Expert Talks from the NIRAS Team
Michael Bannerman
Sustainability Consultant
Burton upon Trent, United Kingdom
Mike will be speaking on the role of heat pumps in decarbonising food and beverage manufacturing, highlighting how correct system sizing can significantly improve performance and reduce emissions.
“Heat pumps offer a practical route to lower Scope 1 emissions when they’re applied to the right part of the process,” says Mike. “It’s not just about installing a system—it’s about designing it to match demand profiles, which is where the real efficiencies are found.”
Mike’s session will focus on:
- Identifying the best-fit applications for heat pumps in F&B
- The importance of system sizing and load profiling
- Long-term energy and carbon savings from optimised solutions

Tony will address the importance of managing risk in hazardous environments, with a session focused on compliance legislation, including ATEX, DSEAR, and HAZOP assessments.
“Compliance isn’t a tick-box exercise—it’s fundamental to keeping people safe and operations running smoothly,” says Tony. “We’ll be looking at the consequences of overlooking these requirements, and how to build them into project planning from day one.”
