Grain Crop Drying, Handling and Storage
363 Chapter 16 Grain crop drying, handling and storage INTRODUCTION within the crop, inhibiting air movement and adding Although in many parts of Africa certain crops can be to any possible spoilage problems. The crop must produced throughout the year, the major food crops therefore be clean. such as cereal grains and tubers, including potatoes, One of the most critical physiological factors in are normally seasonal crops. Consequently the food successful grain storage is the moisture content of the produced in one harvest period, which may last for only crop. High moisture content leads to storage problems a few weeks, must be stored for gradual consumption because it encourages fungal and insect problems, until the next harvest, and seed must be held for the respiration and germination. However, moisture next season’s crop. content in the growing crop is naturally high and only In addition, in a market that is not controlled, the value starts to decrease as the crop reaches maturity and the of any surplus crop tends to rise during the off-season grains are drying. In their natural state, the seeds would period, provided that it is in a marketable condition. have a period of dormancy and then germinate either Therefore the principal aim of any storage system must when re-wetted by rain or as a result of a naturally be to maintain the crop in prime condition for as long adequate moisture content. as possible.

Analysis of Ozone Technology in Commercial Kitchen Ventilation TB16-1003
Analysis of Ozone Technology in Commercial Kitchen Ventilation TB16-1003 February 1, 2016 A recent addition to the commercial kitchen ventilation industry has been the introduction of ozone to the kitchen exhaust process. This new exhaust method utilizes an ozone creation device that feeds ozonated air into the exhaust airstream following the greasy air’s departure from the hood and coinciding with its entrance into the duct. Manufacturers of ozone technology hold that a two-stage filtration method of utilizing traditional hood filters (Stage 1) coupled with ozonated air (Stage 2) outperforms standard mechanical-only filtration for grease and odor reduction. This technical bulletin investigates this claim in order to determine whether or not ozone technology is an effective and reliable means of grease and odor reduction. Background The basis of the ozone exhaust theory rests on the creation of ozone, produced by Corona Discharge (CD) ozone generators in most cases (e.g., one manufacturer uses proprietary Corona Class Cells [CGCs] for this process). As power is supplied to the CGCs, a strong electric field is created over a dielectric and between an air gap. The dielectric allows the charge to be spread over a large area as opposed to remaining at a single point, as in the case of a spark. As oxygen molecules (O2) flow through the gap, they are exposed to the electrical discharge and split into two monatomic oxygen atoms - (O ). These freed oxygen atoms then combine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone molecules (O3) [1]. Fig 1: Corona Discharge Cell Configuration Source: Principles of Ozone Generation, Wayne Smith, Watertec Engineering Pty Ltd It is important to note that the type of feed gas, the power input/frequency, the unit construction and the temperature and humidity level of the air all greatly affect the amount of ozone generated. -
