BALANCES ON MULTIPLE UNIT PROCESSES

OVERALL BALANCE A  Feed1 + Feed2+ Feed3= Product1+ Product2 + Product3

ENVELOPE B Feed1 + Feed2 = Mix 1

ENVELOPE C Mix 1= Product 1 + Pruct 2’

ENVELOPE D  Product 2’=Product 2 + Product 2”

ENVELOPE E Product 2”+ Feed 3 = Product 3

 RECYCLE AND BYPASS
Recycle is used in a process when there is a need to recover
some of the components in the product stream.
RECYCLE AND BYPASS

Bypass is a fraction of a stream, which is diverted

around one or more units and combined with the
output stream from the unit.

How do we solve?
Recycle and bypass calculations are solved in the same
manner: the flowchart is drawn and labeled, then the
overall balance and balances around the system are used
to determine the unknowns
