Raw Sugar Filterability Improvements with Syrup Clarification
نویسنده
چکیده
A study has been initiated to review syrup clarification technology, with the objective of finding methods of improving syrup clarification, including chemical addition, and with special reference to aeration and flocculation problems. Preliminary results suggest that significant improvements to raw sugar quality are possible, particularly filterability. The review to-date is presented, with recommendations on future work.

Clear Juice Turbidity Monitoring for Sugar Quality
A considerable amount of South African raw sugar is sold to export markets. Consistently good filterability of this sugar is important for satisfying the requirements of customers. To the refiner, the filterability of raw melt is important as this affects refinery throughput. Analysis of filtrationimpeding impurities in raw sugar has shown that, among other things, poor juice clarification coul...
متن کاملInvestigation into the Filtering Quality of Raw Sugar
The investigation into the filterability of raw sugar was In response to occasional complaints from customers, attention has focused on the filtration behaviour of raw sugars. Offending sugars, together with several others, were extensively analysed to establish the probable causes of the problem. Parameters correlating most strongly with poor filterability were turbidity and soluble phosphate ...

Raw sugar colour is an increasing sugar quality concern, not because of a decline in the quality of South African very high pol raws but rather due to rapid improvements in the raw house colours in the rest of the world. Technically, raw sugar with lower colour has direct implications for the refiner’s effort and cost of processing that sugar. Enormous benefits could be derived if colourants co...
