Abstract

The industrial brown sugar production process is commonly started from grinding, filtering, first heating, sulfuric acid addition, decantation, and evaporation. Evaporation process is essential process stage in the production of brown sugar. The use of Multiple Effects Evaporator (MEE) has been becoming more common and plays an important role in the food industry, especially for producing high quality agricultural products. Therefore, several design parameters of MEE should be carefully considered such as pressure, temperature, and flow velocity. This study discusses the semi-iterative design of triple effect of feed forward system MEE for industrial-scale and simulation using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This study successfully determine the optimum value for the MEE parameters in the manufacture of brown sugar and also compared with Ms.Excel-Solver simulation. The CFD simulation indicates an accurate design process that can be employed to determine the effect of pressure, temperature, and flow velocity for MEE performance optimization.
