The greenhouse dryer provided higher drying rates and quality than natural sun drying.
The document discusses various post-harvest handling techniques for fresh horticultural crops including precooling methods. It describes harvesting based on physiological and horticultural maturity. Key post-harvest steps discussed are sorting, grading, packaging, and different precooling techniques like room cooling, forced air cooling, hydrocooling, vacuum cooling and package icing. Maintaining quality during post-harvest handling is important to reduce losses between harvest and consumption.
Sustainability means creating an economic system that provides for quality of life while renewing resources and the environment at rates equal to or greater than consumption without damaging the environment now or in the future. Pinnacle Underlay manufactures rubber carpet underlay using recycled truck tires and milk bottles. It won sustainability awards for making productive use of waste and creating a durable product with less environmental impact than alternatives.
Solid waste management involves collection, transport, and disposal or recycling of garbage, refuse, and other discarded materials. In urban areas, door-to-door collection and sorting of waste occurs. Waste is stored temporarily in bins until transported to landfills for disposal or composting sites. Landfills involve compacting waste into trenches then covering with soil, while composting converts organic waste into fertilizer through bacterial breakdown. Proper waste management helps prevent disease and environmental pollution.
Sustainability means creating an economic system that provides for quality of life while renewing resources and not depleting them faster than the Earth can renew them. Pinnacle Underlay manufactures rubber carpet underlay from recycled truck tires and milk bottles. It is an environmentally friendly product that provides comfort, insulation, and durability. Pinnacle demonstrates sustainability through reuse of waste materials and responsible disposal practices.
The document discusses various methods for preserving foods through drying. It describes the principles of drying foods to reduce moisture levels and prevent microbial growth. Several drying techniques are outlined including sun drying, solar drying, shade drying, and various mechanical dryers like oven dryers, kiln dryers, and fluidized bed dryers. The factors that influence the drying process and steps involved from selection and sorting of foods to drying, sweating and packing are also summarized.
Modern landfills are well-engineered facilities that are more environmentally friendly than traditional landfills. They have several key components, like bottom liners to prevent groundwater contamination, cells to contain waste, and leachate and methane collection systems. While landfills still produce hazardous byproducts like leachate and methane, modern designs aim to control them better. Other modern waste treatment methods like composting and bioremediation can also control pollution more effectively than traditional approaches like incineration, which releases toxic emissions. The most appropriate treatment choice depends on factors like waste type, required cleanup level, and cost.
Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.

1. Food Waste Composting
Tom Kirkland Darren Midlane
President Chief Technical Officer
Tampa, Florida Orlando, Florida
2. Bay Mulch – Our Story
• Bay Mulch Inc, was incorporated as a Florida Corporation in 1996
• Started out as a land clearing and grinding company
• In 2002, opened a yard-waste recycling / mulch production facility in
Pasco County, FL
• In March 2013, opened a compost facility on 42 acres in Plant City, FL.
Processing yard waste and pre-consumer food waste.
4. Wood Processing
• Land clearing debris and materials from landscape maintenance crews,
are carefully separated into yard waste, large limbs, and soil
• Yard waste is ground and utilized for composting
• Large branches and logs are processed into mulches and potting soil
components
• Soil is sold as clean fill; or compost is added to produce top-soil
5. Food Waste Collection Services
• Bay Mulch owns a fleet of specialized collection vehicles for the
efficient handling of food waste
• We provide roll carts to our customers
11. Soiled plastic roll-cart liners are
removed from the emptied carts
and are placed in a roll cart that
stays with the vehicle
12. Composting
• Bay Mulch utilizes Harvest Quest’s inoculant and Modified Static
Aerobic Pile (MSAP) composting methodology
• This method has proven to be very consistent and allows us to
operate our facility without odors and nuisance vectors such as
flies and scavenging birds
• The finished compost is of the highest quality and was recently
approved as an input by the USDA National Organic Program
13. Process Steps - Receiving
A three-sided receiving bunker
is constructed from ground yard
waste
The bunker has a base layer to
provide absorption of any free
liquids
The food waste receiving area is
located on a concrete pad,
which provides an all-weather
operating surface and easy to
clean work space
14.
15. Driving heavy equipment over the food waste
eliminates rolling fruits and vegetables and
facilitates more rapid decomposition
18. Windrow
Construction
• Windrows are constructed to a height of approx. 7 feet
• Inoculant is applied to the ends of the windrow on the surface
• Finally a capping layer is placed over the piles
19. The Capping Layer Provides:
• vector attraction reduction by creating
a physical barrier between the contents
of the pile and the outside air.
• an instant biofilter providing excellent
odor mitigation.
• it insulates the pile allowing for high
temperatures to be achieved all the
way to the edges of the mixed
contents.
• protects the contents of the pile from
external influences, such as heavy
rainfall or extreme cold
20. • The bacteria within the inoculant spread rapidly outward from the
points of application initially populating the outer edges of the
windrow just beneath the capping layer.
• This prolific microbial activity
generates initial temperatures
on the surface of the pile
• The microbes then work their
way towards the center of the
windrow breaking the contents
down from the outside in
• This action increases the
windrows natural chimney-
effect, allowing sufficient air-
flow into the pile
21. • Within several days the whole pile will far exceed 131⁰F (55⁰C)
and elevated temperatures will be maintained for several weeks
• The windrow remains
undisturbed for an initial
28 to 35 day period
• After the initial static
phase the windrow is
turned for the first time
• At this point in time the materials will be sufficiently composted
as not to produce any offensive odors
• Turning the windrow at this point reduces compaction and
redistributes moisture
22. • Following a further 14
days of composting the
windrow is turned a
second time. Again,
moisture is redistributed
and at this stage the
windrow will be entering
the final phase of
composting.
• The properly controlled
marriage between
bacteria and compostable
materials produces
quality finished compost
in 45 to 60 days.
28. So Why Incorporate Food Waste?
• Preserves landfill space;
• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions;
• Diverted tons contribute to mandated recycling targets;
• Composting recycles organic matter and nutrients back to
the soil;
• Redirects funds (tipping fees) to sustainable waste
management practices;
• Speeds up the composting process by providing a more
suitable Carbon to Nitrogen (C:N) ratio;
• Produces a higher value, more nutrient-rich compost
product.
