DEF

A colourful mix of spicy, fun foods, often drenched -- literally -- in island flavors.

OBS

Meats are flavored with marinades and fry rubs and smoked in a closed pit environment to deliver jerked food delight. Hot pepper sauces, fruit-based sauces, and chiles soak foods in flavor. Soups and stews--pepperpot, quimbomba, sopito, conch chowder, bebele and more--are abundant and diverse favorites on island menus. The typical recipe revolves around meats and seafood mixed with spices, peppers, vegetables and potatoes or other tubers.

Record 3 1990-07-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Papermaking Machines
DEF

a pit ... tank into which the contents of a digester are blown at the completion of a cook in papermaking.

CONT

Three methods of discharging the digester are used in the sulfite processes-hot blowing, cold blowing, and flushing. The emission of sulfur dioxide from the blow pit or dump tank depends on the system of blowing(...) In the hot-blow style, the digester gases are used to discharge the contents of the digester to the blow pit. If no scrubbing is utilized emissions may range from 100 to 150 lb sulfur dioxide per ton of air dried pulp. In the cold blow and flushing style of discharge, the pressure is almost fully relieved from the digester and the relief gases are routes to accumulators for fortifying cooking acid. The contents of the digester are then discharged into a dump tank. Emissions from this source, if no secondary scrubbing is utilized, may range from 10 to 25 lb sulfur dioxide per ton of air dried pulp.
