Abstracts: Tartaric acid as one of the major raw material in Ethambutol plant. The TA is recoverable raw material so that ETB manufacturing facility is associated with TA recovery unit.ETB is an anti tuberculosis drug. Lupin produce largest amount of ETB in whole world. The production of Tartaric Acid from calcium tartarate is consists of series of units of operation , which begins with the decomposition of calcium tartarate followed by the filtration , evaporation , crystallization , filtration and drying. The capacity of TA plant is about 300 tons/year At LUPIN industry in TA plant 6 units of CFs are used for the filtration of slurry that consume more power, man power, time and space. So we propose to use of NF instead of CFs.
