Shirley MacDonald, Manager of Human Resources for DME travelled to Winnipeg to accept the award from Education and Lifelong Learning. Because DME's products are diverse and its markets are subject to change, it was felt that providing continuous learning opportunities for the entire workforce was crucial. Having a well-trained staff is a key component of DME's manufacturing quality products. Together with Worplace Education - PEI, a project team guided the learning initiatives including a needs assesment and several programs. DME looks forward to continuing the successful workplace education programs in the future.
Most breweries operate vessels under pressure.
Low pressure vessels are considered below 15 psi and high pressure vessels are considered to be operated in excess of 15 psi. Any vessel under internal pressure applies a certain amount of force that could prove dangerous if not contained properly. Each pressure vessel is required to have a pressure vacuum relief valve to protect your vessel from implosion or explosion. If during any part of the brewing process this valve actuates under pressure or vaccuum either by blowing off or pulling a vacuum it is then required to be removed, dismantled and cleaned. This valve is not considered reliable to operate once gas or liquid is passed through the valve.
