Advantage of Using Sugar Processing Chemicals
The use of process chemicals in the manufacture of raw sugar has evolved rapidly over the past thirty years. Innovations in every phase of the manufacturing process have been widely reported with varying degrees of success. Yet while one mill can show improvements resulting in direct economics benefits, there another mill that can show that thy do not work. With this obvious disparity there is often lack of confidence in process chemicals.
The result is that they are often inadequately used and improperly applied. Process chemicals do work, but there are multitudes if ever changing operational factors that alter the performance and hence the intended result. Often times factors beyond the control of the mill are the culprit briefly type of soil variety of cane method of harvesting, time between cutting and processing and even the weather dictate the conditions under which the mill must operate within the mill itself,mechanical problems leading to inefficient processing affect the quality of the product from grinding through final molasses exhaustion. If process chemicals are in use but not adjusted to compensate for the abnormal conditions,
