“…2. Two experiments involving milk were performed at a feed flow rate of 50 kg/h, a first run with skim milk at 10% total solids concentrated to 24%, and a second run with the concentrate at 24% up to 52% total solids (Silveira et al, 2013).…”

“…In the case of the pilot-scale process (Silveira et al, 2013), the evaporator was modelled on the one hand with Heater blocks to perform heat and mass balances, and on the other hand in a more detailed way with the Aspen Plus ''HeatX'' block. HeatX is a standard heat exchanger block which comprises the possibility to model shell and tube heat exchangers, and the pilot falling film Fig.…”

“…The pilot-scale process (Silveira et al, 2013) was chosen for the sensitivity study, because the geometry of the equipment can be modelled in Aspen Plus (see Section 2.3.3). It must be highlighted that the computation of vertical tubular heat exchanger models, which include equipment design and geometry, is performed by default with the Steiner-Taborek correlation (Steiner and Taborek, 1992) implemented in the HeatX model (Aspen Technology, 2011).…”

“…Validation could be performed with both the systems (industrial and pilot scale plants -see Section 2.3), since relevant data were available. The other properties of milk (density, thermal conductivity, viscosity, surface tension) required for design purposes were validated only with the information taken from the pilot scale evaporator (Silveira et al, 2013).…”

In this paper, a modelling approach for liquid food products in a chemical process simulator is proposed from the flowsheeting methodology widely used for chemical processes. The focus is set on dairy concentration processes, in which milk is defined as a mixture of water and four dry matter components (fat, proteins, carbohydrates, minerals) modelled as ''pseudo-components'' in a conventional simulator which has been adapted to take into account the behaviour of the liquid food product considered. The significant properties of milk (heat capacity, boiling point elevation, thermal conductivity, density, viscosity, surface tension) are modelled with empirical models found in the literature and implemented in the simulator. In order to validate the approach, an industrial milk evaporation process and a pilot-scale evaporator are modelled and simulated. The results are compared with industrial and experimental results respectively, and show a good agreement with the industrial process. However improvements are needed in modelling the pilot scale evaporator. The proposed approach is generic enough to be extended to other liquid foods.
