A question for a beginner: Our company produces caustic soda. How do I calculate the daily production volume of caustic soda?
Calculating the daily production of caustic soda can generally be done through weighing or volume measurement. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Determine the start and end times: Set clear start and end times for production, such as from 8:00 every day to 8:00 the next day. 2. Measure raw material consumption: Record the amount of major raw materials used during this period (such as salt, water). 3. Production process monitoring: Continuously monitor key parameters during the caustic soda production process, such as temperature and pressure. 4. Collect output: At the end time, collect the final product. Weigh the caustic soda or measure its volume and convert it to mass. 5. Calculate total production: Add up the masses of all the caustic soda collected to obtain the total production for that period. 6. Quality inspection: Conduct necessary quality inspections to ensure that the products meet the standards. Following the above steps, you can accurately calculate the daily caustic soda production. If more detailed operational instructions are needed, it is recommended to consult the engineer or technician responsible for the specific production line. .
What you’re referring to here is probably a matter of measurement; the theoretical formula for calculating the output of caustic soda is: percent caustic soda = 1.492 * number of units * current * time. The caustic soda production is calculated based on our product export flow meter, but the impact of concentration must be taken into account.
The actual production amount is calculated by converting the cumulative value from the flow meter into percentage values based on the concentration, while the theoretical production amount is determined using Faraday’s first law. The ratio of these two values gives the current efficiency. In actual production, the load is determined by knowing the current efficiency of the electrolyzers; therefore, the caustic soda production can be calculated as follows: electrolytic equivalent value × 1.492 × current × number of electrolyzer units × current efficiency × number of hours. The number of electrolyzer units includes all the electrolyzers in use, with each electrolyzer having a certain number of units, and all of them must be taken into account
