Innovacorp India Pvt Ltd manufactures and supplies juice clarification chemicals for sugar mills in Nepal. The program covers flocculants, pH control chemicals, and settling aids used at the clarifier. Technical support is provided remotely from our New Delhi office.

What Clarification Actually Involves

Clarification is not a single chemical step. It is a sequence. First, the juice pH is set to the range where the impurities are least soluble. Second, a coagulant or pH control chemical destabilises the colloidal particles. Third, a flocculant binds those particles into flocs. Fourth, the flocs settle, and the clear juice is decanted from the top. If any step is out of balance, the clarifier underperforms — either the flocs are too small to settle, or the mud is too bulky to filter, or the clarified juice still carries colour. This is why a clarification program is set as a whole, not as separate products.

The Three Components of the Program

Component	Role at the Clarifier	Typical Dose Range
pH control chemical	Sets juice pH to the range where impurities precipitate and clarification works.	Set by juice pH — finalised after jar test.
Coagulant	Destabilises colloidal particles so they can come together.	Set by turbidity — finalised after jar test.
Flocculant	Binds destabilised particles into flocs that settle and filter cleanly.	1 to 10 ppm on juice — finalised after jar test.

How the Flocculant Fits In

The flocculant is the last chemical added before the clarifier. It is a high-molecular-weight polymer — anionic for cane juice clarification — that bridges across multiple particles and binds them into a floc. The floc needs to be large enough to settle, but not so large that it traps juice and increases sucrose loss in the mud. Dose, preparation concentration, and dosing point all affect this balance. We set the dose after a jar test on your juice, using your process conditions.

Preparation and Dosing

Flocculant is prepared as a dilute solution — typically 0.1 to 0.5 percent — in a dedicated dosing tank with slow agitation. The solution is aged for a defined time and then dosed into the juice line ahead of the clarifier. pH control chemicals and coagulants are dosed separately, upstream of the flocculant. The dosing sequence matters — if the flocculant is added before the pH is in range, the flocs will not form properly.

What the Program Supports

• Clarified juice with lower suspended solids carryover into evaporation.
• Compact mud that filters cleanly on the rotary vacuum filter.
• Reduced sucrose loss in the mud.
• Stable clarifier performance through the crushing season.

Where a Separate Step Is Needed

Flocculant removes suspended solids and turbidity. Colour reduction requires a separate decolorizing step downstream — flocculant alone will not lower ICUMSA colour. The program also relies on a jar test to set the dose; every mill's juice is different, and the dose is set on your juice, not from a general table. Within those limits, the program helps the clarifier remove suspended solids cleanly and supports filtration.

Questions Plant Teams Ask

Which juice clarification chemicals does Innovacorp supply to sugar mills in Nepal?

We manufacture and supply flocculants, pH control chemicals, and settling aids for juice clarification in Nepal sugar mills. The product mix is set after a jar test on your juice.

What is the difference between flocculant and other clarification chemicals?

Flocculant is the polymer that binds suspended particles into flocs. pH control chemicals set the juice pH in the range where clarification works best. Settling aids support the floc structure. Each has a separate role, and the program is set after a jar test.

What is the typical dosage of clarification chemicals in Nepal mills?

Dosage depends on the mud volume, juice pH, and clarifier design. Flocculant is typically dosed at 1 to 10 ppm on juice, with pH control and settling aids set accordingly. The dose is set after a jar test on your juice.

How are juice clarification chemicals packed for a Nepal mill?

Powder grades are supplied in 5 kg, 25 kg and 50 kg bags, and liquid grades in 5 L, 20 L, 35 L and 200 L HDPE carboys and drums. Pack sizes for a specific mill loading are shared on request. Call +91-9312871070 for a technical discussion.
