Diageo: Brewing investment plans in Ireland

(C) B2Bioworld 201212-01-2012. Diageo is announcing its decision to make a capital investment of €153 million in a brewing centre of excellence at St James’s Gate, Dublin. It will result in a rejuvenation of the historic St. James’s Gate Brewery and the creation of 300 construction. David Gosnell, President, Diageo Global Supply; “The decision to consolidate to the St James’ Gate site is fundamental to delivering the competitiveness necessary for the long term sustainability of our brewing in Ireland. This is a significant investment and an expression of confidence by Diageo in our Irish operations.”

 

(C) B2Bioworld 2012

The scope of the proposed brewery development includes (subject to planning permission):

  • A new brewhouse facility on the Northlands of St James’s Gate (Victoria Quay).
  • The new brewhouse volume will have a capacity of approximately 7m Hectolitres.
  • A new grain intake building and associated silos.
  • An extension of the existing Fermentation Plant to the southwest of the new brewery.
  • Extension to utilities generation and distribution.

In 2008 the centralisation of all Diageo brewing activities at one site was announced, including the ceasing of brewing activities at Kilkenny and Dundalk by the end of 2012. These sites are now scheduled for closure in July 2013 (Dundalk) and December 2013 (Kilkenny) subject to planning and construction timelines at St James’s Gate.

Norit: AsepticPro Solid for Processing of Beverages and Food

aseptic fillingTo appeal to customers, foods have to taste good, stay fresh, look natural and generally make a good visual impression. That spells out increasingly demanding industrial processing with aseptic conditions to make sure final products maintain a fresh appearance. But how can this process be reliably checked? How can you get sterile and undamaged samples of products into the laboratory for analysis? Is there any solution to the problem of reliably removing solid and viscose products from lines or containers?

Norit Südmo has found a solution: AsepticPro Solid and it has developed it into a fully automatic sampling system for solid products. This system consists of a basic mechanical unit, control components and a newly developed sample bag. AsepticPro Solid closes the critical gap between sterile product line/sterile containers and sterile sample treatment in the microbiological laboratory. The best thing about AsepticPro Solid is the fact that laboratories can now rely on the sample originality and in turn production can rely on the laboratory.


This is How the Sampling System Works:

AsepticPro Solid is connected to a pipeline, making it an integral component of a product line (such as a fruit boiler). Now, a valve piston can be used to push one or several samples out of the line into a chamber during regular production without using damaging pressure. Then the sample (65 ml) is pushed from this chamber directly into a plastic bag and pieces as large as Ø 30 mm pass through its opening (the sterilized bag was docked beforehand and its plug was sterilized with steam together with the chamber). A machine uses pressure to close the bag as soon as the desired sample quantity/quantities is/are in the bag. Up to now, all sampling is fully automatic.

Now a production employee dedocks the bag from the system and transports it to a laboratory. The neck of the bag is securely locked with a compression seal and it can also be protected by a disinfecting safety cap. The bag can even be given an optional bar code to guarantee that it is properly allocated in quality control and protocols can be transmitted to a central control point for each sampling via interfaces.

This means that the laboratory gets a sample that is taken and transported under aseptic system conditions. For all practical purposes, you no longer have the nuisance of “wrong positives” while faulty operation or concealed sources of contamination are ruled out. AsepticPro Solid not only offers a fast and reliable microbiological analysis in the laboratory, but also a look “through the pipe” to guarantee the visual appearance and consistency of the final product. There are neither undesired heat effects, nor shear or compressive forces with automatic sampling. In other words, the sample represents the “original”.
