DSEC plays an important role in the definition of the most appropriate type of diffuser and also selects the best available technology to be applied for juice purification – with or without decalcification – as well as in the selection of units such as milk of lime preparation and anhydrous carbonic gas production.<\/p>\n

Further to diffusion, the juice is filtered and concentrated into syrup in a multiple effects evaporation installation.\u00a0 This syrup is then treated in the crystallisation unit that generates sugar and allows eliminating remaining impurities in the molasses. \u00a0DSEC\u2019s simulation model<\/strong><\/a> is of paramount importance at this stage to define the most efficient energy set-up<\/strong> as well as to size any single equipment of the line.\u00a0 DSEC dedicates particular care to sugar drying, cooling, maturation and storage operations that are critical for subsequent packing and commercialisation of finished products.<\/p>\n

DSEC also provides solutions for the use of the fibrous residue of the diffusion (pulp) that presents a considerable nutritive value that is worth commercialising after pressing and possibly drying for the production of pellets.\u00a0 Low temperature pulp dryers can be foreseen in order to decrease the plant overall energy consumption<\/strong> by using low energetic fluids recovered from the process.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” css=”.vc_custom_1595855320436{background-color: #027983 !important;}” el_class=”pt-2 pb-5″][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”DSEC IS ACTIVE IN SUGARS & ETHANOL RELATED PRODUCTION INDUSTRIES” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”slideInUp” el_class=”pb-2″]
