Abstract

The field practice was conducted at Central Azucarera Don {Pedro, Inc. (CADPI) located at Brgy. Lumbangan, Nasugbu, Batangas. Theoretical principles were compared to the actual operations that were observed during practice. The factory is mainly a raw sugar manufacture with its own refinery. It includes the Mills Department, Boiling House Department, Refinery, Quality Control Department, Boilers Department, Electricals Department, and Waste Water Treatment Plant. Aside from the observation of the actual operation, a special problem regarding the design of trayless clarifier rated at 5,000 TCD was included in the practice. A batch settling test was done to gather the data used to construct a settling curve. The method of Talmadge and Fitch was used to determine the area, depth and diameter. The calculated area was 17.77m² while the depth and the diameter are 2.33 and 4.67m, respectively.
