Cheese process control
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 1999)
The cheese making process at Anchor Products Hautapu was having difficulty reaching the now outdated New Zealand Dairy Board uniformity targets. Even though there is no longer a direct financial benefit in reaching these ...
Pyrolysis of Waste Plastics into Fuels
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 2010)
Waste plastic disposal and excessive use of fossil fuels have caused environment
concerns in the world. Both plastics and petroleum derived fuels are hydrocarbons that
contain the elements of carbon and hydrogen. The ...
The production of acetylene in a high-intensity electric arc
(University of Canterbury. Chemical Engineering, 1974)
The aim of this work was to develop further a process for producing acetylene in a high-intensity arc first suggested by Abrahamson. This process consisted of ablating a graphite anode into an atmosphere of hydrogen and ...
Electrochemical micromachining of aluminium for microfluidic devices
(University of Canterbury, 2018)
Through-mask electrochemical micromachining (TMEMM) combines photolithographic masking with anodic metal dissolution and thus enables the mass fabrication of microfluidic devices made from metals. To achieve an even removal ...
Distillation column dynamics and control
(University of Canterbury. Chemical Engineering, 1979)
A pilot plant scale, atmospheric pressure, sieve plate distillation column was constructed and fully instrumented. Novel speed controllable pumps were used to control liquid flows. A microcomputer was constructed to provide ...
Experimental Investigation and Mathematical Modelling Of Mechanical Properties Of Shooks And Finger Jointed Timber
(University of Canterbury. Department of Chemical and Process Engineering, 2015)
The issue on variability of mechanical properties within wood has found to be increasingly prominent in recent years. On the other hand, it is known that uniformity of wood properties is essential in quality control in the ...
Whey permeate fouling of evaporators
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 1998)
Whey permeate fouling was studied to gain a better understanding of the processes involved and find methods of alleviation. An apparatus was built which allowed study of fouling under industrial conditions. It was found ...
Development of a novel stimuli responsive filtration membrane using self-assembling peptides.
(University of Canterbury. Department of Chemical and Process Engineering, 2014)
Membrane based separation of specific constituents from a complex mixture is a wellestablished
technology. Numerous filtration membranes have been developed for separations
based on size, charge and hydrophobicity. ...
Development and optimization of an in vitro process for the production of Oryctes nudivirus in insect cell cultures
(University of Canterbury. Chemical and Process Engineering, 2015)
The coconut rhinoceros beetle, an economically important pest of coconut and oil palms, is effectively managed by application of its natural pathogen, the Oryctes nudivirus (OrNV), which act as a bioinsecticide. While this ...
Enzymatic hydrolysis of office paper and newspaper to reducing sugars.
(University of Canterbury, 2005)
Abundant lignocellulosic biomass from municipal solid waste (MSW) is comprised of 40 %
waste paper, which can be utilised to produce bioethanol, a renewable energy resource to reduce
fossil fuel use. Eventhough lignocellulosic ...
