Simulation of a sugar beet factory using a chemical engineering software (ProSimPlus ® ) to perform Pinch and exergy analysis

Multi‐objective optimization of cane sugar continuous crystallization system design based on computational fluid dynamics

“…The solid phase of the sucrose grain combined in a factor of a certain viscosity with the liquid of the sucrose mother liquor to form a liquid phase of the sugar paste. That is, the gas–liquid two‐phase flow of cane sugar crystallization is assumed (Lambert et al., 2018). The distribution and flow diagram of the 10 chambers in the HVP are shown in Figure 2, Due to the existence of a gap between the chambers and the use of the same heating drum the liquid level, temperature and pressure are almost same among the 10 chambers.…”

Beyond Sugar and Ethanol Production: Value Generation Opportunities Through Sugarcane Residues

“…relying on a carbonation process (Saska et al, 2010). Although carbonation is not yet widely used in the sugarcane industry, it is a common method for beet juice purification in which the raw juice is treated with lime and carbon dioxide to separate non-sugar substances (Lambert et al, 2018). This thus presents an opportunity for on-site utilization of the previously captured carbon.…”

The innvestigation of the process streams integration in the multi­effect evaporation plant for the concentration of sorghum syrup

“…This enabled taking into consideration the specific features of sugar production with application of the principles of integration of thermal scheme of evaporation stations, considering the operation of auxiliary equipment, which was reflected, for example, in papers [11,12]. Paper [11] contains the analysis of contemporary approaches to energy saving in the processes of the multi-effect evaporation.…”

“…In article [12], a universal technique for modeling food processes with the methods of pinch-analysis and the exergy analysis was proposed. The methodology was applied to the process of production of sugar from beets.…”
