in a HACCP controlled environment.
Ann Willems, unit manager, food equipment Europe at NSF International, said: "The main challenge in assessing the hygienic quality of food equipment, is to verify whether the design and construction of a machine is 'cleanable'- this is typically very open to interpretation and therefore requires a specialist service to ensure the correct judgement calls are made."

USN's Muscle Fuel Mass is a meal replacement formula that is designed for active people who demand the benefits of top quality proteins, increased amounts of complex carbohydrates and nutrients for optimum health and muscle performance. This product is specially designed for individuals that find it hard to gain mass (hard gainers), as well as endurance athletes that need a high carbohydrate meal to complement a strenuous endurance-training program. Since carbohydrates are "protein sparing", this will help these athletes not to lose unnecessary muscle with this kind of training programme. Studies suggest that using a variety of protein substrates may work best for improving protein synthesis and overall health.
Unlike other meal replacement formulas, USN's Muscle Fuel Mass is virtually sugar free and also offers a variety of anti-catabolic amino acids. This unique formula combines high biological value protein with very low glycemic index carbohydrates to build and repair muscle tissue while balancing nitrogen levels during workouts.
Just enough carbohydrates are used to fuel a strenuous endurance workout and replenish depleted glycogen. It is designed to pack muscle on even the hardest of the hard gainers with elevated protein-to-carb ratio and a level of quality protein that guarantees an anabolic environment of muscle growth and performance. USN's Muscle Fuel Mass is a complete meal that is very low in fat, great tasting and easily digested.


text: Ive tried claybar and that didnt work. Also in the front end there was a bit which I was able to remove with some simple green and lots of scrubbing. Id rather not use simple green on my paint, even if the paint sucks. So how can I remove this stuff without getting all fancy and having to order tools online? Also it is not raised, but rather flat on the paint, like oxidation kinda. Thanks
