Abstract

This is a discussion about sub-processes suitable for the rearing of insect larvae on dry and semi-dry feeds. Three closely related, key aspects are dealt with as part of preliminary project design (PPD): the type of larval rearing sub-process to be employed, the reactor configuration and the operational approach to be used. A number of sub-process types and reactors are discussed. Because they are most commonly used in the industry today, all the sub-processes are âplug-flowâ (age stratified) and based on âpassiveâ reactors (contents moving through the reactor). Batch, semi-continuous as well as continuous sub-processes are dealt with and illustrated. Simulation to help the entopreneur chose the most appropriate type of sub-process is highly recommended.
