Sugar process chemicals for sugar mills in Bhutan

Sugar Chemicals for Mills in Bhutan

Innovacorp India Pvt Ltd is a manufacturer, exporter, and supplier of sugar chemicals in Bhutan. Our range covers juice clarification chemicals, decolourising agents, mill sanitation biocides, evaporator antiscalants, defoamers and viscosity modifiers. Sugar processing has many chemical touchpoints — from the milling tandem to the boiling house to the boiler and ETP — and each one has its own constraints. The right program is built around the mill's juice profile, water chemistry and process stage, not a fixed list of products.

Why Sugar Chemicals Matter

A sugar mill runs on a chain of chemical decisions: how well the juice clarifies, how much sucrose is lost to microbial activity, how much scale builds on evaporator tubes, how stable the boiler water is, and how well the ETP handles the load. Each of these is influenced by a different chemical — a polyelectrolyte for settling, a biocide for microbial control, an antiscalant for evaporators, an oxygen scavenger for the boiler, and a bio-culture for the ETP. The chemistry has to work together, not in isolation. That is why a mill-scale program is built around the plant's actual conditions, confirmed through jar tests and plant trials.

Where It Is Used

  • Milling and extraction: Microbial control at the milling tandem to reduce sucrose loss to dextran and other polysaccharides.
  • Juice clarification: Polyelectrolytes and flocculants for mud settling and juice clarity.
  • Decolourisation: Colour precipitants and adsorbents for ICUMSA colour reduction.
  • Evaporation and crystallisation: Antiscalants, viscosity modifiers and defoamers for stable evaporator and pan performance.
  • Utilities and ETP: Boiler water chemicals and effluent treatment aids for mill utilities.
  • Distillery and ethanol units: Fermentation aids for allied sugar complexes.

Types We Manufacture, Export & Supply in Bhutan

  • Juice clarification chemicals: Anionic polyelectrolytes and polyDADMAC for clarification and mud settling.
  • Decolourising agents: Colour precipitants and adsorbents for ICUMSA colour reduction in refined sugar.
  • Mill sanitation biocides: Oxidising and non-oxidising grades, including silver-stabilised hydrogen peroxide where permitted, for microbial control in juice and process streams.
  • Evaporator antiscalants: For multi-effect evaporators (MEE) to slow scale deposition on heat transfer surfaces.
  • Defoamers and antifoams: Silicone and non-silicone grades for evaporation and fermentation; grade selection depends on the process stage.
  • Viscosity modifiers: For massecuite and molasses handling, to improve pan boiling and centrifugal performance.
  • Boiler and ETP chemicals: Oxygen scavengers, scale inhibitors and ETP bio-cultures for mill utilities.

Specification Table

Because sugar chemicals cover a wide product range, the table below gives indicative ranges. Actual specification is confirmed per product against the datasheet.

Property Typical Range
AppearanceLiquid, powder or granular (product dependent)
pH (as supplied)1.5 – 12.0 (product dependent)
Active content20% – 99% (product dependent)
Density (at 25°C)0.95 – 1.30 g/cm³ (liquid products)
SolubilityWater-soluble or water-dispersible (product dependent)
Shelf life12 – 24 months in unopened original packing (product dependent)
StorageProduct-specific; refer to SDS for each chemical

Final specification is confirmed against the product datasheet and after a plant trial on your process.

Application and Dosage

Dosage depends on the process stage, the stream and the target result. Representative starting ranges:

  • Juice clarification (polyelectrolyte): 1 – 5 ppm on juice, confirmed by jar test.
  • Juice clarification (polyDADMAC): 5 – 30 ppm on juice, confirmed by jar test.
  • Mill sanitation biocide: Dose confirmed against the target residual and the contact time in the process stream.
  • Evaporator antiscalant: 5 – 20 ppm on syrup, adjusted to the scale load.
  • Defoamer: 5 – 50 ppm on process stream, adjusted to the foam severity.
  • Viscosity modifier: Dose confirmed against the massecuite composition and the pan boiling target.

Feed points, dosing method and program design are discussed with your process engineers. Final dosage is confirmed after a jar test or plant trial.

Packing

  • 35 kg / 50 kg HDPE carboys and drums (liquids)
  • 200 kg HDPE drums (liquids)
  • 25 kg HDPE-lined bags (powders)
  • 1,000 kg IBC tanks (liquids)
  • 500 kg / 1,000 kg jumbo bags (powders)

Key Benefits

  • Helps improve juice clarity and mud settling when used as part of a clarification program.
  • Supports sucrose recovery by reducing microbial losses in juice and process streams.
  • Helps protect evaporator heat transfer surfaces from scale deposition.
  • Supports stable colour values across the campaign when decolourisation is tuned to the syrup load.
  • Programs are tailored to the mill's process conditions, water chemistry and product mix.

Technical Support

Sugar chemicals work only when the program matches the mill's process conditions. We work with your process engineers on juice profile review, water chemistry analysis, dosage calculation and program reviews across the campaign. Final specification, dosage and packaging are confirmed after a plant trial on your process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How do sugar mill biocides help reduce sucrose loss?
Sucrose loss in a sugar mill is often driven by microbial activity — Leuconostoc and other bacteria convert sucrose into dextran and other polysaccharides. Mill sanitation biocides help control these microbes at the crushing stage, which supports sucrose recovery. Innovacorp manufactures, exports and supplies these biocides for sugar mills in Bhutan.

Q2. What is the role of viscosity reducers in sugar processing?
Viscosity reducers are used in massecuite and molasses handling to improve fluidity. Better fluidity supports boiling, crystallisation and centrifugal separation, and can reduce energy consumption in those stages. The actual effect depends on the massecuite composition and the process conditions.

Q3. How do evaporator antiscalants help sugar mills?
Evaporator antiscalants slow the deposition of scale on heat transfer surfaces. This helps maintain heat transfer efficiency and reduce the frequency of evaporator cleaning, which is a scheduled downtime event in most mills.

Q4. Do you supply sugar chemicals in bulk across Bhutan?
Yes. We supply in bulk to sugar mills and refineries across Bhutan. Packing options and dosing programs are discussed with your process engineers based on the process stage, microbial load and the target outcome.
