Design of a Processing Room for Red Pork Offal

Abstract

This project aims to propose a design for a red offal processing room in a pork processing plant that processes 500 pigs per day or 80 pigs per hour. Each pig weighs approximately 105 kilograms, with 3.47% of the weight consisting of red offal. The process involves separating liver, gall bladder, heart, lungs, spleen, and kidneys as required. These parts are then chilled in cold water to reduce their temperature to below 7°C before packaging and sealing. Sorting is based on the number of pieces and weight, depending on the type of product. The processing times of sorting chilling and packaging vary depending on the product's type and size. The design was developed using data collected from the current production line and referenced standards. The room layout was planned using Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) principles to analyze activity relationships within the room and define functional areas. Equipment sizes and the required number of operators were calculated to ensure optimal use of space. The red offal processing room was designed with an area of 56 square meters. After the layout design was completed, a 3D model was created using SketchUp 2024, and the workflow and operations were simulated and analyzed using Flexsim 2024

Objective

บริษัท เบทาโกร จำกัด (มหาชน) ได้มีแผนการขยายโรงงานแปรรูปสุกรทั้งในประเทศและต่างประเทศ การออกแบบกระบวนการผลิตจึงเป็นสิ่งสำคัญที่ทำให้โรงงานที่จะก่อตั้งนั้นสามารถใช้งานได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพทั้งในด้านกระบวนการการผลิตและความสะอาด เพื่อทำให้สินค้าที่ส่งมอบแก่ผู้บริโภคมีคุณภาพที่ดี โดยผลิตภัณฑ์ที่สำคัญของโรงงานแปรรูปสุกร ได้แก่ กลุ่มชิ้นส่วนสุกรตัดแต่ง และกลุ่มเครื่องในสุกร ซึ่งประกอบไปด้วยเครื่องในแดง และเครื่องในขาว โครงงานนี้ได้รับมอบหมายให้ศึกษากระบวนการทำงานเพื่อออกแบบห้องเครื่องในแดงให้รองรับการผลิตที่สูงขึ้นและมีความหลากหลายของผลิตภัณฑ์มากขึ้น โดยกระบวนการทำงานภายในห้องถูกต้องเป็นไปตามหลักการปฏิบัติที่ดีสำหรับโรงแปรรูปสุกรของกรมปศุสัตว์

PRODUCTION OF PYROLYSIS OIL FROM LANDFILLED PLASTIC WASTES FOR UTILIZATION AS A RENEWABLE FUEL

The aim of experiment was to study the pyrolysis oil derived from sorted landfill plastic waste that had been buried for 15 years by the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization. The pyrolysis oil was produced using a Fixed-Bed Reactor at 450 °C for 1.5 hours with LPG as the feedstock, with the goal of using the pyrolysis oil as an alternative fuel. The experiment was conducted under four different conditions : (1) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has not been washed but has been reduced in size, (2) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has been washed and has been reduced in size, (3) plastic waste buried in a landfill that not has been washed and has not been reduced in size, (4) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has not been washed and has been reduced size, with activated carbon used as a catalyst. The experiment revealed that three products were produced : Oil, gas, and char in different quantity. The pyrolysis oil were compared in terms of quality based on pH, Heating value, Moisture content, Functional group, and Chemical Composition. The pyrolysis oil we obtained will be referenced according to the criteria from the Department of Energy Business. The analysis results of the pyrolysis can explain which conditions are suitable for replacing fuel oil in industrial It is therefore one of the approaches that helps manage plastic waste in landfills, reducing the quantity by converting it into usable energy.

Handheld Mercury Meter

This work presents the fabrication of the handheld meter for potentiometric detection of Hg (II). The meter was constructed based on using an ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) platform. The developed meter provides high accuracy and precision (%Recovery was in the range of 92.55 - 109.32 and %RSD was 2.38). It was applied to the analysis of cosmetic samples. The results by the developed electrode were not significantly different at a 95% confidence level compared to the results by using ICP-OES.
