SITUATION:
A Midwest ethanol producer was experiencing high fluctuations of caustic use without a strong correlation as to the problem's source. The plant had several theories and after consulting with Ronningen-Petter, a plan was developed.
RONNINGEN-PETTER SOLUTION:
The resulting solution was to install an automated, self cleaning filter on a recirculation loop connected to the caustic make down tank.
The current CIP loop was not interrupted and continued to operate as normal.
RESULTS:
Within days of the installation, the filter had stabilized the caustic addition rates. The filter, operating automatically, removed the particulate from the caustic tank, reducing consumption of caustic.
