C massecuite final purity calculation |Grain Quantity requirement for C CVP

Example No.1 :

Grain prepared in 60T batch pan after that 50% material cut to vacuum crystalizer then further filled and dropped as a C m/c.

Calculate C massecuite dropping purity ( Take C grain with AH + BH + CL in 60T batch pan, After it is cutting 50% to vacuum crystalizer then further use only BH molasses upto dropping the massecuite).

Step 1 :

First fixed the required footing material purity for grain ( Before adding the slurry) suppose to be take 64

Here using AH + CL using as graining material ( AH purity – 70 with 75 brix and CL purity 62 with 75 brix)

Pan Capacity = 60MT.

Graining Volume of given batch pan = 45%.

Pan working volume = 60/1.5 = 40M3 = 400HL.

Graining Volume = 40 x 45 / 100 = 18M3 = 180HL. ( here consider graining volume of batch pan 45%)

Weight of the graining material  = Volume x specific gravity = 18 x 1.42 = 25.56MT.

Solids in graining material = 25.56 x Brix(92) /100 = 23.51MT.

AH
72 2 (64-62)
Graining Material
64
CL
62 8 (72-64)
10 (8 + 2)

Solids from AH for C grain = (2 /10) x 23.51 = 4.70MT.

Solids from CL for grain material = 23.31 – 4.70 = 18.81MT.

Material Solids Purity Brix Weight in MT ( Solids x 100/Brix) Volume in M3       ( Weight/ Sp. Volume) Volume in HL
AH 4.7 72 75 6.267 4.61 46
CL 18.81 62 75 25.08 18.44 184

Step 2 :

After handing the the grain further fill up with BH molasses ( Brix 75 & purity 51 ).

Solids in C grain at the time of dropping = 60MT x 92 /100 = 55.20MT.

Solids from BH molasses for further filling of C grain =55.20 – 23.51 = 31.69MT

Weight of the BH molasses = 31.69 x100/ 75 = 42.25MT

Volume of the BH molasses = 42.25 /1.36 = 31.06 M3 = 310HL.

Final C Grain Purity = [ (Solids in grain x Pty of grain) + ( solids in BH x Pty of BH) ] / solids in final Cgrain.

= [ (23.51 x 64) + (31.69 x 51)] / 55.20

=56.53.

Step 3 :

Now 50% material transfer to vacuum crytsallizer and then filled with BH molasses ( Brix 75 & purity 51 ) and dropped as a C massecuite. Consider C m/c  dropping brix 99.5.

Solids in C grain after 50% transfer to vacuum crystalizer = 55.20/2 = 27.60.

Solids in C massecuite = 60MT x 99.5 /100 = 59.7.

Solids in BH for C massecuite boiling = 59.70 – 27.60 = 32.10.

Weight of the BH molasses for C m/c = 32.10 x100/ 75 = 42.80MT

Volume of the BH molasses for C m/c  = 42.80 /1.36 = 31.47 M3 = 315HL.

Final C massecuite dropping purity = [ (Solids in grain x Pty of grain) + ( solids in BH x Pty of BH) ] / solids in C m/c

= [ (27.60 x 56.53) + (32.10 x 51)] / 59.7 = 53.56.

Example No.2 :

Grain prepared in 60T batch pan then it send to continuous pan with  1 : 3 Grain & molasses ratio.

Required Data for calculation of C grain purity,  C masseuite final purity, quantity of grain and molasses requirement for continuous pan. Finally estimate the vapour requirement for C continuous pan for the given pan capacity.
