"Green cane impact on sugar processing"

   

The Process Workshop of the Factory Commission was held in Saint Denis, Reunion Island from 20 to 23 October 2008 and was hosted by eRcane formerly Centre d'Essai de Recherche et de Formation (CERF).

During the three days, the participants have explored 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.

A day was 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.
