Storage Structures

Traditional Storage Structures

Morai type storage structure
 Morai type of structure is used for the storage of paddy,
maize and sorghum (jowar) in the rural areas of eastern and
southern regions of India.
 Its capacity varies from 3·5 to 18 tonnes.
 These structures are very similar to the shape of an inverted
cone.
 They are placed on a raised platform supported on wooden
or masonry pillars.
 The improved type of structure consists of a circular
wooden plank floor supported on pillars by means of timber
joints.
Evaporation
 Evaporation is an operation used to remove a liquid
from a solution, suspension, or emulsion by boiling
off some of the liquid.
 It is thus a thermal separation, or thermal
concentration, process.
 We define the evaporation process as one that starts
with a liquid product and ends up with a more
concentrated, but still liquid and still pumpable
concentrate as the main product from the process.
 There are actually a few instances where the
evaporated, volatile component is the main product
