The energy balance, on the other hand, accounts for the heat and work that undergoes in
the system. Energy transfer is vital to know so that proper costing can be made. Furthermore, it
will also help in determining if the proposed process is energy intensive.
The assumptions made for mass and energy balances were retrieved from several
references and will serve as the limitations for the plant operation. Proper compliance to the Laws
of Mass and Energy Conservation was ensured for accuracy.
II. SUMMARY OF ASSUMPTIONS AND EQUATIONS FOR MASS BALANCE
Filter (K-03, K-04, K-05) • Leaving wet filter cake will contain 8%
soluble components. []
Acidification Tank (J-03) • Only one reaction will take place which
is the conversion of calcium lactate to
lactic acid and calcium sulfate.
• 20% excess sulfuric acid was added to
allow full conversion of calcium lactate.
• 2% sulfuric acid will be added as raw
feed.
Lignocellulose 82.11%
Moisture 15%
Ash 2.89%

Equipment Assumptions
Convective Tray Drier (D-01) • The relative humidity of ambient air is 75%
• The operating temperature and pressure of the
drier is at 60°C and 1 atm
• The temperature of the boiler is maintained using
saturated steam at 150°C and 400 kPa
Fermentation Reactor (J-02) • The entering feed into the tank is 45°C
• The calcium hydroxide solution enters at 30°C
• Inoculum broth energy balance is assumed
negligible due to lack of thermophysical
properties
• The standard heat of formation of biomass is
negligible in the heat of reaction of lactic acid
formation of glucose
• Cold water enters the reactor at 25°C and leaves
at 45°C
Acidification Tank (J-03) • The entering filter cake int the acidification tank
is at 40°C
• The sulfuric acid fed into the tank is at 30°C
• The operating temperature ay the acidification
tank is 104.9°C
• The temperature of the boiler is maintained using
saturated steam at 150°C and 400 kPa
