The Rotatable Fish Drying Frame is aimed at formalising a specific fish-drying process already used by different communities in Africa. The frame allows for the drying of up to 100 kg of fresh fish at a time using the existing iteration. The key principle is that after one week of drying, the drum...

This technology involves a method for generating hydrogen in an electrolysis cell. A proton exchange membrane (PEM) is used to separate anode and cathode chambers of the cell. The space between the anode and the PEM is filled with aqueous sulfuric acid. In use, gaseous sulphur dioxide is fed to the...

The invention relates to a low-cost, portable, self-aligning rooftop wind turbine designed to capture moderate-velocity wind and generate electricity efficiently for household use. Current large-scale wind turbines in South Africa are located far field and the energy generated must be transported...

The technology relates to an upright tubular fixed-bed reactor body comprising a heat -dissipating pipe, which extends from the reactor tube wall, to ensure that heat is effectively transferred in highly exothermic reactors such as Ficher-Tropsch, which are prone to heat build-up.   The heat pipe is...

This invention relates to an alternate oxidant for a delay composition, and more particularly to a delay composition including a fuel and an oxidant in the form of antimony hexitatridecoxide having the formula Sb6O13. The invention also relates to the use of antimony hexitatridecoxides as an oxidant...

The invention relates to the scavenging of flavour compounds, typically undesirable or off-flavours, from a liquid beverage or foodstuff. In particular, the invention relates to the use of proteins for scavenging flavour compounds associated with dairy products, such as those which arise from heat...
