A Solar Payback workshop was offered on 10 July 2019 to present findings about the use of Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) with focus on the food and beverage industry in South Africa. The event took place at the fourth edition of Food & Drink Technology Africa fair co-located with IFAT 2019 , Africa’s leading trade fair for water sewage, refuse and recycling in Johannesburg.
