The Joule-Thomson effect in the expansion valve
This occurs when a fluid is passed through a valve and its pressure decreases abruptly at constant enthalpy.During this process, there is a molecular collision and a transformation of kinetic energy into potential energy, thereby reducing the density and, with it, the number of collisions. When the molecules separate, energy is required, so this energy…
The Future of the Cold Chain and the Transformation of Frozen Foods
The freezing of food is consolidating its position as a key strategy for the sustainability of the food system and health protection. In fruits like the mango, pre-processing and freezing allow for the efficient utilisation of the fruit’s edible fraction, significantly reducing waste. While a fresh mango suffers total losses in the region of 35–40%…
Design and Execution of Industrial Building Floor Slabs
Every engineer who designs plants, factories or industrial installations must master the behaviour of industrial flooring and concrete slabs, because a poorly designed base can compromise productivity, safety, maintenance, and the overall service life of the operation. An inadequate slab can cause #vibrations, differential settlement, premature failures and operational risks that directly affect the stability…

Thermochemical conversion of avocado agro-industrial waste: Influence of operating conditions on biochar yield and properties
I am happy to share my scientific article on the use of avocado waste (seeds) for the production of biochar, a product that has many applications, including soil improvement, water filtration, gas adsorption, energy generation, etc.Thousands of tons are thrown into landfills, buried, or burned around the world, so this is a feasible and scalable…
New project
Reengineering of a plant for freezing avocados, mangoes, pineapples, strawberries and blueberries in Peru. By installing a new IQF freezing tunnel that has almost twice the capacity, we must completely reengineer the plant. Engineering work must be carried out, led and executed by specialists in the critical areas. This type of project is not a…
ANUGA 2025
Anuga is recognised as the world’s leading trade fair for the food industry, bringing together ten specialised exhibitions under one roof. This unique event enables producers, buyers, innovators and regulatory bodies to connect and explore the entire food value chain — from ingredients to finished products — in a single venue. Its importance for the…
5th Renewable Gas Exhibition. Valladolid, 1–2 October 2025.
The exhibition and conference emphasises that biogas and biomethane are no longer just promises, as the sector is moving towards projects in full swing, opening up real opportunities for agricultural companies, cooperatives and agro-industries that manage organic waste. It is essential that these developments are connected to the countryside, combining technology with agricultural materials and…
Fruit Attraction 2025
Fruit Attraction 2025 is not only an international trade fair for the fruit and vegetable sector, it is also the ideal meeting point to connect with customers, share with friends, strengthen relationships with strategic partners and discover new business opportunities. Producers, exporters, technologists, distributors and institutions from more than 60 countries come together in one…
❄️ The Key to a Successful Cold Chain: Pre-cooling Before Freezing 🧊
Maintaining the cold chain is essential when processing fruits and vegetables, and a critical step for achieving this is pre-cooling before final freezing. This practice not only ensures product quality but also optimises the efficiency of the entire process. Hydro-cooling is a highly effective method, capable of removing field heat up to 15 times faster…
