R3 NORDIC INVITES TO
EHEDG advanced course in Hygienic Engineering & Contamination Control
26th – 28th of October 2021
FORCE Technology, Brøndby, Denmark

Aim

The advanced course gives knowledge and insight in hygienic design of process equipment, lines
and facilities in food, biotech and pharma industry as well as their suppliers. Investment in
hygienic design can when optimally used give optimal product safety and constant product quality
as well as lead to diminished down time, maintenance costs, cleaning costs and environmental
impact. It deals with how to fulfil present legislation and standards and anticipate future changes.

Participants

The advanced course is targeted for service producers in food, biotech and pharma industry e.g.
mechanical engineers. It is also meant for managers and supervisors, constructors, project
managers as well as sales engineers, who are active in using, building or servicing equipment
for industries relying on hygienic or aseptic processing. This course is excellent for the technical
and quality assurance staff, who needs knowledge in hygienic engineering, in these industries.

Content

The course is given in English from a practical point of view. The theoretical fundamentals of the
different subjects are given in a concise way, continuously relating these to practice through
pictures or examples. Design guidelines are dealt with in terms of the basic properties
experimental evidence. The course gives you tools to solve hygienic problems within your own
organization. The course is interactive due to training in small groups. On the last course day,
there will be an Exam. EHEDG certificate will be sent by airmail to participants approved in the
exam. The course trainers are Alan Friis, Ferdinand Schwabe and Gun Wirtanen.
