Differences in the design of food processing and non-food processing plants

Many of the elements of plant design are the same for food plants as they are for other plants. However, there are many significant differences which stem from the ways in which the processing of foods differs from the processing of industrial chemicals or other products. Such differences occur because of the following considerations: The storage life of foods is relatively limited and strongly affected by temperature, pH, water activity, maturity, prior history, and initial microbial contamination levels. Very high and verifiable levels of product safety and sterility have to be provided. Foods are highly susceptible to microbial attack and insect and rodent infestation. Successful processing requires the use of conditions, which ensure the dominance of desired strains of microorganism’s growth or activity. Enzyme-catalysed processes, like microbial growth and fermentation are very sensitive to temperature, pH, water activity and oth...

Cross-contamination in Food processing Plants

Cross-contamination in food processing facilities can occur in ways that may not even be visible as  there are many unexpected ways in which bacteria can travel. Awareness of these potential causes of cross-contamination will aid in the maintenance of a sanitary food processing environment . Post-Harvest Contamination Workers that go from the area of sorting the raw material upon arrival to processing zones are susceptible to spreading bacteria from unclean hands touching food or food-contact surfaces. Cross-Contamination from Storage Bins Stacking storage bins directly onto soil or areas outside the processing facility and then bringing the containers into the facility can also bring bacteria into a clean environment.   Contamination from Footwear When employees walk in fields, compost sites, or other areas outside of clean zones, they can bring bacteria into a processing facility on their feet.    Contamination from Mobile Equipment The same challenge a...

PROS and CONS of BIOGAS

Image
  Advantages Free ,renewable source of energy Reduction of deforestation in the cases where firewood was previously utilized Little operation skills or maintenance required Contributing to reducing the emission of gases that contribute to global warming Deforestation and soil erosion can be reduced Disadvantages May not be able to fully meet the energy requirements it is unable to replace all types of energy Cannot be easily stored (low energy density per volume) and needs to be continuously used Gas production below 15°C is no longer economically feasible Diagram showing the process cycle for the creation of Biogas https://sswm.info/factsheet/direct-use-of-biogas  https://www.homebiogas.com/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-biogas/
