- Liquid addition
- Hygienising and compacting
- Conditioning with steam

- Drying and cooling
The 2016 course attracted the largest number of delegates (40) to date, including delegates from across the SADC region. They responded very positively and some of the feedback included expressions such as “Impressive”; “Informative”; “Excellent”', and “Learned something that can be implemented in practice”.
The next course is planned for 2018.
