“Efficient Settling. Cleaner Juice. Higher Sugar Recovery.”
In sugar manufacturing, clarification and settling are crucial steps to remove impurities from raw cane
juice. During clarification, non-sugar impurities, colloids, and suspended solids form sludge, which can
be viscous, sticky, and difficult to settle. Improper sludge handling leads to loss of sugar, slower
filtration, higher operational costs, and reduced process efficiency.Sludge Conditioners are specialized
chemicals that improve the settling and dewatering characteristics of sludge, ensuring efficient
clarification and higher sugar recovery.
Technical Overview
Sludge Conditioners are polyelectrolyte-based or polymeric chemicals that enhance flocculation and
dewatering of sludge in sugar mills. By promoting aggregation of fine particles, they help the sludge
settle faster and release entrapped juice, minimizing losses and improving the overall efficiency of
juice clarification.
Mode of Action:
Floc Formation – Binds fine particles and impurities into larger, settleable flocs.
Viscosity Reduction – Reduces the stickiness and viscosity of sludge, aiding faster settling.
Enhanced Dewatering – Improves water release from settled sludge, recovering more juice.
Synergistic Effect – Works effectively with lime, polyelectrolytes, and other clarifying agents.
Applications in Sugar Industry:
Raw juice clarification
Settling tanks and clarifiers.
Evaporation process where residual sludge impacts efficiency.
