1 Introduction

1.1 General
Operation Manual (OM) is a platform for process control, centralised
supervision and reports in liquid food production, developed by Tetra
Pak.
Operation Manual includes User Interface, giving the operator an
overview of production status and ongoing activities. The User
Interface provides effortless access to process information, such as
level, temperature, pressure, etc. User Interfaces are placed where
they are most efficiently utilised, normally in a control room or in the
process environment.
User Interfaces are delivered with pre-installed application programs.
The application requires license keys, which are included in the
delivery. These keys must be installed to be able to run the User
Interface. If a key is lost, Tetra Pak can replace it at the cost of a new
license.
Operation Manual also includes Process Controllers, which control
the process by activating the necessary valves and pumps, based on
operator commands and information from the process. The control is
done to ensure a safe and proper function of production and cleaning.
Interlocks prevent the operator from; for example, start cleaning when
production is running.

1.2 Mouse Handling


In this document the following terms are used to describe the
actions which operator can perform using mouse:

POINT To move the pointer on the screen until


it rests on the object you want to select.
DRAG To hold the left mouse button down
while moving the mouse. (On Pop-up
windows)
SELECT and CLICK Point at the object (unit) or function
button. Press and release the left mouse
button quickly. All objects and buttons,
possible to click on, display a frame
when you point at them.

In case of any issues with the screen, please contact Maintenance


personal or System Administrator.

1.3 Modules
Operation Manual is a complete package inclusive of User interface,
PLC database and Logic and reporting package that Tetra Pak® calls
as Production Integrator.
Following software are used to develop each one:
• User Interface: Developed using TPOP HMI
• PLC program: Developed using Rockwell’s RSLogix5000
• Production Integrator: NOT HAVE
All software’s are delivered with pre-installed application programs
along with License keys. The application requires license keys, which
are purchased on the name of “BINH DUONG NUTIFOOD
NUTRITION FOOD JOINT STOCK COMPANY” and included in the
delivery. These keys must be installed for process system to run
smoothly.
The software keys are in the form of activation codes or CD’s and
need to be placed at safe place (with lock and key arrangement),
under dry atmosphere and at ambient temperatures. Once delivered
it is responsibility of BINH DUONG NUTIFOOD NUTRITION FOOD
JOINT STOCK COMPANY to take care of licensing keys.
However, if a key is lost, Tetra Pak® can replace it at the cost of a
new license.
1.3.1 User Interface
User interface allows operator to control and monitor various plant
operations. It gives an Overview of production status and ongoing
activities to operator. It provides effortless access to process
information, such as levels, temperatures, flow and pressures. User
Interfaces are placed where they are most efficiently utilised, normally
in a control room or in the process environment.
1.3.2 I/O-Server
An I/O-server holds the tag-database and handles communication
between user interfaces and process controllers.

1.3.3 Process Control


Process Controllers (PLC’s in this case) control the process by
activating the necessary valves and pumps, based on operator
commands and information from the process. The control is done to
ensure a safe and proper function of production and cleaning (limited
to scope as per contract documents). Interlocks prevent the operator
to start any process of activity through User Interface when

The faceplate describes the present status of a control module. Texts
which are dimmed are not relevant on current control module.
The first statuses are named auto and is displaying if the control
system is activating the control module.
The next part is Run, Reverse statuses and this is the actual signal to
the IO of the control module. If the control module is in manual mode
and activated manually the status Run will be green but the status
Run auto might not be green because the control system is not
activating the control module. This information is useful when
switching back to automatic mode to know if the control module will
be activated or not when it is placed in automatic mode again.
By clicking the manual symbol, it is possible to control the control
module from the faceplate. This is can be used to manually control
the object e.g. at maintenance. In manual mode you override the
control system.
Use this function with caution!

Alarm Suppress is used to by-pass an incorrect feedback signal from


a control module. When alarm masking is selected, the alarm from
the object is ignored.
Use this function with caution!

Simulation is used to simulate feedback signal from an object. When


simulation is selected, the appropriate feedback signals will be
simulated by the control system.
Use this function with caution!

Note: As Manual mode, Alarm Suppress and Simulation can be done


on a control module at the same time as it is in production, the control
system will have no control over the production.
Use this function with caution!

The Process
In this section, water is heated and filled to a pre-set volume into one
of the Recombination tanks. When the Recombination tank is filled to
20 % of full volume, the mixing circulation can start.
When product in Recombination tank is circulated over the Vacuum
mixer, Milk Powder, Sugar (added through tipping station), Stabilisers
(added through funnel) and Palm Oil (added through overhead
Batching tank) will be added into mixer.
When the mixture is ready, it is recommended that the milk mix is
stored for 20 minutes but not longer than 2 hours before further
processing.
The transfers, mixing is initiated from a local panel. The product
destination tank is selected from the HMI or at a local panel.
A milk mixing tank cannot be filled and emptied at the same time,
except in the circulation loop.

The Process
Recombined milk enters the milk pasteuriser, where the milk is
pasteurised, homogenised to require for the fat content of the milk.
The milk is cooled with suitable temperature and fed to the milk
storage tanks (buffer Tank).
The main functions of the pasteuriser, i.e. start, stop, CIP, and
sterilisation, are controlled from the Local panel.
On the local panel of the pasteuriser detailed pictures and the status
of the valves are displayed, valves may be controlled and recipes are
created

Some of the phases run on the pasteurizer are:
Water Circulation
This phase is not started by operator. The control system will enter
water circulation phase as a result of the control and completion of
another phase, for example sterilization or production. The
pasteurizer stays in water circulation until the operator starts
production, CIP or finalizes the water circulation. If finalized by
operator, the phase transits into the Shutdown phase wherein the unit
is cooled down before being drained or going into idle.

Product Circulation
This phase is started by production unit. The control system will enter
the product circulation status as a result of the control of another
phase, for example production. The pasteurizer stays in product
circulation until the operator starts production, CIP, Shutdown. When
Product Circulation Max Time elapses, Operator has the option to
RESTART Production or go to Shut Down.

Production
Milk enters the balance tank of the pasteuriser and purges the water
and mix phase to drain. When the pasteuriser is filled with milk it is
ready for production.
From the balance tank the milk is pumped to a heat regenerative
section of the plate heat exchanger, where it is heated up to
homogenised temperature. The milk is homogenised and heated to
pasteurisation temperature in a heating section by hot water
generated by steam in a hot water circuit. After holding, the milk is re-
generatively cooled by water in hot water loop, and final cooling takes
place in a cooling section of the plate heat exchanger by means of

tower water.
The pasteuriser is emptied by purging the milk with water into the
selected pasteurised milk tank. The mix phase of water and milk is
diverted to drain.
The pasteuriser re-circulates in the following cases:
Pasteurisation temperature too low
Low level in balance tank
Pump or valve fault
Source or destination tank not selected
By operator command

Shutdown
This function is selected by Operator / Production Unit. This is a
systematic Shutdown of the unit where in all the product is transferred
to selected destination by flushing and the unit is cooled down below
cooling limit before draining.
For all Running Faults, system goes to hold for a defined time limit
after which the phase will abort. During the Hold Time the operator
can choose to restart or abort.

The Process
Flash cooler is used in this process. To bring down temperature of
product at the same time increasing product’s total solids
approximately by 3%
The overall process flow can be described as below

Figure 28 Flash Cooling

Flash cooling
In order to bring the RSCM concentrate up to its final state the product
needs to be cooled down to around ambient temperature. Due to the
high total solids of the product, the product has a high viscosity.
During cooling the viscosity will strongly rise. For that reason, the
quick flash cooling principle equipped with positive, lobe, pumps is
required.

Lactose dosing
To stimulate a fine crystallization of sugar, extra seeding of lactose is
foreseen. To be flexible in the process, the lactose seeding can be
done in between the flash vessels or after the second flash vessel in
the final RSCM concentrate. Selection of dosing position can be done
with sanitary flow plates equipped with proximity switches.

TVR
The vapours of the 2nd flash vessel are discharged over a steam
driven vapour recompressed. Herewith a very low vacuum can be
realized and with that the required end temperature of the RSCM
liquid.
67

Condensation
Vapours from the 1st and 2nd flash cooler are led to the condenser,
condensation takes place by means of cooling water.
All the condensate is pumped out with a centrifugal pump.

Venting
The condenser is provided with a vent line. These venting will remove
the non-condensable gasses and the leakage air, if any. From the
vent line these gasses are discharged by a liquid ring vacuum pump.

9.5 Crystallisation
Start-up of Crystallisation tanks
The crystallisation tanks are first disinfected by steam of 95°C for a time
of 15 minutes. After disinfection these tanks is ready to be filled with
product.

Production
SCM based milk, is fed to crystallisation tanks. The total solid of product
is adjusted by pasteurised process water.
When a tank is filled with SCM based milk at crystallisation temperature,
it is crystallised during approx. 4-6 hours.
In the crystallisation tanks, the agitator runs for a few minutes to mix well
the lactose into the milk. The crystallisation of the SCM milk will start.
A sanitary air low overpressure system is maintained inside the
inoculation tanks, preventing air contamination from entering and secure
quality

Process
Process water enters the plate heat exchanger where the process
water is pasteurised.
In the pasteuriser the process water is heated to 90-95°C and
cooled to 20-60°C by ice water
The main functions of the process water pasteuriser, start, stop, and
controlled from the local panel.
Crystallisation tanks are selected from the local panel.
