Bio-gas and its Uses

Biogas is a renewable source of energy which is produced through the process of Anaerobic digestion by the mixture of waste material and animal waste.

It is a composition of gases which are mainly methane and carbon dioxide but can contain small amounts of other gases including hydrogen sulphide, siloxanes and some moisture.

The percentage of each gas contained in the biofuel varies since the composition depends on the type of waste used in the process.

USES 
In instances where the situation calls for natural gas, it can be used directly such as combustion. These include :
  • absorption heating and cooling
  • cooking
  • space and water heating
  • drying
  • gas turbines
Other uses include:
  • fueling internal combustion engines
  • fuel cells for production of mechanical work/ electricity

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...
