Watch the webinar from Industry Expert and Application Sales Engineer Nathan Seed on how process refractometers can be leveraged during both milling and refining in sugar production.

As sugar milling and refining is an energy intensive industry, the primary goal of sugar refiners is to improve production efficiency while minimizing resource costs. To achieve these goals, process control and optimization must be integrated into beet and cane sugar manufacturing via careful control of several parameters including massecuite solids content of raw and in-process liquids. For example, both water and energy consumption during manufacturing can be significantly reduced, contributing to overall sustainability, by using modern technology equipment.

Vaisala Polaris refractometers can be introduced into several stages of sugar manufacturing to increase the quality of liquid and crystal products and reduce fines and conglomerates during crystallization by ensuring precise production according to recipes and specifications. The instruments are also able to withstand the high ambient and process temperatures common in refineries while providing real-time data on Brix, total concentration, and supersaturation.

Watch the webinar from Industry Expert and Application Sales Engineer Nathan Seed on how process refractometers can be leveraged during both milling and refining in sugar production. We’ll review:

 

  • How to optimize and increase advanced control of the most important processes of sugar production including:

    • Milling
    • Affination
    • Decolorization
    • Evaporation
    • Crystallization
    • Recovery
  • Why process refractometers are suited for this application
  • Where to install refractometers within the sugar production process
