Abstract
This report presents the results of a study on the development of a practical tool for the analysis of mass-flow and energy in a potash circuit. The work has culminated in the development of a prototype microprocessor system capable of solving mass-energy balances and is demonstrated in the worst-case situation of a potash crystallizer for industrial circuits of major complexity. Contained within the report are specifications for hardware and software components that can be used to operate the application programs of the study. In this sense, the report is a user guide for researchers and plant designers. The general subject of process control is addressed from the standpoint of energy management along with some of the technical issues that retard progress in potash technology. The report discusses process control instrumentation and provides the specifications for an economical general-purpose instrument for on-line mass-energy calculations to be used for process optimization.
