Abstract
An equipment design project was carried out to design an inverter (Bioreator) or the production of 100,00 metric tones per year of ethanol from sugar cane.
An inverter is a part of process equipment used in ethanol production from sugar cane. While the rest process equipment include crusher, filter, centrifuge, fermented, distribution column and dehydrator.
Having based on design on a steady –stated operation, the required feed rate and enthalpy in the inverter, calculated from material and energy balance are as follows:
Feed rate required; (Input)
Sugar = 70.766kmol/hr
Water = 13814.95kmol/hr
Invertabe = 106.149kmol/hr.
Output Stream;
Sugar = 141.531kmol/hr
Water =13744.18kmol/hr
The Energy required = 17379.16mj/hr
The required design data for the inverter is summarized as shown below;
Volume of inverter required = 910.969m/hr
Diameter of inverter required = 8.31m
Height of inverter required = 16.62m
Type of Agitator required = Turbine agitator
Liquid depth = 14.603m
Baffle plate width = 0.83m
Speed of Agitator = 0
Diameter of Agitator = 4.16m
Power required for ungassed = 506 x 106watts
Power required for gassed = 5.182 x 106watts
Design Pressure = 1.1atms
Design Temperature = 400C
Permissible Stress = 165N/M
Wall thickness of inverter = 6.55mm
Commission Allowance = 3.0
Number of Impeller = 2
The detail information on the above datas can be traced on Appendix A, B. F and G.
The success of this design project came as a result of collective efforts of some group members, although little difficulties were encountered.
