Abstract

Context: In the UEB Industrial Ceballos de Ciego de Ávila, large volumes of plant condensate are generated that are not recovered and are discharged into the sewers.
Objective: To determine the volume and characteristics of the condensates obtained in the tomato paste concentration phase.
Methods: Data on processed tomatoes and tomato paste produced and on the physical-chemical characteristics of the condensate in 2016-2017 were analyzed. Simulation using SuperPro Designer was used.
Results: The physicochemical characteristics of the condensates obtained, the amount of condensate and the relationship between the tomato juice feed flow, in t/d and the condensate production, in t/d, are revealed.
Conclusions: The daily vegetable condensate is 117.43 m3/d and is characterized by having a high temperature, low pH and without hardness, which makes it viable for reuse in other phases of the industrial process, replacing between 28% and 39% of the total demand for water in the production line, preventing 6% of wastewater from being dumped into the environment.
