Abstract :

Evaporators are integral part of a number of process industries like Pulp and Paper, Sugar, Caustic Soda, Pharmaceuticals, Desalination, Dairy and Food Processing etc. Optimization is the use of specific methods to determine the most cost–effective and efficient solution to a problem or design for a process. It is one of the major quantitative tools in industrial decision making. The aim of this study is to explain how the total cost of evaporators can be reduced by using multi–effect evaporators and achieve an economically optimal number of effects. Multi–effect evaporators system for the concentration of sugar cane was studied it was found that four–effect evaporator system is the most optimum and most economical.
