Improving the Phosphatation Clarification Process in a Sugar Refinery: Increased Production Efficiency and Improved Quality of the Final Product H. Tobar,1 W. León,1 A.M. Jiménez,2 L. Jaramillo,2 C.A. Donado,2 and E.M. Sarir3 1Ingenio Providencia, Cauca, Colombia 2Carbo-Solutions International, Cali, Colombia 3President & CEO International, Los Angeles, CA, USA Abstract: This technical poster presents the implementation of supplemental aids for sugar liquor clarification process at a Colombian sugar refinery, with the aim of improving the efficiency of daily production. It was possible to observe the improvement in the quality of the final liquor. The color removal achieved was 54%, which led to the optimization of sugar recovery in the pans, increasing the liquor/syrup rate to 50/50%. Also, a 42% reduction was achieved in the molasses returned to raw house and the refined sugar production efficiency was improved by 6%. Additionally, the improvements in the phosphatation process allowed to reduce the chemical consumption (ppm) and the production cost ($/QQ). The Use of High Performance Precipitants in Raw Syrup and Maseccuites for Direct White Sugar Production F. W. León,1, A.M. Jiménez2, L. Jaramillo,2 C.A. Donado,2 B. Pabon,2 E.M. Sarir3 1Ingenio Providencia, Cauca, Colombia 2Carbo-Solutions International, Cali, Colombia 3President & CEO International, Los Angeles, CA, USA Abstract: High Performance Adsorbents (HPA) were developed as an alternative in the production of direct white sugar (<150 IU) without using additional operations such as remelting or refining. This new technology offers great advantages, improved sugar quality, increased sucrose recovery and energy balance. This product has been used in raw syrup and maseccuites of a sugar mill in Colombia.
