The disclosure further relates to a dry-riser system comprising the dry-riser and a fire hose, and an engineering structure comprising the dry-riser.

Abstract: An on-line system and method for buyers and sellers of international container transportation services is disclosed. Specifically, the system offers importing and exporting customers the opportunity to request and select specific service patterns offered by participating carriers in the booking of full container shipments. The system includes user interfaces that allow a shipper to track and trace containers across multiple carriers and an event notifications system, which notifies the user when an event has or has not occurred.

Abstract: A cheese press for a plurality of rows of cheese moulds is constituted by a plurality of individual cassette shaped pressing units (30) each adapted to receive a row of moulds or mould batteries and each ceilingwise provided with pressing means (68) for pressing the moulds. Each of these units can be made as a lightweight construction e.g. of stainless sheet steel and is preferably made as a heat insulated tube, which is endwise closable so as to be vacuum resistent. Especially the production of Cheddar cheese is highly accelerated when the pressing is effected under vacuum. The cassette units may be arranged in a conveyor system for consecutive cooperation with a loading and unloading station, or they may be arranged more or less stationarily for cooperation with means for transporting the moulds to and from the cassette units.

Abstract: A process for increasing the capacity of plants for membrane filtration of milk or milk products, whereby prior to the membrane filtration, the milk or milk product is usually subjected to one or more pretreatments selected from the following:(a) heat treatment for bacteriological reasons,(b) fat standardization in view of the fat content of the product,(c) homogenization in view of the physical and organoleptic properties of the end product, and(d) pre-acidulation in order to influence the solubility of the ash components of the milk.According to this process, prior to the membrane filtration, said milk or milk product is additionally subjected to an enzymatic treatment with curdling enzyme under agitation of the milk or milk product to form an integrated dispersion of a coagel in whey. The resulting concentrate may be used as feeding additive or feeding starting material as well as a nutritive medium by microbial processes.

Abstract: A process for preparing cheese-base by concentrating milk in a manner known per se through ultrafiltration combined with diafiltration and evaporation, whereby the retentate from the ultrafiltration is inoculated with an acid culture before the evaporation and after evaporation acidifies to completion in packing.The process may be carried out during a normal working-day, and it ensures a high yield in the preparation of cheese.
