Sugar Refinery
Industrial mineral solutions — PT Wira Energi Utama, North Sulawesi
Sugar Refinery Overview
The sugar refining process requires quicklime or lime milk to remove non-sugar impurities through clarification.
Products Used
Bahan utama pembuatan susu kapur (lime milk) di pabrik gula
Umpan kiln kapur internal pabrik gula
Role of Limestone / CaCO3 in Sugar Refinery
Lime reacts with phosphoric acid in juice to form calcium phosphate, binding impurities (defecation).
Technical Requirements
| Parameter | Value / Standard |
|---|---|
| Available CaO | > 90% |
| MgO Maksimum | < 1.0% |
| Reaktivitas | High Reactivity (T60 < 2 min) |
| Fe2O3 | < 0.1% |
Process Integration
- 1
Slaking
Kapur bakar dicampur air panas untuk menjadi lime milk berkepadatan terukur.
- 2
Liming/Defekasi
Lime milk ditambahkan ke nira mentah untuk menetralkan asam organik.
- 3
Carbonation
Gas CO2 dialirkan untuk mengendapkan kalsium karbonat bersama pengotor.
- 4
Filtrasi
Endapan dipisahkan, menghasilkan nira jernih siap kristalisasi.
Industry Pain Points
Kadar MgO tinggi menyebabkan kerak (scaling) pada evaporator pabrik gula
Kapur yang lambat bereaksi meninggalkan sisa CaO bebas yang merusak rasa gula
