Pasteurization

Why HTST Pasteurization?

LTLT HTST UHT

Op. Temp 63°C 72°C 88°C

Holding Time 30min 15s 3s

Process Type Batch Continuous Continuous

• LTLT - Long Temperature Low Time

• HTST - Hight Temperature Short Time
• UHT - Ultra High Temperature

• HTST pasteurization fit for the required flow rate (3670 kg/hr) continuous process
• High Energy and Cost Consumption and the possibility of alteration of milk proteins in UHT pasteurization.
• Saving 120kW of energy by regenerating in HTST pasteurization
 Plate Heat Exchanger
• Using Counter current flow to enable maximum
heat recovery possibilities and a very close
temperature approach can be achieved
• Gasketed PHE allows easy cleaning.

 Things to do

• A final mechanical drawing of PHE

• Complete a hazard and operability analysis (HAZOP) of the system
• Calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient
• Check the validity of design through Aspen
