1 Introduction
1.1Background of the hosting company
East Africa Bottling Share Company (EABSC) is one of the carbonated soft drink beverage
companies in Ethiopia which produces the Coca-Cola company products: Coca-Cola, coca- light
(sugar free), Fanta orange, Fanta Pineapple, sprite and Schweppes.
First Coca-Cola bottling was established in Addis Ababa in 1959 by five Ethiopians with initial
capital of birr 750,000 form Ethiopian bottling share company. After five year the company
expand its business by establishing second bottling plant in a Dire Dawa in 1965 by five
Ethiopian and one expatriate, with a capital of birr 750,000.
In February 1975 the two factory were nationalized, re named as Addis Ababa soft drinks and
Dire Dawa soft drinks and operate under separate management. In March 22, 1996 the two plants
were reprivatized by five young local entrepreneurs with a registered capital of Birr 67 million
and formed EABSC.
In May 1999, a joint venture agreement was signed between EABSC & Coca-Cola Sabco (CCS)
to bring the professionalism, knowledge and experience that was lacking in the operation. The
shareholding proportion was 51% and 49% by EABSC and CCS respectively.

Process description
Raw water is supplied by a bore hole located on factory sit. Raw water from ground is pumped
and conveys to an intermediate underground storage tank. This underground storage tank is
equipped with level sensor and also serves as a reserve tank for raw water to ready accessible for
treatment.
The milk of lime preparation and dosing tank is equipped with a ladder to ease filling in Ca (OH)2
pages from the top manhole. The stirrer enables good mixing and avoids settling of undissolved
milk of lime. The dosing tank is equipped with two capacitive level sensors. These are used for
low level and dry run dosing pump and stirrer.
Quick lime (CaO) after it has been slacked in the lime mixing tank it gives slaked lime
[(Co(OH)2].
From the above reaction quick lime after it has reacted and milk of lime is formed then pumped
the lime reactor tank which is cylindrical tank having 5m diameter and 4.37 height. Row water
feed to reactor tank through feed pipe.
This precipitated material is usually removed by first settling and then filtering.
Ferric chloride (FeCl3) is added in the lime reactor tank for coagulation and flocculation process
to remove insoluble and non-settable solids.
Sand filter
Two sand filters are operated manually. Both work in the same time. Each one has a capacity of
Q = 15 m³/h.
Due to the low load per filter the filter velocity is quite low (4, 8 m/h) and the filtrate water
quality very high. The scavenging air blower is used for supply of scavenging air. The filtered
water is sent to the clear well water tank.
Activated carbon filter
Two carbon filters are manually operated. Both are operated parallel at a capacity of Q = 15 m³/h
each. Each filter is equipped with a flow meter. The flow meter serves to adjust the flow per
filter as well as they are an indicator for required backwash. The carbon filters serve not only for
an improvement of taste and odor of the water but especially as well as for chlorine removal.
Each filter is followed by a manually back washable polisher filter with a filtration grade of 20μ.
Steam sterilization is carried out manually.
Polisher
The water treated in the filter Media’s of sand and carbon filter is needed to pass through
polishers. The polishers are a micron filters used to filter out any filtrates passing from the
carbon filter. There are two polishers with different filter diameters of 1 micron and 0.05 micron
pore sizes. The polishers prevents the RO plant by removing any scale causing compounds, that
is the reason for placing of polishers before the RO plant.

General description
Washer machine coca cola sabco plant is a bottle washing machine used to wash empty glass or
plastic bottles. The width and length depend on the washing cycle and the output required. The
machine is made of steel structure inside which two chains travel, carrying beams containing the
bottles to be washed.
All the systems required for the machine's operation are installed along its long sides. The
machine is divided into a pump side and a gearbox side. On the pump side there are the pumps
that feed the spraying stations, pumps for label extraction and all the manual and automatic
filtering systems. The gearbox side carries the system that drives beam travel and the loading and
unloading systems.
The spraying stations for washing the inside and outside of the bottles are located in the upper
part of the machine. There are inspection and maintenance doors.
The roof consists of movable covers that rest on the fixed structure.
The bottles are fed to the loading deck by the conveyor belt, from where they pass into the
conveyor system to perform the washing cycle, consisting of three stages: i.e. prewash and
gradual heating with internal and external sprays, washing in a high-temperature caustic
detergent solution, removal of labels and alternation of immersion and internal sprays, rinsing
and gradual cooling with internal and external sprays until the microbiological characteristics are
the same as the mains water used for the final rinse.
Once they reach the end of the system, the bottles are transferred to the unloading deck and
passed to the conveyor belt where they are sent to be filled.
Drive system
The machine is driven by a variable speed electric brake motor, controlled by an inverter, which
starts up the machine and increases speed until the desired rate is reached.
The reduction units and main motor can be equipped with a special safety cut-out device, which
stops the machine in the event of excessive stress on the shafts.

Bottle loading
The bottles are fed onto the loading platform by means of belt conveyors and from here they are
transferred to the collection decks and channeled onto the chute by separators
The bottles are transferred from the deck to the loading beam by means of the clamps which lift
them by the bottom and take them from the deck to the guide for a short distance, then they are
taken by the pusher which inserts them in the pockets. This double movement ensures
continuous motion without jerking the bottles.

Simple syrup is a solution of nutritive sweetener treated water after filtration and before addition
of concentrate. Simple syrup production consists of addition of sugar and water and mixing then
finally filtering of the dissolved sugar.
Treated water
White refined sugar
Filter aid
The process of simple syrup production starts from inspection of raw sugar. The incoming sugar
is inspected for the presence of unnecessary impurity, damaged packing, the supplier where the
sugar is coming and the production and expiration date of imported sugar. After inspected the
raw sugar is added in the sugar dumping station where it is conveyed to the sugar dissolving tank
by screw conveyor. The screw conveyor is powered by the electrical motor installed at the top of
the dissolving tank.
Cleaning of equipment’s
Sanitation of simple syrup manufacturing equipment is the necessary and the first step for syrup
production. Manufacturing equipment like; sugar dissolving tank and filtration units needed to be
cleaned before syrup production is started
Measuring Treated Water for Specified Flavour and unit for a standard brix of (64o)
After all, the next step is dissolving of sugar. Measured water needs to be heated to about 80 oc if
the quality of sugar is low unless in at room temperature, heating the water is used for
pasteurization and to facilitate the dissolution process. Dissolution is achieved with a gentle
agitation of the solution to prevent the settling of sugar at the bottom of the tank.
Filtration
Simple syrup may contain some un dissolved impurities coming from sugar. Syrup preparation
with hot carbon treatment with activated carbon consists of filtration of syrup and the he used
activated carbon in the filter press and filter bag with the application of keiselghur filter aid.
After filtration is completed, the simple syrup is verified for the standards of;
Quantity
Brix
Appearance
Taste and
Odour.
Simple syrup is also produced without carbon treatment. When the sugar is good in quality and
needs not to be purified.
The process of simple syrup production without carbon treatment is just the same but without the
use of high temperature carbon treatment.
Final syrup is a homogenous mixture of simple syrup plus Concentrate or Beverage Base part of
each flavour after adjustment to final volume with treated water.
After simple syrup is prepared and filtered the necessary beverage and concentrate of the flavor
with the necessary unit is prepared to mix with the simple syrup.

The bottle filling machine in EABSC DD plant is SIDEL which is built as rotating machine with
96 filling valves. The bottles are delivered on a conveyor belt, separated to a predetermined
spacing by a separating device, and positioned on a lifting platform under the filling elements by
a star wheel loading device.
The bottle filling machine is built synchronously with the bottle closing machine (crowner).

The rotor structure part is the most important part .It is housed on ball bearing in the machine
frame and is driven from there. Mounted in front of this is the front table in which the drives
from the bottle feed and removal are installed. These include
The feed in screw
The loading star wheel
The un loading star wheel etc.
Machine drive
The product tank (carousel) consists of the filling bowl and filling valves, the filling valve
control mechanism and a fixed section for connection to the drive base. The product container
serves as a storage tank for the product and for supplying it to the filling heads. The filler bowl is
of the annular type and made from stainless steel. The filler bowl cover is bolted down, though
may be removed for periodic internal inspections. The product feed pipe, CIP piping, the
counter−pressure in feed and out feed pipes and the product recirculating pipes run out from the
center in feed column to the filler bowl. Other items mounted on the filler bowl cover include:
- Pressure gauge
- Thermometer
- Level probes
Two sight glasses are located on the side of the filler bowl for visual level inspection. The filler
bowl height adjustment is carried out by a motor, which drives the lifting reduction gears through
transmission shafts.
The lifting elements serve to press the bottles against the filling heads and thereby provide a
temporary stable connection between the bottle and the filling head. For this, lifting elements are
located below filling heads. The Lifting elements are vertically arranged cylinders which raise
the bottles by means of lifting plates driven by compressed air and press them against the filling
heads.
The filling heads have a very complicated structure consisting of a number of different
components which are described individually in the following. They include
- Centering cups
- filling valves with vent tubes
- a control for the valves
Centering cups
During filling the bottle is raised. In order to obtain correct centering of the bottle on the filling
head, an intermediate centering element, is fitted which is carried upwards by the bottle being
raised. The centering tulip canters the bottle in the middle of the filling head and seals it above
and below.
First the bottle is pressed, air- tight against the filler head by the centering cup. As a result of
actuation of the roller lever the gas valve is briefly opened and air passes into the bottle through
vent tube from the filler bowl and purges the bottle. The air flowing in produces a high air
concentration in the bottle. Simultaneous the pressure in the bottle is raised to the same pressure
as that in the annular bowl.
Phase 2 filling
After the pressure equalization between the bottle and the filler bowl, the roller lever opens, via
the outer spring, the valve seal. The product can now flow downwards and is deflected by the
deflecting cone against the bottle wall and flows down the wall in a thin film. The air displaced
flows back into the bowl through the air pipe.
As soon as the product has reached the bottom of the vent tube it rises in this, in accordance with
the laws of physics applying to connected vessels, whilst the gas located above the vent tube can
no longer escape. In this phase there is a slight overfilling of the bottle which must be corrected
later.
To achieve an exact filling height, the product valve is closed by moving the roller lever, whilst
the gas valve still remains open. Now by means of a fixed curve, the lateral air valve is opened
and CO2 at a slight overpressure enters the neck of the bottle.
This forces the product, which is above the end of the vent tube, up the vent tube and thus back
into the bowl. In this way an exact filling height in the bottle is obtained.
To prevent immediate over foaming, the pressure in the bottle is slowly decreased by opening the
pressure release valve which is connected to a fine nozzle. The bottle can then be lowered and
closed
When the bottles come out of the filler, foam slowly rises in the bottle neck. Consequently a jet
is installed before the crowner machine which continuously sprays treated water downwards.
After filling the bottle crowner machine close carefully then goes to the next stapes with the
application of conveyor belt drive.

From this internship program, I have got a good chance to improve my practical skill highly. I
can develop my skill by participating myself into different part as I had learned theoretically in
my department course. Among them:
Machine maintenance:
Theoretical skills
When faced with a new thing in the company process my teammates and I have tried to read
more on it by Referring to different manuals of machines and discuss it on the theoretical aspect.
So I have learned the importance of the theory knowledge and its direct effect in the companies
output.
In addition to the practical skills I also upgrade my theoretical knowledge in relation to the
academic background of my study. The main things that I develop here are
Understanding and applying the concept of production planning and
Control system specially the concept of capacity utilization.
Understanding skills concerned with ideas and principles on which a practical subject is
based through working mechanisms of different machines.
Knowing the work rules and regulations of the company and referring different manuals
for different operations or machines and processes
To develop the communication skills I strive a lot and try to communicate with operators, day
laborers, engineers, and top level managers and hence, I find myself good enough in personnel
interactions.
Every day in my work I made contact with these people to help me know the different kinds of
things about their working environment. This makes me to have a wide knowledge and can
easily communicate with their relatives about the different problems occurred and try to solve it
together.
From this internship I understand that my communication is not much enough
Through my internship time I can learn leadership of the employer of the company. And how
good leader make excellent working environment

4.2 Introduction
Boiler waste heat
This is heat lost in boiler through ways such as discharge of hot combustion gases to the
atmosphere through chimneys, discharge of hot waste water, and heat transfer from hot surfaces.
This energy loss can be recovered through heat exchangers and be put to other use such as
preheating other industrial fluids such as water or air.
This project focuses on recovering heat that is lost through boiler chimney flue gas. The
advantages of heat recovery include:
Process heat recovery involves intercepting the waste streams before they leave the plant,
extracting some of the heat they contain, and recycling that heat. This study focus on installing
boiler economizer to recover exhaust heat used to preheat in feed water of boiler.
This study is important because EABSC doesn’t have proper heat recovery method in the boiler
so that the efficiency of boiler as well as the life of boiler machine is limited.
So if this heat recovery economizer installation applied faulting and damage as well as
maintenance cost will be minimized.
Thermal energy from fuel combustion that transfers through heat exchanger surface is used for
boiler to produce steam Due to; the efficiency of each heat exchange surface is different,
therefore leading to various flue gas losses.
1. Inappropriate air for combustion: If there is excess air, air will conduct heat from combustion
chamber to stack, which can notice by higher temperature.
2. Soot: Soot occurs from fuel combustion. In addition, soot from solid fuel is greater than its
from liquid fuel and gas fuel. As soot has bigger molecule than smoke, it will accumulates at
3. Scale: Scale happens when dissolved minerals in boiler water reach high levels; it comes out
as a hard shell formed on the hot surfaces of boiler. In common, scale on heating surfaces will
reduce the ability of heat transfer from hot combustion air to boiler water. High stack
temperatures or ruptured on fire tubes are common problems related to scale build up. In every 1
millimeter of scale consumes higher 2% of fuel than usual.
Due to recycling boiler water for long time, some chemicals from treated water dissolve
and form scaling on boiler heat exchanger.
No proper heat recovery on the machine
Coca cola bottling plant wastes a significant amount of energy in the form of hot and
moist boiler flue
The main objective of this project is to increasing the boiler efficiency by designing boiler
economizer mainly thermal design of heat exchanger that install on the chimney of boiler.
Specific objective:
Minimizing fouling and reduce maintenance requirements to avoid interference with the
normal operations of the boiler.
Reduces fuel conception of boiler.
Extending boiler lifetime.
It is Consists of two concentric pipes of different diameter. In application, one fluid passes
through the pipe of smaller diameter while the other flows through the annular space between the
two pipes. The flow of fluids can be arranged into:-
Parallel flow:-
Both fluids (hot fluid and cold fluid) enter the heat exchanger at the same end and move in the
same direction to leave at the other end as shown in the figure below.
Counter flow:-
In these types of arrangement, the cold and hot fluids enter the exchanger at opposite ends and
flow in opposite directions as shown in the figure below
They are usually constructed of thin plates which may be smooth or corrugated. Since the plates
cannot sustain as high pressure and or temperatures as circular tubs, they are generally used for
small and low to moderate pressure/temperatures.
In this project we use double pipe heat exchanger to transmit waste heat through the chimney.so
that the diameter of chimney and in feed water line pipe taken as annular or larger pipe through
which flue gasses is flow and inside smaller diametric pipe through which cooled water is flow
respectively. To increase the length of heat exchanger smaller pipe is constructed as helical
structure inside the annular.
A boiler economizer is a devise that is designed to increase the operating efficiency of a boiler,
cutting down on its operational costs over a life time of the boiler. Although the saving on any
given day may be relatively small, the impact over time can be significant.
Boiler operates by heating water to make steam, and this steam used for dissolving of sugar in
simple syrup preparation and CIP process in Coca-Cola bottling. For the most part, a boiler is
fairly efficient, but there is some heat loss when the byproducts of combustion are vented.
A boiler acts as a waste heat recovery devise, ensuring that this heat does no go unused. Instead,
the heat is used to essentially preheat the water, so that less heat is required to bring the water to
a temperature high enough to make steam. One could think of this devise as a feed water heater,
it insure that the water used feed the boiler used make more steam is hot so that the boiler does
not have to expend as much energy heating it.
Using an economizer does not just prevent heat loss it can also extend the life of boiler.
Temperature change caused by using cooler feed water can create wear and tear on the boiler
over time as the fitting heat and cool down cyclically.
Heat exchanger:
A device used to transfer heat from one fluid to another without direct contact of the fluid. Heat e
xchangers contain a hot fluid that
flows through one part of the exchanger and transfers its heat either to a cool fluid (water or air, f
or example) in another part or to theair outside of the exchanger.it is the main part of boiler feed
water economize used to transmit heat into the in feed water of boiler from the existed flue gas
from the boiler
In this literature cylindrical counter flow heat exchanger is selected as heat ex changer, in such a
way that the flue gas flow through the cylindrical shall and water circulate through helical tube.
The economizer shall be cross flow type arranged to allow the boiler exhaust gas to travel
vertically upward, while the feed water travels vertically downward.

To design or to predict the performance of heat exchanger it is essential to relate the total heat
transfer rate to the quantities such as inlet and outlet fluid temperature, the overall heat transfer
coefficient, the total surface area for heat transfer. Two such relations may readily be obtained by
applying overall energy balance to the cold and hot fluids.
If ‘q’ is total rate heat transfer between hot and cold fluids and there is negligible potential and
kinetic energy change

4.8 Discussion
The amount of heat recovered Q increased linearly with the overall heal transfer coefficient. the
value of U reached its maximum and then remained constant for higher values of Q .
The temperatures for the above operating conditions were:
Water inlet temperature Ta in = 600c
Water outlet temperature T air out = 1000c
Flue gas inlet temperature T gin = 2100c
Flue gas outlet temperature T gout = 700c
The optimum operating conditions can therefore be summarized as follows:
Overall heat transfer coefficient U= 0.96w/m2k
Effectiveness ε = 93%
T water in = 600c, T water out = 1000c, T g in = 2100c, T g out 700c
Conclusion and result
The objective of this project was completion and testing of boiler chimney heat recovery heat
Exchanger system that could be used to recover heat lost through flue gases. A cross flow single
pass type heat exchanger was used in the design. The systems model was completed under
convection conditions.
From the performance of the model the optimum operating conditions were obtained as:
Overall heat transfer coefficient U= 0.96kW/m2K
Effectiveness ε = 93%
Recommendation
On boiler
Mostly boiler water is not blow down regularly which leads to create scale on the
boiler heat exchanger that limit life of boiler.
The two big opposite purposely machines, boiler and chiller install at one crowded
room these decrease the efficiency of both machines.
On packer and unpacked machines
Due to equipment alignment problem the bottle sleep before hanged by the griper in
