EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In this assignment, we not use Heat Exchanget Network. The main reason
is because our plant mode process is batch. According to Szijjarto, 2008 in the
batch chemical industry energy consumption represents approximately 10% of the
production cost and offer an interesting target for cost saving. Furthermore the
large number of units used in batch production buildings with parallel production
lines running at the same time does not allow an accurate estimation of the energy
use without the help of a large number of sensors the installation of which implies
an important burden for the plant operation. Batch plants are widely used in the
industry, especially for chemical products or food industry. Batch processes are
discontinuous processes in which heat, mass, temperature and in general any other
operation may vary over time
Because the nature of batch processes is highly variable, the energy
requirements of such plants will be difficult to satisfy with direct energy recovery.
But, considering a plant as a whole, including the activity of the utilities (boilers,
cooling heat exchanger, etc.). The usage of the utility system can also be improved
by optimally sizing the equipment. If they work at nominal conditions for a
maximum amount of time, their efficiency will be maximum. This situation can be
achieved by creating an interface between the energy requirements of the process,
which are variable over time, and the operation of the utility system.
For water utility, we utilizing the water resources from the river Way
Sekampung with 2.900 L/s debit from this river. Water is used for utilize : process
water with total 272,83 MT ; domestic water around 10.000 liters per day; cooling
water require 62.432 kg/batch with make up for cooling water reached up to
4104,90 kg/batch. And for water requirement for steam generation is about 2,95
kg/s. Total electricity in our plant is about 4.693,93 kWh and fuel requirement for
one batch production of lysine is 26913,9 kg of botuminuous.

CHAPTER 1
UTILITY

There several reason why our plant does not using Heat Exchanger
Network (HEN). The two main reason are listed below :

Batch process
The mode of operation in our plant is the combination of continuous & batch
process, with residence time around 168 hours for the longest process which is
fermentation. Because of this, HEN would not be very effective in our plant. With
a common sense that the batch operation seldom require significant amount of
energy compared to their continuous counterparts, there is much less attention
given to batch HEN synthesis. In our plant, there is no cold and hot stream which
flow in the same specific time procedure. It is because all of the operations are
done in a sequence of scheduling. Besides, the highest temperature of stream in
our plant is just 180C and this stream is used for the hydrolysis process. The
other streams are in mild condition in range of 25-37C. Heat exchanger network
is not an effective alternative to be implemented in our plant because of the
minimum temperature differences between streams.

Lack of varied hot & cold stream


In our plant, we have 2 hot streams of 120C and 180C (protein coagulation and
LHW), and remaining are in ambient temperature. The temperature of stream that
happened in our plant is almost same along the process,which is 30-37C and 7090C at the purification stage, due to the consideration of microbial activity in the
main process of production. Cross-link of the hot and cold streams (cross of the
stream below and above pinch) will require much more utility and we does not
want that happen. The lack of hot and cold stream of course become a obstacle in
heat exchnager network design.

Universitas Indonesia

From all of the considerations, we decide to done energy conservation of


ourp plant by creating a utilitities system that will cover all of the heating or
cooling activity in our plant.
1.1 Utility Equipment Selection and Description
Based on the dictionary, utility is a quality or condition which is useful for
something else. In this plant design, the terms utility means for every moving
object which are useful alongside the course of the process manufacture. There are
several utilities used in this plant such as water (cooling agent), steam (heating
agent), electrical (process equipments), and fuel utility (for boiler to generate
steam and electricity).

1.1.1 Water Utility


The location that we have chose is close to the Bengawan Solo River.
Bengawan solo river is the largest river at java. Here the volumetric rate data of
bengawan solo river taken from BPSDA bengawan Solo in 2013.

Table 1.2 Bengawan Solo Volumetric Rate

Source : BPSDA Bengawan Solo, 2013

Water is an important utilities because it supplies the process needs,


generates steam, and for domestic needs. We used a quiet large amount of water
but we consider that the bengawan solo could fullfilled the water requirement. To
ensure a continuous supply of water, it was built on the location of the water
reservoir (water intake) which is also a pre-treatment of river water. This
8

processing includes filtering waste and impurities carried along the water.
Furthermore, water is pumped to the factory to be processed and used as needed.
Water treatment plant consists of several stages.

Figure 1.1Water Treatment Process


(Source: Degremont, 2011)

This is the description for each process :

Screening
Screening stage is the initial stage of water treatment. The purpose of
screening is to maintain the structure of the flow in the utility of the large objects
that may damage the unit of utility facilities and facilitate the separation and
remove solid particles carried in large river. At this stage, the particles will be
filtered without the added of chemicals. Whereas particles smaller would be
bound with water to the next processing unit.

Sedimentation
Sedimentation is an early stage of the water treatment plant. In the tank,

the solid particles are large diameter (about 10 microns - 10 mm) will settle due to
gravity without the aid of chemicals, while particles smaller would be bound with
water to the next processing unit.

Clarification
9

Universitas Indonesia

Clarification is the removal of turbidity in the water by mixing it with a


solution of Al2(SO4)3 and Na2CO3 (soda ash). Solution of Al2(SO4)3serves as a
primary coagulant and coagulant solute Na2CO3as an addition that serves as an
adjuvant to advance precipitation and pH neutralization. In the clarifier basin,
there will be a process of coagulation and flocculation. This stage aims to get rid
of Suspended Solid (SS) and colloids.

Filtration
Filtration in water purification is a common operation in order to get rid

with Suspended Solid (SS), including particulate BOD in water (Metcalf, 1984).
Materials used in the medium can vary: sand, anthracite (crushed anthracite coal),
carbon active granular, powdered active carbon and garnet stones. The most
commonly used in Africa and Asia are sand and gravel as a primary filter,
consider another type is quite expensive (Kawamura, 1991)

Demineralization
This process is used to remove any ion and mineral to make the water free

of it.

De-aeration
De-aeration serves to heat the water that comes out of the ion exchanger

and condensate tool marks before it is sent as feed water. In this de-aerator, water
is heated to 100C so that the gases dissolved in the water such as O2 and CO2
can be eliminated, because these gases can cause corrosion. The heating is done
by using a heating coil inside the de-aerator.

A. Steam Requirement
Before we choose what kind of boiler or steam generator that we select,
we have to calculate how much steam that we need for this plant. In this plant, we
need steam for two purposes, first is for process production and second is for
10

Universitas Indonesia

equipment sterilization. Sterilization is needed because our production process


involves the activity of microorganism (Aspergillus niger), the production line is
very fragile against the contamination which could make the microorganism cant
adapt well. Due to this reason, we have to apply sterilization process for our main
equipment, especially seed fermenter and main fermenter. The method that we
prefer to use is Steam In Place (SIP) method, which uses the saturated steam to
sterilize the vessel between the downtime. Sterilization is performed until the
temperature reached 90oC at a pressure of 1 atm.
The power generation equipment which is used is boiler. This boiler will
evaporate water in order to create high pressure steam. The high pressure steam,
called superheated steam is our main power source to run the factory. So, there
will be two kind of steam which will be used, namely high pressure steam
(Superheated steam) and low pressure steam (saturated steam). The steam go out
from the boiler is only in the form of superheated steam. Superheated steam used
for delignification and hydrolysis. Whereas, other processes that require heat
using a saturated steam. The calculation of steam requirement for process water
heating and sterilization were calculated in the previous assignment. Table below
shows the calculation of steam requirement :

Calculation for Steam at Temperature of 190C


Due to 20% fouling factor and leakage factor of 10%, it can be conclude

that the total amount of steam required is :

Total steam=(100 + fouling factor +leakage factor ) steam requirement

Total steam= (100+ 10+ 20 ) 15.83=20.58 kg/batch

It is assumed that 90% of the condensate can be reused, therefore reused


condensate is :
Reused condensate=90 total steam requirement

Reused condensate=90 20.58 kg /batch=18.52 kg /batch

Because not all of the condensate can be recovered or reused, therefore


additional water is needed to fulfill steam requirements for continuity of
production process. The total addition water needed is :

Makeup water for boiler =total steam requirementreused condensate


Makeup water for boiler =121.66109.49=12.17 kg/batch

B. Cooling Requirement
Cooling water is utilized as primary coolant agent in the cooling system of the
heat exchanger network. Optimum temperature should be reach in order to get the
optimum product. Also in the bioprocess engineering, if the temperature is too hot
or too cold some enzyme will not work and even some microorganisms will dead.
For several process cooling are held by work of cooling water. Q of cool water
can be calculated as below:
13

Universitas Indonesia

Q=m c T

Where,
Q = work (kcal)
C = specific heat (kcal .C/ kg)
m = mass (kg)
T = Temperature Different

We also can get the cooling water mass flowrate by using the formula below :

m1 c 1 T =m2 c 2 T
m1=m2

c2
c1

Where,
m1 = stream mass (kg)
m2 = cooling water mass (kg)
C1 = stream heat capacity (kcal .C/ kg)
C2 = cooling water heat capacity = 1 kcal .C/ kg

We have identified all the process which is need cooling aand by the formula
above we calculated

and get several data. The table below is showing the

calculation result :

From the calculation, we consider the Q of chilled water is 41392.847 kcal/batch..


In final calculation, we obtain Wc (chilled water flow rate) is 1336.738 kg/batch.

Those are the cooling water requirement during start up. The cooling water is
reused after being cooled in cooling tower. For per day requirement, we only need
to add make up water to prevent scaling inside cooling tower caused by
accumulated dissolved solids. Assume that some water losses during circulation,
the total amount of make up water needed is the water losses from evaporation,
drift loss and blowdown. Calculation for water losses from evaporation is:

We=0,00085Wc (T 2T 1)

Where:
Wc = inlet water to cooling tower
T2 = inlet water temperature =1800C
T1 = outlet water temperature = 240C

15

We=0,00085 x 1336.738 x (18024)

We=177.25 kg /batch

The water losses from drift loss is usually 0,1-0,2% from the total inlet cooling
water. Assume 0,2% drift loss:

Wd=

D. Domestic Water
Domestic water is needed to sustain living condition of the men operating
or working in the plant. We assume that Each people consumes 2 L/day
(UNESCO, 2002). Each people uses 33000 L/year for washing and sanitation
(UNESCO, 2002), so we assume that each people need 93 L water per day for
wahing and sanitaion purposes . Other purposes, such as cleaning in place (CIP),
fire exstinguisher and hydrant water requirement are assume 11,81 tonne per day
(11810 L/day). We assume that 150 people are employed in our plant throughout
the 24 hours. The data below are shown the calculation of domestic water
requirement.

B. Plant and Office Lighting


The total lighting consists of the lighting in process area, office and electronics.
The calculation will use the term of illumiance (E). The equation can be seen in
the following formula.

E=

N . . LLF . UF . n
A

where:

22

Universitas Indonesia

N=number of lamp points

=total lumen ( Lm )
LLF=light loss factor=0,8 ( SNI standard )
UF=Utility factor=0,8(SNI standard )
n=numbe r of lamps each lamp point

A=areabuilding (m 2)

Process area lightning


There will be several assumption in order to calculate this electricity need.
Total process area

= 7000 m2

Lamp type used

= Fluorescent lamp PL-L 36 watt = 2160 lumen

Luminous efficacy

= 60 lm/W

E ( process area )=

700 2160 0.8 0.8 1


=138.24 lux
7000

Total illuminance = 138.24 lux

From the value of total illuminance 138.24 lux and luminous efficacy 60 lm/W,
the calculation carried out by www.rapidtables.com and known that
138.24 lux = 16128 watt = 16.128 kW

Office area lighting


The total area office is 1000 m2 with:
23

Universitas Indonesia

First floor area = 700 m2 and number of lamp point = 120

Second floor area = 300 m2 and number of lamp point is 50

This office use florescent lamp Master TL-D HF/16 watt or 960 lumen. By this
data, it can be derived illuminance:
E ( at first floor )=

120 x 960 x 0,8 x 0,8 x 1


=105.33lux
700

E ( at second floor )=

50 x 960 x 0,8 x 0,8 x 1


=102.4 lux
300

Total illuminance = 207.73 lux = 3.43 kW

Total power needed for lighting is the sum of process lighting and office lighting,
therefore the total lighting needs is: 16.128 kW + 3.43 kW = 19.5582 kW.

C. Office Equipment
In our office, most of the workers have their personal computer with networking
and also associated with other IT equipments such as computer, printers, modems
and faxes. Office equipment is every goods or tools that is needed in the office

CHAPTER 2
CONCLUSION

1. So in our plant we decided not to use Heat Exchanger Network because of


some reasons like following below :

Batch Process : The mode of operation in our plant is the combination of


continuous & batch process, with residence time around 72 hours for the

longest process which is fermentation.


Lack of varied hot & cold stream : . The lack of hot and cold stream of

course become a obstacle in heat exchnager network design.


2. To assist the overall process of this plant, we need the facility to help
providing & distributing some additional resources for the plant, but not
directly involved in the process, like water, steam & electricity.
3. By calculating the water for steam requirement , cooling water requirement,
process water, and domestic water, the total water requirement for this plant is
2706.621 ton/batch or 135331.1 ton/year.

4. By calculating the process power requirement, plant & office lightning, office
equipment, and other electricity, the total electricity requirement for this plant
is 104593.91 kWh
5. For fuel requirement
