2 SCOPE

The project will include a new Forced Circulation Evaporator. This document defines the requirements and deliverables for this system. It describes

overall requirements that must be met to produce the specific equipment requested.

This URS is the input document for the:

• Equipment procurement purposes

• Equipment sizing

• Functional and technical specifications

3 BACKGROUND

The Dakota Bioproducts Innovation Institute is a research facility for the development of high-quality bioproducts. A Forced Circulation Evaporator skid

has been identified as one of the technologies that will be available for customer use.

4 PROCESS DESCRIPTION

The Evaporator system will be a single effect, skid-mounted unit used to concentrate a variety of streams. It shall include a shell and tube heat

exchanger for heating the feed product, as well as a cone bottom tank for separation of vapor and liquid. The flashed vapor from the separation tank

shall be sent to a condenser system consisting of a shell and tube heat exchanger, condensate tank, and vacuum pump. Steam will be used as the

heat source for evaporation. Chilled water will be used as the cooling source to condense the flashed vapor. The unit will be CIP cleanable without

dismantling.

5 BASIS OF DESIGN

5.1 Capacities

The feed flow rate will be up to 1500 lb/hr. The maximum evaporation rate will be 1200 lb/hr.

5.2 Skidded Construction

The evaporator and accessories shall be mounted on a skid, work as a stand-alone unit, and be supported by plant utilities. Requirements for the skid

and its component parts will be defined by the skid supplier, in a pre-purchase detailed proposal and drawings.

5.3 Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)

The evaporator skid will satisfy appropriate conformity assessment procedures and the controls shall carry the UL marking. Selected unit shall be

constructed per the current ASME BPE standard. The unit will be designed to protect users from hot surfaces. Pressure relief safety valves or rupture

disks shall be vented to a safe location.

5.4 Operation, personnel and automation

The evaporator skid will be fully automated as a standalone unit such that operations personnel will not need to attend to the skid once the unit is

started and operating. An Ethernet connection for SCADA interface for batch reporting shall be provided.

5.5 Materials of Construction

All materials of construction must be compatible with ambient and hot water for injection (WFI), and typical chemical cleanings agents such as

phosphoric acid, potassium hydroxide, and sodium hydroxide up to 3%. Piping specifications, including all gasket and valve seat material must align

with current ASME BPE standards, where applicable.

5.6 Reliability & maintenance

The skid will be designed to operate routinely during 24 / 7 / 365 operations. All wear parts shall be easily accessible and replaced on a regular

maintenance schedule. Wear parts like gaskets shall be stock items that can be ordered and delivered in a timely manner.
