3.Comparison of effects of tubular and plate heat exchangers (juice heating and waste heat utilization).

4.Comparison of syrup heating with perforated tubes or plate heat exchangers.

5.Belt dryer without and with drying air recirculation - effects on energy consumption.

6.Plate heat exchanger calculation - effects of acceptable pressure loss utilization.

7.Utilization of nanofiltration of juice - points of view of capacity and economy.

8.Balance and operation parameters of a fluid bed dryer designed for sugar and used for pulp.

9.Simplified balance of line for milk powder production - part 1: (mass balance, pas-teuriser, evaporator, spray dryer)

10.Simplified balance and design of the line - part 2: (ways of control, possibilities of the line optimization)

11.Simplified balance of the line - part 3 (possibilities of the line optimization).

12.Design and calculation of a sugar juice evaporator - part 1.

13.Design and calculation of a sugar juice evaporator - part 2 (the evaporator optimiza-tion = energy saving).

14.Final test
