Since organic rice storage silos were faced with an insect problem, an owner solved this problem using the expert system (ES) in the controlled atmosphere process (CAP) under the required standard, fumigating insects with an N2, reducing O2 concentration to less than 2% for 21 days. This article presents the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) assisted ES successfully solved this problem. First, CFD was employed to determine the gas flow pattern, O2 concentration, proper operating conditions, and a correction factor (K) of silos. As expected, CFD results were consistent with the experimental results and theory, assuring the CFD’s credibility. Significantly, CFD results revealed that the ES controlled N2 distribution throughout the silos and effectively reduced O2 concentration to meet the requirement. Next, the ES was developed based on the inference engine assisted by CFD results and the sweep-through purging principle, and it was implemented in the CAP. Last, the experiments evaluated CAP’s efficacy in controlling O2 concentration and insect extermination in the actual silos. The experimental results and owner’s feedback confirmed the excellent efficacy of ES implementation; therefore, the CAP is effective and practical. The novel aspect of this research is a CFD methodology to create the inference engine and the ES.

Crispy Rice-berry Snack is a product made from broken rice-berry rice that has been processed into a snack that is thin and crispy, bite-sized. Broken rice-berry rice is cooked, finely ground, and mixed with other ingredients to increase its nutritional value, such as adding plant seeds, adding plant protein nutrients, and then forming it into sheets using heat. The resulting product is a thin sheet, purple-brown in color, crispy, and has the smell of the ingredients used in the production process. It does not contain sugar or sweeteners. It is used as a snack with tea or coffee. Crispy Rice-berry Waffle is a product that contains complete nutrients, including carbohydrates, protein, and fat, which are derived from the ingredients in the production formula.
