Use of Biogas in the Facility

REASONS TO CHOOSE BIO-GAS

  • Capturing methane emissions contribute to curb the greenhouse effect by limiting the amount of harmful gases released in the atmosphere.

  • It is therefore a Zero emission energy source, meaning it emits no harmful pollutants or disrupts the climate.


It was found that the Bio-gas Produced per-day for both the Start-up amount and the Desired goal amount, was not enough to supply a day's work. Therefore the decision of allocating it as a reserve source of energy was chosen.

This will be done by the implementation of a Proper gas storage system that would allow for the safe collection of gas I.E. A regulated system kept under required conditions to prevent unwanted events such as leakages.

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...
