Food & Drink Foundations
The shared block every food and drink site runs on: the food safety floors no measure may cross, hygiene as a hidden utility, effluent and the CCA landscape, and the cold-plant and heat-recovery patterns that recur from brewhouse to dairy. The process courses assume this grounding.
01Food Safety & Hygiene
- ▶The Food & Drink SectorCook, chill and clean: the shape every food and drink site shares, why the sector earns its own foundations course, and how the process courses build on this one.9 min
- ▶Food Safety Sets the FloorHACCP cook, chill and cleaning limits are not energy variables: where the hard floors are, and where genuine flexibility hides behind them.9 min
- ▶Hygiene: CIP, Washdown & Hot WaterThe nightly clean is a hidden utility on every food and drink site: quantifying washdown hot water, and where hygiene rules leave room for efficiency.10 min
- ▶Safety & Hygiene CheckQuiz on HACCP floors, CIP and the washdown utility.5 min
02Compliance & the Cost of the Drain
- ▶CCAs, ESOS & Reporting Across Food & DrinkThe sector Climate Change Agreements and who is actually in scope for ESOS and SECR, plus packaging producer responsibility: the scoping questions every audit answers first.10 min
- ▶Trade Effluent, Water & What Goes Down the DrainStrength-based charging makes food and drink effluent expensive: consents, the Mogden logic, product losses paid for three times, and the water-energy link in every washdown.11 min
- ▶Compliance CheckQuiz on the CCA landscape, scheme scope and effluent charging.5 min
03Shared Utilities & Heat Recovery
- ▶Running the Cold Plant WellSuction and head pressure, defrost on demand, door discipline and the operating habits that decide any food or drink site's refrigeration bill.10 min
- ▶Heat Recovery: The Sector's Recurring MatchesEvery food and drink site rejects heat next to a heat demand: the matching method, the pairings that recur from brewhouse to dairy, and how storage bridges time.10 min
- ▶Utilities & Heat Recovery CheckQuiz on cold-plant operating levers and heat-recovery matching.5 min
