Calculation of Sulphur Melting Steam Requirement

The document calculates the steam requirement for melting 2100 kg of sulphur at a sugar plant with 3500 TCD cane crushing capacity. It determines that 246.7 kg or 0.246705 tonnes of steam is needed to raise the temperature of the sulphur from 25 to 140 degrees Celsius, accounting for its specific heat and latent heat of fusion. This equates to a steam requirement of 0.001692 tonnes per hour.

CALCULATION OF SULPHUR MELTING STEAM REQUIREMENT

Plant 3500 TCD


Sulphur consumption %cane 0.06
2.1 MT
Requirement of sulphur
2100 Kg
Latent heat of Steam 489.5 Kcal/Kg
Initial tempertaure of sulphur 25 deg.c
Melting temperature 140 deg.c
Sp.heat of sulphur 0.5
Latent heat of fusion 11.9
Heat required for melting sulphur= (wt.of sulphur x temp.rise x sp.heat of sulphur + latent heat of fusion)
= 120761.9 Kcal
Steam req. for sulphur melting= 246.7046 Kg
