10,000 kg/hr of a brine solution containing 6% salt is to be concentrated in an evaporator-crystallizer where 837.6 kg/hr of concentrated solution is obtained. The crystals together with some adhering solution are sent to a centrifuge where 198.7 kg/hr of solution is separated. This constitutes 60% of the adhering solution from the crystallizer. The wet crystals with the remaining adhering solution are sent to a drier where all the water is evaporated and the bone dry crystals collected at the rate of 361.7 kg/hr. Make a complete material balance for the system.
