GONZALEZ-CORTES, Meilyn et al. System Assessment Evaporation of Sugar Manufacturing Process in the Company Antonio Sanchez. RTQ [online]. 2012, vol.32, n.2, pp. 148-156. ISSN 2224-6185.

Integration tools are applied to the process of sugar production, identifying the losses of thermal energy. Energy integration is carried out of the evaporators system and pans. It is obtained that in this process there are an inefficient use of the energy, as well as there is not an appropriate use of currents with thermal quality. Energy balanced scheme and with a minimum requirement of utilities was proposed. The scheme of two and three cooked masses are analyzed being had a reduction of 16 % of energy consumption when the system of two masses is used. In the studied case the use of the analysis Pinch contributed to obtain a system with lo w consumptions of exhausted steam, fo r what means a very useful tool and of necessary use, because it offers the possibility to visualize where they are the biggest energy potentials inside the process and this way to be able to obtain a net of recovery of heat with minimum consumptions of utilities.

Keywords : energetic integration; heat exchange network; energy recovery.
