Abstract
The use of patent pending high performance adsorbents from CarboUA in four sugar refineries achieved enhanced daily production rates, higher process efficiency and filterability improvement of syrups. Enhancements in carbonatation and phosphatation clarification, as well as further enhancements including the 2-stage addition of the absorbants in order to by-pass unit operations such as granular activated carbon or ion-exchange resin are possible. The benefits are based on improved final liquor colours, improved daily throughput of sugar solids, improved sugar recovery (t raw sugar/t refined sugar), reduction in the amount of syrups recycled in the white sugar house and reduction in energy consumption. The levels of decolourisation and savings on consumption of chemicals are presented. Refined sugar quality is improved.
