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? (please don't forget graphical drawing ***)
