For the climate crisis, it is apparent that a short-term but imminent threat would be needed to rapidly escalate a more decisive reform. But by the time a climate crisis consequence becomes visible, it will already be too late. On a global scale, it’s always someone else’s issue. It is only when consequences become local that urgent changes will often be made. It is therefore the responsibility of policy and decision-makers to start incentivising and implementing decisive change with a greater level of urgency before ultimately the climate crisis creates global damage beyond repair.

Support for businesses embracing sustainability

Recently, the EU’s European Enterprise Network has begun issuing energy efficiency grants of up to €10,000 to SMBs with projects supporting energy optimisation. These initiatives must reduce the company’s overall energy consumption by more than five per cent. In essence, a needed reward for businesses that are adopting sustainability agendas and creating a greener footprint for their operations.

This is a small step in the right direction. After all, a financial incentive is a great way to encourage greener action. Yet more can be done on a government level to support larger sustainability changes before it is too late. Rewarding businesses can be a way to incentivise sustainable-thinking businesses, but a firm hand laying down sanctions is even more effective in ensuring businesses get in line, particularly with those neglecting their sustainability initiatives. Governments hold a responsibility to ensure that businesses start to fall in line on the road to net zero, especially when the climate crisis threatens to cause damage in the years ahead if left unchecked at all.

Crisis-ready plans or not

The UK Committee for Climate Change (CCC) has already stated the UK government has no credible plan when it comes to combatting and standing resilient against the increasing effect of extreme weather and the climate crisis. When it comes to government policy, urgent necessary action and impetus aren’t there. Unless there is a financial motive or a benefit to the national economy, the currently implemented policy doesn’t appear to be interested in investing in meaningful change for the sake of the environment – to the detriment of future generations that will be forced to suffer its consequences.

Summits like COP28 spark the discussion for meaningful climate reform, and most recently it was the source of an agreement signalling the “beginning of the end” for the fossil fuel era by laying the ground for a swift, equitable transition underpinned by deep emissions cuts. Global demonstrations of the power of unity in government are great wins, but action to ensure there’s legitimate follow-through across both governments and businesses is also key – otherwise, it’s all talk and no substance.

Targeting the offenders is key

The food industry, and particularly the food processing sector, is a key target needing scrutiny when it comes to the conversation around industry environmental impacts. Looking at how their current processes operate, many food processing businesses still cling to outdated, traditional processes although technology has advanced for several decades. Optimising processes, especially by embracing electrification and sustainability, is no longer just an option but a necessity for the future.

It’s time for government and policymakers to lead the charge in tackling these mounting climate concerns with meaningful action. Sustainable reform is needed across dairy supply and processing lines. Businesses must be concerned about their climate impact and carbon footprint when making decisions about upgrades to operations, making the effort needed to cut back on their emissions now more than ever.

Cutting back is key on a business-by-business basis. Of course, business leaders are more conscious than ever about making their agendas greener and upgrading to more sustainable technologies across supply and processing lines often also makes them more future proof in the long run. But if governments can support businesses and dairy lines, even more, to help them meet sustainability initiatives on the road to net zero, we can see global change on a macro level as the combination of everyone doing their part.

While urgent action would be the best-case scenario, ultimately it is more realistic to accept that net zero will be a long road – but the destination is worth the longer journey. All that is needed is for governments to steer businesses in the right direction where needed.

For Lyras, as part of its partnership with Expo founding exhibitor Sycamore Process Engineering Ltd, the firm has been working throughout Europe to cut energy consumption at dairies, using its raslysation process.  

Lyras has developed and patented the cutting-edge technology, raslysation, which inactivates microorganisms in both transparent and opaque liquids using UV light. The method is far less energy-intensive than traditional pasteurization and filtration. With raslysation, between 60 and 90% energy and 60 to 80% of water is saved, compared to traditional pasteurization. For example, if a cheese dairy treating 40 tons of whey an hour switches from pasteurization to raslysation, it will save approximately 87% energy, equivalent to four million kWh per year and, based on the EU average, an annual carbon emission reduction of 950 tons. This is equivalent to driving around the world 184 times in an ordinary gas-powered family car. 

One dairy recently installed a Lyras system, and now cuts off 91 per cent of its energy consumption for the inactivation of microorganisms in processing water. Inactivation now happens through UV-driven raslysation rather than traditional heat treatment. The new technology provides full microbial control while bringing massive energy savings and reducing the environmental impact. 

“The dairy has replaced its pasteuriser for water treatment with a raslysation system from Lyras. This ensures the desired water quality and prevents the product from spoiling when it is flushed from tanks and pipes. The risk of glass contamination is also eliminated.” explains senior sales engineer, Allan Holst Sørensen.  

Meanwhile, another Sycamore Process Engineering Ltd partner and fellow founding exhibitor, Wafilin Systems, was involved in this solution, which is now  on the way to, no doubt, another happy customer. This end-to-end process solution has been constructed to the highest quality by Sycamore’s skilled team of welder/fabricators ready for site installation to commence.

The overall approach to delivering this system with the modular design and pre-wiring of the process equipment allows a seamless onsite delivery phase with reduced risks and minimal disruption to production.

This system incorporates pre-filtration duplex filters with auto changeover to ensure the membranes within the nanofiltration (NF) plant are protected from receiving any fines or fat. The NF membrane plant has been designed by Sycamore’s exclusive partners Wafilin Systems and manufactured in-house by its team as part of the end-to-end solution.

Apart from nine-tenths of the energy expenditure, Lyras’ safe pasteurisation replacement, raslysation, also removes all risks of glass contamination. The raslysation system is constructed in such a way that there is no direct contact between the treated liquid, water, and the ultraviolet lamps, while a log 12 reduction is achieved on microorganisms in water.

“The dairy has replaced its pasteuriser for water treatment with a raslysation system from Lyras. This ensures the desired water quality and prevents the product from spoiling when it is flushed from tanks and pipes. The risk of glass contamination is also eliminated.” explains Senior Sales Engineer, Allan Holst Sørensen. He continues:

“The big energy saving is won in that the dairy no longer must heat water to 72 degrees and subsequently cool it to a service temperature of 30 degrees, which is the case in traditional pasteurization. Instead, we effectively inactivate the microorganisms using UV light without having to heat the water. After that, we use a heat exchanger to ensure that the water has the exact desired temperature when utilized. Thus, the water flushes the curd grain out of containers and pipes without changing its texture. If the temperature is wrong, the curd grains retract, ruining the structure of the cheese. With the new raslysation system, the dairy saves energy and money while eliminating the risk of glass contamination and ruined cheese.”

After less than a year, the dairy has earned back its money based on the energy savings alone. After that, the decreased energy consumption will result in pure profit. It is a win-win for all parties, even the climate, as the dairy now emits far less CO₂. Since raslysation only needs electricity, the technology provides a basis for applying for government subsidies.

Valuable proteins are protected due to full microbial control

Raslysation also secures high product quality in opaque liquids like brine, whey, blood plasma, protein solutions, juice and industrially fermented liquids. Because heat is avoided, the product’s valuable proteins are kept in their original form. When the technology is used as a replacement for depth filtration of for instance enzyme solutions, the production process gains higher yield and an increased level of automation.

Lyras’ goal is to implement raslysation across the global process industry and thereby both contribute to reducing the world’s total CO₂ emissions and to increase food safety globally. Raslysation systems are already installed in companies across Europe, Australia and the USA.

Inactivates all microorganisms effectively

Food business operators have various requirements for the quality of the processing water. Usually, you have separate water sources and analyze their quality as part of the manufacturer’s own checks. Since water is often an integral part of food production, the water must be completely clean, for example when it is used to empty tanks and vats for curd grain, when flushing product from process pipes as well as for processing water in cheese production. Raslysation effectively inactivates all microorganisms and can therefore often fully replace the traditional heat treatment of both water and product.

Before: Pasteurization of process water previously entailed high energy consumption as the dairy first heated the water to 72 degrees and then cooled it down to a service temperature of 30 degrees. When cooling failed, the product was often ruined due to the water being too hot during flushing.

Now: Raslysation technology from Lyras inactivates all microorganisms effectively using UV light without heating the water. Afterwards, a heat exchanger is used to reach a desired water temperature of 30 degrees. The water then flushes the curd grain from vats and pipes without changing its structure. This reduces the risk of ruined cheese and eliminates the risk of glass contamination of the product.

Facts about Lyras and raslysation

Lyras has developed and patented the cutting-edge technology, raslysation, which inactivates microorganisms in both transparent and opaque liquids using UV light. The method is far less energy-intensive than traditional pasteurization and filtration. With raslysation, you therefore save between 60 and 90 percent energy and 60 to 80 percent water compared to traditional pasteurization. For example, if a cheese dairy treating 40 tons of whey an hour switches from pasteurization to raslysation, it will save approx. 87% energy, equivalent to 4 million kWh per year and, based on the EU average, an annual CO2 emission reduction of 950 tons. This is equivalent to driving around the world 184 times in an ordinary gas-powered family car.

Raslysation uses a UV light source, combined with a light filter sorting off the unwanted wavelengths. The liquid is led past the light source in a continued, controlled movement making sure that all product is illuminated. All unwanted microorganisms are thus inactivated effectively.

Recent falls in milk prices have previously been attributed to the “spring flush” – when cows naturally produce more milk as they are let out into fields – leading to oversupply. Yet with retailers set to slash the price of milk, plus soaring industry energy bills and rampant labour shortages, milk processing lines need to be doing more to ensure they cut waste costs and save every penny to remain agile.

Mark Andersen, CCO of Lyras, a Danish company specialising in sustainable pasteurisation technology, commented. “The UK dairy industry is facing significant challenges, where intervention is needed to cut waste costs and streamline processing lines. Dairy producers must find ways to reduce the cost of their operations as soon as possible in order to respond to slashed consumer prices.

“In recent years, renewable processing technology has become a reliable alternative to more traditional processing methods. However, the dairy industry remains conservative when it comes to abandoning tried and tested methods for a modern, future-proof alternative. Despite their chosen methods lasting for hundreds of years, producers should not be afraid to turn to a newer, cleaner alternative, especially when the threat of an industry-wide squeeze might push out those unwilling to adapt and eclipse smaller dairies entirely.

“Renewable technology used in the production and treatment of dairy products aids in reducing operational costs, meaning production lines have a greater processing efficiency and can be more financially flexible in the long-term. Ultimately, dairy producers, like any other business, need to act in their best interests to protect themselves, and using sustainable methods means protecting the planet while future-proofing themselves during times of difficulty.”

The post Lyras encourages UK dairies to adopt sustainability practices appeared first on Dairy Industries International.

Following a rigorous testing period, the group has purchased its first UV-based Raslysation system to replace its existing, labour-intensive filtration processes.

Novozymes’ investment in Lyras’ Raslysation technology will help the group reduce energy consumption, bolstering its sustainable strategies, while providing a safe working environment for employees and improving control of unwanted microbial activity during the filtration process.

Steen Skaebaek, senior director at Novozymes said: “As many enzymes cannot withstand high temperatures, our legacy equipment was primarily made up of classic depth-filtration to remove the bioburden in our products. However, this meant our employees replaced heavy sets of filter plates daily as part of the purification process.

“Raslysation removes the need for this process, while helping us take more control of how we create our product. We’re also expecting to see a difference in our next energy bill. Raslysation fits into our green strategy in every way. It’s likely that, with time, the next step will be to install more of Lyras’ UV technology at several of our global sites that produce high-value enzymes and proteins for the food industry.”

Nete Zarp Nielson, CTO at Lyras added: “You have to give large, respected companies like Novozymes props for leading by example and integrating new and green technologies. Novozymes has been a fantastic partner in the process of testing and designing the optimal solution. We are proud that together, we have created the basis for a system that a company with Novozymes’ high level of research would want to invest in and use globally in future.”

Raslysation is a non-thermal treatment that uses UV light at a specific wavelength to pasteurise opaque liquid food and non-food products, including dairy, juice and enzymes. The liquid is directed past the light source in a controlled movement so that everything is illuminated to inactivate bacteria and other microorganisms.

Founded in 2017, Lyras was built on three years of research into sustainable pasteurisation processes and the development of its Raslysation technology alongside public health experts, academics and figures in the dairy and juice industries.

Lyras’ technology has already been sold to companies in the US, Australia, Spain, Sweden and Denmark that operate within the dairy, juice and industrial fermentation industries. In the spring, the method was chosen to secure one of the world’s most expensive dairy products, namely the protein lactoferrin, which is used, among other things, in infant formula. Its team of 68 is based in North Jutland, Denmark and recently won the EY Future Impact Award 2021.

Founded in 2017, Lyras was built on three years of research into sustainable pasteurisation processes and the development of its Raslysation technology alongside public health experts, academics and figures in the dairy and juice industries.

Raslysation is a non-thermal treatment that uses UV light at a specific wavelength to pasteurise opaque liquid food and non-food products, including dairy, juice and enzymes. The liquid is directed past the light source in a controlled movement so that everything is illuminated to inactivate bacteria and other microorganisms.

Lyras’ approach reduces energy use by 60-90% and water use by 60-80% while reducing operational costs and heightening product quality when compared to traditional techniques which require the product to be heated and cooled again.

By creating its Raslysation technology and bringing it to market, Lyras is enabling the processing industry to achieve a reduction in the usage of energy and water in the pasteurisation process, and ultimately accelerate the global reduction of CO2 emissions created by the industry.

Lyras recognises the UK and Ireland as leaders in the liquid food production market, particularly for dairy products, and the importance of the food industry reducing its carbon footprint.

Rasmus Mortensen, CEO at Lyras said: “For the past 150 years, pasteurisation has been a process focused on heat. At Lyras, we have invented a technology that uses light to remove pathogens from liquid products. This is a much gentler approach to processing opaque liquid products, which not only maintains standards but enhances the quality of the product at the end of the process by causing less impact to the nutrients and taste.

“Lyras is quite literally shining a light on an industry that has been a source of high levels of water and consumption, as well as a significant producer of CO2. Our goal is to support the processing industry to reduce energy and water consumption and usage, and ultimately create a better, more sustainable way to produce products that millions of people use and consume every day. This is especially important during the energy crisis, plus an increased focus on the shelf life of food products.

“Bringing our innovative technology to the UK and Irish markets is a significant step forward, and we’re excited to see the positive impact that we can have to improve the sustainability and quality of liquid products being produced here.”

Lyras’ core systems, the Raslysation Sirius and the Raslysation Spica, are both easily installed solutions that are scaled and customised to industry specifications. The Sirius system operates using specially designed light filters to treat bacteria and spores in light-sensitive food and non-food liquids such as dairy products, wine and juice. The system saves enough CO2 to travel around the world by car 164 times. The Spica system operates on the same principles as the Sirius but is designed to treat low transparency liquids that are not light-sensitive, including tap water, brine and non-food liquids.

Lyras’ technology has already been sold to companies in the US, Australia, Spain, Sweden and Denmark that operate within the dairy, juice and industrial fermentation industries. In the spring, the method was chosen to secure one of the world’s most expensive dairy products, namely the protein lactoferrin, which is used, among other things, in infant formula.
