(45 points) A continuous deodorizing system, involving a counter flow steam stripping
operation, is under consideration for the removal of taints from cream. The taint component
is present in the cream to the extent of 13 parts per million (ppm) and is supposed to be
reduced down to 0.2ppm in the leaving cream. If the relative flow rates of cream and steam
are given in the ratio 1:0.8, calculate the concentration of the taint in the leaving cream. The
equilibrium concentration distribution of the taint has been found experimentally to be in the
ratio of 1 in the cream to 10 in the steam and it is assumed that equilibrium is reached in each
stage. Calculate how many contact stages would be required assuming (a)100% stage
efficiency, and (b)70% stage efficiency using both the graphial approach and the analytical
equations?
