Evaporator is one of the most energy intensive sections of a number of process industries such as pulp and paper, sugar, desalination, pharmaceuticals, dairy and food processing, etc. Single effect evaporator can be wasteful of energy if the vapour’s heat is not used. This is resolved by using multiple-effect evaporators. In the cane sugar industry, Robert type evaporators are generally considered the preferred evaporator design because Vapour bleeding is incorporated. The objective of this project is to design a model for a three-effect evaporator system. Vapour bleeding is incorporated in the model as a means to reduce the amount of steam consumed in the evaporator. Multiple effect arrangements are designed to utilize waste heat and reduce steam consumption and heating power. This is done by using the vapour generated in the first stage as the heat source in the second stage heat source in third stage. Other energy reduction schemes like condensate, feed and product flashing, vapour compression etc. are also available. Vapour bleeding brings about an increase in the steam economy of the process, but at the added cost of the required heat exchangers. In addition to the design of this evaporator, we will perform analysis to determine various stresses and support structure design for optimization of weight of evaporator.
