Approximation of Bio-gas produced

 Bio-gas approximately formed from the start-up amount of the cassava production

Amount of cassava flour to be produced per year is 125,000 kg

From 1000kg of cassava approximately 300kg of peels are produced

Amount of flour to be produced per day = 417 kg

When, 100kg of fresh cassava produces approximately 250kg of flour

To produce 417 kg flour per day = 1000/250 x 417 kg

                                                                      = 1700 kg of fresh cassava is needed per day

Therefore, when 1000kg fresh cassava gives 300kg peels

1700 kg of cassava = 300/1000 x 1700

                                = 510 kg of peels

Dried Peels

1000kg of peels = 497.01 L Bio-gas

510 kg of peels = 497.01/1000 x 510

                                = 253.48 L Bio-gas per day

 

Fresh Peels

1000kg of peels = 235.1 L Bio-gas

510 of peels = 235.1/1000 x 510

                           = 119.9 L Bio-gas per day

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...
