The Study of the Method of Fight Against Formation of Polarizing Layer at the Process of Ultrafiltration Concentration of the Skim Milk

The description of experimental set and the method of processing of the results of the study of the method of fight against formation of polarizing layer in the process of ultrafiltration concentration of skim milk raw material were presented. The results of experimental studies relative to the sparging method application for the prevention of polarizing layer in the process of membrane processing of the skim milk and its influence on the capacity of ultrafiltration membranes were offered. The mathematical models were constructed on the base of regressive equations of factorial experiment using the method of the raw material sparging above the membrane surface for selection of technological parameters of the process of ultrafiltration concentration of the skim milk. The rational working parameters of the process of ultrafiltration concentration of the skim milk using the sparging of the skim milk by the gas bubbles in the direct closeness to the membrane surface were determined. Such working parameters are: pressure– 0,4...0,5 MPa, temperature of skim milk– 40...50 ºС, frequency of sparging of skim milk– 0,10...0,15 min-1, pressure of sparging must be 0,56...0,58 MPa

Study of Combined Cleaning Process of Sunroot Tubers

Elaboration and improvement of the process of raw material cleaning is an urgent scientifically technical process. The one of most prospective directions of vegetables cleaning process intensification is the elaboration of combined methods of their cleaning. The improvement of tubers cleaning process is based on the combination of thermal processing of sunroot tubers by steam and the process of further mechanical additional cleaning.The experimental studies of the influence of parameters of the process of sunroot thermal processing by steam on a tuber surface layer transformation were carried out. The influence of the steam pressure and the duration of the process of tubers thermal processing on the depth of the thermal processing of tuber surface layer and also on the effectiveness of the peel separation were studied. At the same time there were realized the studies as to the influence of the duration of tubers mechanical additional cleaning process on cleaning quality parameters. The experimental apparatus and correspondent method that allow to carry out investigations of the combined process of sunroot tubers cleaning with a possibility to determine the influence of all its parameters on the percent of raw material losses and cleaning quality were elaborated. Rational regimes of the combined process of sunroot tubers cleaning were established

Processing of Noisy Digital Images with Use of Evolving Autoencoders

A promising class of neural network models used recently to solve the problems of recognition of noisy images are denoising autoencoders. In particular, the evolutionary approach can be effectively used in DAE to determine the network architecture, weights and learning algorithm. The proposed neural network evolving autoencoder allows efficient processing of noisy images due to the iterative learning procedure even in the presence of local distortions. When using the EDAE for determining the network architecture, weights and learning algorithm, standard evolutionary procedures (population initialization, population assessment, selection, crossover, mutation), as well as the evolutionary algorithm for the ANN adjustment and special chromosome formats are used.The proposed approach to filtering and recognition of noisy images based on the EDAE application is promising for environmental monitoring of landscape and industrial area

Studying a New Anti-polarization Method in the Process of Ultrafiltration of Skimmed Milk

The paper presents an experimental research and new methods of processing the findings on the ultrafiltration concentration of skimmed raw milk with the use of a new method to prevent a polarization layer on the membrane. The paper reveals the research findings on the bubbling method effect on a polarization layer in the membrane processing of skimmed milk and on the performance of ultrafiltration membranes. The devised mathematical models are based on the regression equations of the factorial experiment on the selection of technological parameters of the UF-concentration of skimmed milk with the use of the feedstock bubbling over the membrane surface. We have determined the rational working parameters of the process; these working parameters are as follows: the working pressure is 0.4–0.5 MPa, the skimmed milk temperature – 40–50 °C, the skimmed milk bubbling frequency – 0.10–0.15 min-1, and the bubbling pressure – 0.56–0.58 MPa

Modeling of the Process of Peeling Jerusalem Artichoke in Order to Determine Parameters for Conducting Production Process

We proved the need to create equipment for the implementation of a combined process of peeling the tubers of Jerusalem artichoke. A combined peeling process is proposed, which is based on a combination of thermal and mechanical effects on the peeled product.An experimental installation was designed to study the process of thermal treatment of Jerusalem artichoke.It is proven that an increase in steam pressure and duration of the process of thermal treatment lead to the increase in depth of the thermal treatment of the surface layer of Jerusalem artichoke and reduce the efforts required to separate the rind from the tuber. We determined that an increase in duration of the process of mechanical post-peeling increases the percentage of peeled tubers of Jerusalem artichoke, but results in growing losses of raw material. It was established that reducing the effort required to separate the rind of Jerusalem artichoke at thermal treatment makes it possible to reduce duration of the process of mechanical post-peeling. We determined that an increase in depth of the thermal treatment of the surface layer of Jerusalem artichoke leads to increasing losses of raw material. It was proven that the tubers of Jerusalem artichoke, which have a longer storage period, require an increase in duration of the process of their mechanical post-peeling to ensure the required quality of peeling.We determined rational parameters of the combined process of peeling Jerusalem artichoke, which enable to significantly intensify and mechanize the peeling process, to reduce losses of raw material and to improve quality of peelin
