Full Steam Ahead for European Sugar Refinery

Steam is vital for sugar production as it’s used for washing, heating, cooking and evaporating processes. The entire production process - from beet to sugar - runs through several stages: the first step is the harvesting, washing and grating of the beets. The small particles are then submerged in warm water so that they release bits of sugar (i.e. the diffusion process) and the impurities are filtered out. The next step is to increase the sugar concentration in the extraction fluid through evaporating, cooking, centrifuging and drying processes. Repeating this step leads to the final product: the crystal sugar.

Our steam boilers were introduced during the evaporation process, where high-pressure steam is used to heat the extraction fluid. But why are our steam boilers the most efficient on the market? We're not satisfied with just delivering reliable boilers. Sustainability is a must, and the only way to offer the highest efficiency is to add smoke economizers to the boilers. This integrated smoke heat recovery system is added to heat up feed water before it enters the boiler to generate steam. This advanced technology ensures an energy-efficient process and, of course, fuel savings.

The brand-new 16 t/h units are all dual fuel, so they can be powered by either natural gas or light fuel oil. To guarantee a reliable solution, we also deliver matching accessories, such as pressure reducers, feed water tanks (hot wells), water treatment and pressure relief tanks.
