Diseño de un prototipo de sistema de fermentación industrial para la empresa “Induacero Cía. Ltda”

Abstract

This project was requested by the company "Induacero Cía. Ltd.” because they have the need to build stainless steel fermenter tanks with a cooling system for the beer industry. Because there are no solutions on the market for micro-enterprises that need a more sophisticated system to ferment small batches. In the present project, the design of the fermenter tank was carried out and it began by calculating the internal measurements, then the ASME section VIII Division 1 regulations were used to calculate the pressures to which the tank will be subjected and the thicknesses necessary to withstand these pressures. Then the heat transfer analysis of the tank cooling system was carried out. Finishing with the design, the algorithm of the control system was made and based on this, the programming in ladder language so that the code can be entered into a PLC, then the design of the graphical interface that will be shown to the user so that he can manipulate the program. Upon completion of the design, the prototype will be delivered to Induacero Cía. Ltda. to prepare it for the benefit of the company.
