1 . 5 Thabo was using a single effect evaporator to concentrate 1 0 wt % sugar solution into syrup of 3 0 wt %

1.5 Thabo was using a single effect evaporator to concentrate
10 wt% sugar solution into syrup of 30 wt%. Saturated
steam is used as a heating medium and is supplied at a
particular pressure. This evaporator used a water-cooled
condenser to condense the vapor produced in order to keep
the evaporator pressure at the desired value. One day after
some time of running the evaporator, he comes to find that
the evaporator is only able to achieve 20 wt% at the
conditions he has been using. He wants to embark on
troubleshooting but he does not know what to look. Explain
to Thabo eight things he should investigate and tell him how
he can correct each in order to have the evaporator giving
him the desired final concentrate
