“Purity You Can See – Brightness You Can Taste.”
Innova Activated Carbon is a highly porous adsorbent widely used in the sugar industry for
decolorization and purification of sugar solutions. Its large surface area and micro-porous structure
allow it to effectively remove colorants, residual organic impurities, and undesirable odor or taste
compounds from cane or beet sugar juice.
Role in Sugar Processing
During sugar manufacturing, the raw juice contains natural pigments (polyphenols, caramels, melanoidins)
that impart dark coloration and affect the final sugar quality. Activated Carbon adsorption is the most
efficient method to achieve:
Decolorization of sugar syrups and juices
Removal of organic impurities and turbidity
Improved brightness and whiteness of sugar crystals
Enhanced taste and market value of refined sugar
Grades & Types of Activated Carbon for Sugar Mills
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC): Fast-acting, suitable for batch treatment and clarification.
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC): Used in fixed-bed columns for continuous sugar syrup treatment.
Specialized Grades: Based on coconut shell, coal, or wood, tailored for high adsorption capacity and
rapid decolorization.
Benefits in Sugar Industry Applications
Superior color removal efficiency (low ICUMSA values)
Consistent and high-quality refined sugar output
Cost-effective solution with low dosage requirements
Regenerable and reusable grades for long-term economy
Compliance with food-grade standards for safe use
Application
Activated Carbon is applied in juice clarification, syrup purification, and refinery decolorization
stages. The exact dosage and grade selection depend on juice quality, color load, and plant design.
Innova Activated Carbon is an essential purification aid in modern sugar refineries. With its high
adsorption capacity and proven efficiency, it ensures bright, pure, and premium-grade sugar that meets
international quality standards.
