ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .03-Issue .04-February 2024 INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT Introduction is any Water food an essential part of manufacturing plant. It is used as an ingredient, coolant, CIP solvent or in many other chemical based reactions in companies. After the completion of manufacturing process, influent gets converted into wastewater which gets expelled from industry as a byproduct which is also known as effluent. This effluent is defined as a mixture of both toxic and non- toxic materials and it generally contains 99.9% water and 0.1% solids. The main task in treating the wastewater is simply to remove most or all this 0.1% of solids. this Characterization of Wastewater Physical Parameters of the Wastewater Wastewater has physical characteristics such as temperature, solids, odor, and color. In plumbing work the temperature and type of solids in the wastewater are important considerations. Chemical Parameters of the Wastewater Wastewater contains chemicals such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and levels of dissolved oxygen as well as others that may affect its composition and pH rating. Highly acidic or alkaline wastewater is probably require pre- trade waste and will treatment before discharge to the sewer. Biological Parameters of the Wastewater This is the presence of microbial pathogens in the wastewater. Consists of microscopic flora and fauna which are pathogenic in nature and can transmit dangerous diseases such as typhoid, cholera and dysentery.

ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .03-Issue .04-February 2024 BISCUIT PROCESSING Introduction Process Flow Chart of Biscuit manufacturing fats, though The word "biscuit" is derived from the Latin panis biscoctus, "twice-baked bread". Biscuit- covers a wide range of flour baked products, though it is generally an unleavened cake or bread, crisp and dry in nature, and in a small, thin, and flat shape. Biscuits are made from a number of ingredients. Flour is the most basic and important. Different types give a range of textures and crispness. Wholemeal wheat flour is used in the "digestive," "sweetmeal," or "wheat-meal" type of biscuits. Oatmeal forms the basis of oatmeal biscuits. Rice flour and corn flour add flavor. Fats give the biscuits their "shortness." Butter and lard are the main these are augmented by vegetable and other refined fats. For fancy biscuits, sugar is an important ingredient, and introduces a range of tastes. in several forms: processed as caster and Demerara sugars, syrups, honey, and malt extract. These have a range of consistencies and may help to bind together other ingredients. Aerating and raising ingredients, such as baking powder (bicarbonate of soda and tartaric acid), make the biscuit light. Flavorings are also added. These include dried fruit, nuts, chocolate (powder or chips), spices, herbs, and flavoring essences such as vanilla. The dry ingredients are bound (fresh, together with eggs and milk condensed, or dried) or water. Biscuits have a high energy content, ranging from 420 to 510 kcal per 100 g. is added It this stage- Step-1: Pre-Mixing In this section all the ingredients are mixed and the mixer. At poured type of in ingredient, its order of mixing, quantity, and temperature matters. Each ingredient has its own importance and action. The variables among the ingredients are water and ammonium bicarbonate (ABC), where water is used for dough making and ABC is used to increase height of biscuits. Step-2: Mixing Dough formation known as mixing stage. In this step first creaming is performed, all the liquid materials are poured and mixed with sugar to make an evenly mixed liquid, then flour is poured and mixed with the creamed contents. The more we mix the harder dough becomes, less mixing results in short dough. Generally, cookies are short dough biscuits whereas crackers are of hard dough fermented type. After mixing dough with the creamed ingredients dough is formed which is fed to the moulder. Step-3: Molding It is a critical step in biscuit manufacturing process in terms of biscuit finishing and weight. Large weight results in losses in terms of extra weight given to the buyer. This extra weight which gets packed to maintain the written weight is known as giveaway. READ MORE.... PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .03-Issue .04-February 2024 Step-3: Molding It is a critical step in biscuit manufacturing process in terms of biscuit finishing and weight. Large weight results in losses in terms of extra weight given to the buyer. This extra weight which gets packed to maintain the written weight is known as giveaway. In a moulder there is a knife placed in between a forcing roller and a die. There are two controls present 1st knife control in all four directions up, down, forward and back, and press control in both left and right side of the roller. Step-4: Baking (200 d.cel) Baking consists of a number of chambers known as zone. Each zone is an independent oven with its own temperature setting. The large the plant capacity larger will be the number of zones. Biscuit travels in a mild steel continental wire mesh inside the oven. Raising, puffing, and colouring occurs in a sequence with overlapped boundaries inside an oven. Finally, after the oven what is needs to be checked is weather the biscuit is fully baked, even texture, required height, and colour. Biscuit needs to be golden brown to dark chocolaty depending upon the variety. Step-5: Sandwiching/Cooling (5- 10 min) Post baking sandwiching is done for cream biscuits, whereas other varieties are sent to packing after passing tunnel/conveyor. Sandwiching is the process in which a layer of cream is poured between two biscuits and a delicious cream biscuit is produced. through cooling a and being Bakery products, biscuits including wafer biscuits are made from maida, vanaspati or refined edible oil or table butter or desi butter or margarine or ghee. There are various established processes commercially available different manufacturers. Lots of developments are evident in field of machineries and processes. Biscuits are one of the most popular snacks around the world and liked and enjoyed by people of all age groups. It can be taken with anything from a cup of tea or coffee to milk or just nibbled alone. They can be dunked or eaten as is. practiced by Step-6: Packing In packing there are various types of machines which pack the biscuits according to the pack weight i.e., 50g, 100g, 150g etc. and then after complete packing in corrugated fiber carton (CFC) they are sent for loading in trucks.

Plant-based substitutes for meat that have layers of fat and marbling In the traditional meat category, requirements include bacon with layers of both flesh and fat and marbled steaks. Still, there are few options available in the plant-based alternatives area. This is especially true for plant-based goods that have a natural, fibrous structure in addition to marbling or fat layers. Planteneers, a pioneer in plant-based food, and Handtmann, a maker of filling and portioning systems, are teaming up to address this. Planteneers' functional systems and Handtmann's equipment enable producers of plant-based meat substitutes to create marbled pieces with a delicate fibrous structure. The only things needed are the relevant system solutions from Planteneers' FieldMeat and FieldTex series and a recently created adapter for Handtmann's well-known filling and portioning systems.
