Sotecma engineered many modifications to the existing plant in order to increase its capacity, reduce contamination and get much better results on efficiency of the plant.

The project involves the following:

• a complete new sugar mechanical refining system prior to the process to increase conching capacity;
• increase efficiency on the cooling system for the liquor reservoir and conches;
• modification to the batching system that uses more bins directly above the batching scale;
• addition of new minor batching system to improve efficiency on the batching; and
• review of the deficient pneumatic handling system in order to speed up the process to minimize down time and to reduce product degradation.
