Innovative Modifications Enhance Efficiency in Evaporators and Juice Heaters
EAPC assisted Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative (SMBSC) with several modifications to their evaporators and thin juice heaters. This included adding new spray systems to mist eliminators, installing ammonia vents, replacing thin juice heaters, and modifying piping to support these updates. EAPC conducted a 3D scan of the work areas, using the point cloud to model the existing structures and create construction drawings. They collaborated with suppliers to design spray headers and heat exchanger modifications, developed separate construction and electrical packages, and provided process sizing for the thin juice heaters.
