HEAT INTEGRATION IN SUGAR FACTORY “Case Study: Assalaya Sugar factory”

Abstract

This study describes the reduction of steam consumption for sugar factory. This will lead to generate elect power shared with national net. Heat integration analysis principally the data which given and matches cold and hot process streams then stream data extraction after determine temp approach (ΔTmin),when running of HINT software generation of temp interval and cascade diagram ,composite curve and construction of heat exchanger appearing. The result of this study heat energy integration of Assalaya Sugar factory was carried out using pinch technology with HINT (HEAT INTEGRATION NET TECHNOLOGY) software. The minimum approach temperature of 20°C was used and the pinch point was found to be 115C˚ for hot and95C˚ for cold. The hot utility requirements for the company before (traditional) and after pinch analysis approach were found to be 1800kW and the number of heat exchangers minimum 14and installed are 3and remaining is 12 heat exchangers. The important recommendation of this study the boiling of sugar in process house is under vacuum that means in different of pressure that means less temp of steam made boiling this process maintain the sugar from the losses.
