Criação de novo procedimento de engenharia que possibilite a rastreabilidade das tubulações de uma indústria química

The number of piping in an industry is high. Through this piping are conducted several kind of products at several temperature and pressure conditions. In a chemical company, the piping quantity conducting harmful chemical products to human health and to the environment is higher. Nowadays the theme sustainability is often mentioned and harm to environment may cause irreversible damage to the human being, to the fauna, to the flora and to company´s credibility. In this context, controlling over the piping to avoid accidents is mandatory. The objective of this monograph is to create a procedure which enables the chemical companies piping traceability. This monograph analyses the several existent traceability system in the three economy sectors and approaches the technical question of industrial piping in order to create a procedure that achieves its objectives as a technical document and at the same time be economically feasible, with low complexibility level and high practicability. Some possibilities to elaborate this procedure had been studied, as the creation of an alphanumeric code and making with a chisel in the pipeline based on ASTM F2897 and the use of chips to store the information. However, the procedure which best meet the requirement as low cost and high applicability is filling out an electronic plan with information about welding process, welding certification, welding consumables and inspections

Composição físico-química e propriedades tecnológicas da farinha de folhas de mandioca

Cassava leaves can be considered an important nutritional source when compared to other commonly consumed vegetables leaves. Cassava leaves have high levels of protein, fiber and minerals, and arestill underexplored due to the lack of information regarding the use of them as afood product, as well as, their use as an industrial raw material. The consumption of cassava leaves in fresh form is impractical due to the presence of cyanide, thereby it is required a pretreatment to be performed to reduce this component. The objective of this study was to produce and characterize the four made with cassava leaves as its chemical composition, color, indices of absorption and water solubility, and pasting properties, aiming to provide information of interest for possible application as an ingredient in the food industry. Cassava leaf flour showed low moisture content (6.6 %)and significant amounts of fiber (30.68 %), protein (23.00 %), and total carbohydrate (22.27%). Drying and milling processes allowed to obtain a flour with a low content of total cyanide (0.3 mg 100g-1 ), and the presence of vitamin C (56.6 mg 100g-1 ) and β –carotene (38 mg 100g- 1 ). The color analysis of cassava leaf flour showed low lightness with, predominantly, green and yellow pigments. The cassava leaf flour presented good solubility (14.85 %) and water absorption (6.87 g gel. g-1 ). Pasting properties showed a low peak of viscosity and a higher final viscosity with a retrogradation tendency, indicating a low capacity of this flour to form gel. The flour of cassava leaves can be a good source of nutrition when used as a food ingredient in soups and pasta. However, it is not indicated to products that require high gel formation.

Composição físico-química e cor de clones de mandioquinha-salsa

This study aimed to characterize the physical and chemical composition of ten items of arracacha grown in the municipality of São Manuel for the 2009 harvest. In the roots of the clones BGH (4560, 5741, 5744, 5746, 5747, 6414, 6513, 6525 and 7609) and the cultivar Amarela de Senador Amaral the characteristics evaluated were: color (L *, a * and b *) and moisture, ash, crude fiber, raw grease, protein, reducing sugars, total sugars and starch. After obtaining the data, an analysis was performed for the variance of test F and comparisons between the means made by the Tukey test at 5% probability. There was no significant difference to the results of luminosity (L *) while BGH 6414 and BGH 5744 showed the highest values for chroma and * BGH 5741, BGH 6414, BGH 7609, 'Amarela de Senador Amaral' BGH 5747 presented the highest chroma values for b *. Clones BGH 7609 and BGH 6414 showed significantly higher levels of dry matter and with the potential yield of agro-industrial processes it would be best suited in the form of frying. The materials that showed significantly larger amounts of ash were BGH 6525, BGH 5747, 'Amarela de Senador Amaral ", BGH 4560, BGH 5746, BGH 6513. Regarding the contents of fatty matter BGH 6525, BGH 5741 and BGH 5744 showed the highest levels. The results of BGH 7609 showed crude fiber significantly higher than the other materials tested, it can be used in diets composed of fibers. BGH 4560 and cultivar had the highest crude protein. BGH 5741 showed the lowest reducing sugar content among the clones, but not significantly different from results found for the cultivar. All clones showed total sugar levels were higher in the cultivar, which may have more flavor. BGH 5741, BGH 5746, BGH 6525 and BGH 6513 showed significantly higher starch content than the cultivar Amarela de Senador Amaral. From these results we conclude that the clones have similar color characteristics, and are potentially a nutritionally adequate substitute for the cultivar.

Musgos como bioindicadores de contaminación metálica: caracterización físico-química en términos de adsorción

[EN] Bioindicators have been used in urban and industrial areas to control the atmospheric pollution because it constitutes one of the most important environmental problems of human health. In this sense, mosses are able to reflect the chemical composition of surrounding atmosphere that together with the easy production techniques becomes mosses as one of the potential bioindicators in Europe. This study is part of the Mossclone project (FP-7) and quantifies the adsorption of heavy metals on 4 typical moss species in order to propose one of them to be used for environmental monitoring in the moss bag technique.

Caracterización de germoplasma de topinambur (Helianthus tuberosus L.) por aptitud agronómica e industrial

El topinambur pertenece a la familia de las Asteráceas, es una especie originaria de América del Norte, de la que fundamentalmente se aprovechan sus tubérculos; tiene gran potencial como alimento, materia prima para productos industriales y producción de biocombustibles. En Argentina no hay cultivares de topinambur registrados. Sin embargo hay documentación y testimonios del ingreso de distintas variedades al país a principios del siglo XX. El objetivo de esta tesis fue caracterizar el germoplasma de topinambur que se cultiva, a pequeña escala, en distintas regiones de la Argentina. Se formó una colección de trabajo con introducciones provenientes de 5 provincias del país (Río Negro, Chubut, Buenos Aires, Mendoza y Córdoba), y se condujeron ensayos experimentales en dos ambientes de la provincia de Mendoza. Se evaluaron caracteres morfológicos (altura de plantas, dimensiones y ángulo de inserción de hojas, tamaño de tubérculos), fenológicos (emergencia, inicio, fin y duración de floración, senescencia del cultivo) y rendimiento. Se detectaron diferencias morfológicas que permitieron agrupar a las introducciones en dos grupos, correspondiendo uno a introducciones de tubérculos rojos y el otro a introducciones de tubérculos blancos. Se valoró la aptitud hortícola de las introducciones mediante evaluación sensorial; se realizó una prueba de preferencia y percepción de distintos aspectos de la hortaliza (color, olor, sabor y textura), consumida cruda. El nivel de aceptación general de la hortaliza fue bueno. Se evaluó el potencial industrial (obtención de inulina y producción de etanol). Se determinó por HPLC el contenido de inulina de cada introducción, que varió de 18.07 a 22.95 % y se estimó el potencial para producir etanol a partir de los hidratos de carbono fermentables de los tubérculos, que llegó a 4.934 litros por ha, aunque sin diferencias entre introducciones.
