Description
Book SynopsisEnergy efficiency, environmental protection, and processing waste management continue to attract increased attention in the food processing industry. As with other industrial sectors, reducing costs while also reducing environmental impact and improving overall sustainability is becoming an important part of the business process. Providing practical guidance, Energy Efficiency and Management in Food Processing Facilities explores energy efficiency technologies, emerging energy efficient processes, and methods for converting food processing wastes into energy.
Organized around five central themes, the book explores:
- Fundamentals of energy conservation, analysis, and management
- Energy conservation technologies as applied to the food processing industry
- Energy efficiency and conservations in current food processing systems
- Emerging systems
