Waste Management

 Looking into the different ways into which the waste produced by the processing of the cassava could be utilized or discarded without causing environmental harm the potential for creation of renewable energy was found.

The cassava peels and waste water from washing and the de-watering process contain many organic compounds which have a detrimental impact on the environment if not properly managed and over produced.

The potential for the creation of Bio-gas was researched and found to be possible and highly effective when incorporated  with animal waste (manure). Rather than chemically inoculating the waste water to produce the gas, it was found that the process through mixing with animal waste is able to produce a larger amount of bio-gas.

    It is important to quantify the energy that could be produced from the waste produced. Maybe it would be sufficient for just internal use or you could look at supplying for other community projects.

    Continue working on literature review until submission as new relevant information is acquired (response to question)

    Good work so far on the waste. Need to be specific so just continue with this.

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...
