Sugar Industry
Sugar is a sweet crystalline substance obtained from various plants, especially sugar cane and sugar beet, consisting essentially of sucrose, and used as a sweetener in food and drinks.
Problems
Sugar is widely used in all parts of the world. However, sugar is extremely hygroscopic, and absorbs moisture very quickly, creating innumerable operational problems during storage and packing.
Humidity can also lead to problems like:
- Malfunction of the turbine during its idle stage
- Mold growth and spoilage of sugar
- Condensation inside the silo leading to stickiness and make it difficult to transfer sugar
- Moisture absorption while conveying affects the final product and spoils the material
- Conveying sugar due to agglomeration
TDS services for Sugar Industry:
- During preservation of turbines and critical electromechanical equipment, relative humidity should be maintained at 15%-30% RH at 24ºC (75ºF) temperature
- Relative humidity at sugar storage areas should be maintained at 20% RH and temperature should be 24°C (75°F)
- Brown Sugar or raw sugar to be manufactured in a condition where the relative humidity is below 40% RH level
- At the packaging area, the recommended RH level is 30% and temperature should be 25-30ºC
TDS specializes in dehumidification, temperature control, and ventilation services along with skilled manpower for short term requirements. The TDS services to the sugar industry have been divided into the following segment:
TDS offers the following services for
Sugar Industry:
Industrial Project Solution
- Preservation of turbines during its idle period to prevent it from corrosion
- Humidity control during production of sugar cubes, brown sugar, and special sugar, to prevent it from lumping
- Humidity control during packaging of sugar pouch/sachet, ensuring free flow of sugar
- Humidity control in the sulphur furnace to avoid the generation of sulphuric acid
- Humidity and temperature control in FBD system to avoid condensation inside the packing bags
Surface Preparation and Coating
- Humidity and temperature control during rubber lining jobs inside tanks
- Humidity control during coating, painting and welding of juice pumps
Safe Confined Area Access
- Humidity control, temperature control, and ventilation during maintenance jobs in tanks and confined areas. This enables workers to do maintenance jobs in a fresh air that lead to increase in efficiency.
