First Announcement The Process Workshop of the Factory Commission will be held in Saint Denis, Reunion Island from 20 to 23 October 2008 and will be hosted by the Centre d'Essai de Recherche et de Formation (CERF). Although Reunion Island is a minor sugarcane producer, it has a history of innovation with technologists of international repute such as Emile Hugot, Maxime Rivière and François Langreney. It was one of the first cane sugar industries to undertake cogeneration of electricity. The workshop will, over three days, explore the effects of green cane harvesting on all the factory processes from cane reception, sampling and analysis through to product sugar quality and molasses exhaustion. In Reunion, sugarcane is harvested green and the two factories have adapted well to this practice. A day will be devoted to visit the two sugar factories of the Island. Technologies of interest include new design falling film evaporators, sextuple effect evaporator sets, high level of automation and many other innovative technologies. Direct flights are available from South Africa, Paris, Mauritius and Madagascar. If you fly via Paris and according your nationality, you may need two kinds of visas. Please check with the appropriate authorities regarding the visa requirements applicable to your nationality. For further information please contact the organizer or visit the website given below:
