Journal Article
Ferrari-John, R., Katrib, J., Zerva, E., Davies, N., Cook, D. J., Dodds, C., & Kingman, S. (in press). Electromagnetic heating for industrial kilning of malt: a feasibility study. Food and Bioprocess Technology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11947-016-1849-0

Industrial malting operations use ~800kWh/t of energy to produce the heat required to kiln malt. Electromagnetic heating technologies are suggested as a way to potentially improve the energy efficiency of the kilning processing. In this work, the pot...

A tool for predicting heating uniformity in industrial radio frequency processing (2016)
Journal Article
Ferrari-John, R., Katrib, J., Palade, P., Batchelor, A., Dodds, C., & Kingman, S. (in press). A tool for predicting heating uniformity in industrial radio frequency processing. Food and Bioprocess Technology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11947-016-1762-6

Radio frequency energy is utilised for heating in a wide range of applications, particularly in the food industry. A major challenge of RF processing is non-uniform heating in loads of variable and angular geometry, leading to reduced quality and pro...
