Seminar Content What is stainless steel and why it is used? An overview of stainless steel families and grades. Why stainless steels are corrosion resistant, limitations to corrosion resistance and why the post-fabrication finishing process is so important for assured durability and long life. Selection of seal and gasket materials is also covered. Design layout This section looks at the feasibility of selecting point drainage and/or linear drainage solutions for new and refurbishment projects. Load classes and wheel loads You will find out the effects on installed drainage products subjected to solid and pneumatic tyres and why it is so important to know what type of traffic will be passing over the drainage system. Load class classification will also be explained.
Vital project information check-list The key points the specifier needs to cover to ensure a long and reliable installed product life. Material Selection An overview of austenitic stainless steel is provided and an explanation of Useful References A list of handy references relating to applicable construction industry Standards and advice on stainless steel.

Seminar Content Legislation, Building Regulations & Standards A review of the legislation regarding wastewater disposal and how this integrates with Water Companies and Environment Agencies. What the Building Regulations state and review of applicable standards relating to grease management systems. Sources of grease & environmental issues Food production and preparation generate different types of fats, oils and grease (FOG’s) and can have a serious environmental impact to the kitchen and receiving drainage system. Grease management system performance The principal methods of various grease management techniques available are discussed together with comments on wastewater quality output from various management systems.
Grease trap sizing Potentially the most problematic area for the specifier and the pitfalls explained. A reliable and repeatable methodology using a simple design tool based on BS EN 1825 is demonstrated for quick and repeatable use. Best practice installation, commissioning & maintenance Tips on optimum location, operation and maintenance of grease management systems. Useful References A list of handy references relating to food hygiene Regulations, applicable Standards and advice on stainless steel.
