Refinery - Import export

DSEC has dedicated special attention to the design of sugar refinery EPC construction with particular emphasis on energetic efficiency and white sugar quality. A considerable portion of the sugar market is located in areas where neither beet nor cane can be cultivated. Such markets can be fed by large bulk ships with raw cane sugar that needs to be further refined before being commercialized. As the quality of the raw sugar available on the international market varies considerably depending on its origin, DSEC has developed alternative concepts to adapt the refinery design to the feedstock to be processed. The selected alternative for a refined sugar production will be defined after contemplating the necessity of a raw sugar affination (washing) step before the mandatory re-melting operation. Different purification or possibly decoloration technologies will also be analyzed by DSEC so as to optimize capital expenditures in function of feedstock and finished products as well as of the local environment.
