“…Dairy processors have been innovative in response to restructuring processes, and innovative activity may be identified in each part of the industry. Structural changes derived from gradual market liberalization and processes of re-regulation provide a particular impetus (e.g., Banks and Marsden 1997;Straete 2006), while the dairy industry has also been subject to increasing regulation related to environmental concerns, food safety and hygiene (Burrell 2004;Honkasalo et al 2005;DEFRA 2007), which in turn has provided a spur to technical change and innovative activity (Hitchens 1999;Dewick et al 2007;Pagan et al 2010). The industry has also been active in responding to (as well as shaping) changes in consumer preferences through the development of new products and new marketing and organizational structures (e.g., Goff and Griffiths 2006;Tunick 2009;Mintel 2012).…”

Rationalization and restructuring within the UK dairy industry since the 1980s has left regions, such as South West Wales, which previously hosted considerable processing activity, with a much reduced sector. While retaining a significant milk producing capacity, the region has lost much of the added value activity represented by dairy processing. Trends within the UK sector as a whole continue in the direction of greater centralization in production and distribution, and increasing operational scale, R&D, and innovation activity. However, while some large corporate processors remain in the region, small‐scale and micro‐scale dairy processing activity has also been developed. This paper examines how general restructuring processes have impacted on the industry in South West Wales, and at local responses, which have included the development of new businesses, new product ranges, and other local innovations. The paper discusses how strengths in the dairy industry of South West Wales are being utilized in response to the continuing process of restructuring that is taking place in the industry. The role of public sector actors in promoting and regenerating the sector is examined, and included, along with other territorial characteristics, as an important dimension in supporting the pattern of innovation and development in the region.

Microscopic Insights into the Effect of the Initial Gas–Liquid Interface on Hydrate Formation by In-Situ Raman in the System of Coalbed Methane and Tetrahydrofuran

The serious issues of energy shortage and greenhouse gas emission have led to the development of coalbed methane (CBM) with new commercial ramifications. A hydrate-based gas separation technology is introduced to recover methane from CBM. However, the mechanism of hydrate nucleation needs to be clear for enhancing the hydrate formation rate and gas recovery efficiency. In this work, we studied, by means of in-situ Raman spectroscopy, the microscopic characterizations of hydrates forming in/around the initial gas–liquid interface in the case of CBM and tetrahydrofuran (THF). It is found that the hydrates accumulate as a film with horizontal crevices in the initial gas–liquid interface. These crevices prevent the hydrate film from hindering gas–liquid contact and limiting hydrate formation. Raman spectroscopy results illustrate that the initial gas–liquid interface shows a positive impact on water aggregation, and that the holding gas molecules stay stably with the water molecules. Nitrogen molecules encage into the cavities of THF hydrates along with methane molecules. For the interface and hydrate layer, water aggregation is evaluated by the Raman intensity ratio of hydrogen-bonded water (BW) and free water (FW) without any hydrogen bonds, abbreviated as I BW / I FW . A value of I BW / I FW higher than 0.85 can symbolize the occurrence of hydrate nucleation in the interface and help assess the hydrate formation.
