UOFe Assignment II

The document discusses developing a cooling system for a palm oil derivative process. It involves dividing the cooling load between a clean water cooling tower and a dirty water cooling tower. It lists steps to determine cooling loads, set temperature ranges and approaches for the towers, calculate evaporation losses, mass flow rates, blowdown, and make up water, and optimize the type of fill for each tower.

Assignment – II

Palm oil derivative products are used in various food applications. Palm oil first of all converted
in to Distilled fatty acid, Light distilled fatty acid and glycerol. The detailed process flow
diagram is available along the assignment. The detailed process conditions are also given.
Considering the process condition you are supposed to develop the cooling system for the
given process. First of all you will divide the cooling load in two types of cooling tower

1. Clean water cooling tower


2. Dirty water cooling tower (Contains small amount of fatty oil).

The CTW utilizes for condense the steam in vacuum ejectors is connected with Dirty water
cooling tower system. The steam use in vacuum ejects is available at 4 bar pressure. And the
CTW use in heat exchangers or for indirect heat transfer is connected with clean cooling tower.
All the run down products should be send to storage tank at 40⁰C

1. Determine the cooling loads of respective cooling towers.


2. Set the range and approach for respective cooling towers and give the reason of your
optimize value.
3. Determine the cooling loads of respective plants.
4. Calculate the evaporation losses, mass flowrate of CTW,
5. Calculate the blowdown and make water considering CC = 5 and 0.1% of the flowrate of
CTW as random losses.
6. Optimize the type of fill for each CT and give reason for the selection of fill.
