Heat Treatment Workshop scheduled for May

The Sixth Heat Treatment Workshop, which brings awareness and promotes heat treatment as a methyl bromide alternative, is scheduled for May 13-15 at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan. Propane is used in the heat-treating process. Researchers, heat-treatment practitioners and heat treatment service providers will share practical information on heat-treatment technology, and participants will gain first-hand experiences by observing heat treatment of Kansas State’s Hal Ross Flour Mill. The workshop is sponsored by PERC, and in part, by the United States Department of Agriculture, Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service, through a grant under the Methyl Bromide Transitions Program. It is organized and hosted by the Department of Grain Science and Industry at Kansas State University. The workshop, at $150 per person, is limited to the first 50 registrants.
