Developing a Simulator for Multiple Effects Falling Film Evaporator

Simulator of multiple effects falling film evaporator of milk and whey powder factories has been developed via Simulink in MatLab 6.1 environment. The simulator eases the study of the plant without loss of energy and material. In this regard, controller’s parameters of the plant are optimized. Further, the plant performance is compared with the simulator results after applying new controller’s parameters to them. A good agreement is observed between plant data and simulator results. Plant model that is used in the simulator is developed in state-space and it is identified using a set of plant data and identification toolbox of MatLab 6.1. The model is capable in predicting the plant performance when its results are compared with another set of plant data.
