A modified C massecuite finned tube heater and pressure feed system
By Forzatti, FJ; Peatey, KJ; Walker, WJ
The paper describes a modified C massecuite handling system between the final crystalliser and the C centrifugals. The system comprises a mill built finned tube massecuite heater and a secondary massecuite pump to provide controlled pressurised feed to the C fugals. The paper outlines the design and construction of the finned tube heater, describes how the system is controlled and discusses its performance during the 1986 crushing.
