WASTE TREATMENTS
Peel is sold as animal feed.
Starch solution from slicing, slice washing and blanching is fed to rotary vacuum drum filter.
Starch obtained as cake and is sold to related industries.
Wastewater from washing is treated in water treatment unit and reused after specific controls.
The waste oil is sold to biodiesel producers.
REVISIONS
We have some revisions due to the advises we are given at Food Engineering Design (1st Semester) course.
The blanching unit is removed from potato chips line
The water tank design is rearranged.
The used salt amount is changed
The waste oil is sold to biodiesel producers
The membrane filtration is changed with rotary vacuum drum filter.
REVISIONS ON COST ESTIMATION
The revisions on purchased equipments (addition and removal of equipments) were analyzed if there an identical change exists or not.
REVISIONS ON COST ESTIMATION
As a result of these changes the Cumulative Cash Position and Break-Even Point Calculations were repeated.
As one can observe from the results above it was concluded that the Cumulative Cash Position and Break-Even Point were not effected very much from these changes.
