Industries / Sugar & starch

Sugar and starch effluent treatment. ETPs for sugar mills, starch and glucose plants.

What makes sugar & starch effluent difficult

Sugar and starch losses make the effluent strong and fast to turn septic.

Crushing seasons mean the plant must start up quickly each year.

Recycling condensate and process water saves significant cost.

Chemical-free by design. No daily dosing and no chemical sludge. Only biological sludge, which can be used as manure. Why it costs less to run

Site audit and effluent analysis before any design
Process design and DPR sized to your flow and board discharge norms
Clarifiers and MGF + ACF filters supplied by us
Installation supervision by our engineers
Commissioning by our engineers, guaranteed to work at the agreed design flow and load
Board queries answered by us: any pollution control board question about our design or equipment

How do you handle seasonal start-up?

We design for quick re-start after the off-season and advise on keeping the biology alive between seasons.

Can we reduce fresh water use?

Yes. Recycling treated water and condensate is often the biggest saving in a sugar or starch plant.
