OPTIMIZATION OF SUCROSE LOSS FROM SUGAR INDUSTRY

Jibril Goli, Omprakash Sahu.




Abstract

The aim of work is process optimization of a milling plant in order to minimize sucrose loss with final bagasse as another option. The
experiment was carried out with design expert software. By identifying main factors i.e. imbibitions of water and hydraulic pressure effect
on response variable i. e percentage sucrose in bagasse, it was applied to the process optimization in order to get the optimum process
condition in which the sucrose loss is minimum. This is achieved at maximum imbibitions of water (62.6 m3 h
-1
) and maximum hydraulic
pressure (110 kg cm-2
). Under these optimum conditions, the minimum sucrose in bagasse is 3.4 % unit. This results in sucrose saving of
0.04 ton h
-1
.

Key words: Boiling, crystallizer, economical, Massecuite, purity
