Introduction to sugar and sugar industry

The word sugar originates from the Sanskrit word sharkara which means sugar. It may

also be traced through all the Aryan languages, as schaker in Persian, sukkar in Arabic,

sincer in Assyrian, zucchero in Italian, sucre in French, zucher in German, saccharum in

Latin and ozucarin Spanish etc stand as Testimony for its origin from sharkara.

Sugar is a major form of carbohydrates and is found probably in all green plants. It

occurs in significant amounts in most fruits and vegetables. There are three main simple

sugars Sucrose, Fructose and Glucose. Sucrose is in fact a combination of fructose and

glucose and the body quickly breaks down into these separate substances.

All energy stored in food is derived originally from the sun and it is made by green plant

life. The sun's energy acts upon the green chemical "chlorophyll" in the leaves of plants

to produce sugars and starches from the carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere and the

water from the roots by a process known as Photosynthesis. These carbohydrates

(starches and sugar) acts as a plants food and energy supply. The energy need of

human body is largely dependent on the carbohydrates that are derived from plants.

The sugar is one of the essential commodities of the life which plays very important role

in the dietary of human beings as it quickly raises the level of glucose in the blood.

The sugar can be produced by many of the sources, but two are the main sources for

production of sugar in Pakistan i.e. Sugarcane and Sugar Beet. The other sources are

Maple, Palm, Coconut and Apple, but these sources are costly and their production is in

negligible quantities. But, the main crop which is being used for production of Sugar all

over the world is Sugarcane.

In a nut shell, the process for sugarcane refining is carried out in following steps 

Pressing of sugarcane to extract the juice.

Boiling the juice until it begins to thicken and sugar begins to crystallize.

Spinning the crystals in a centrifuge to remove the syrup, producing raw sugar.

Refining the raw sugar by washing and filtering to remove remaining non-sugar

ingredients and color.

Crystallizing, drying and packaging the refined sugar

Beet sugar processing is similar, but it is done in one continuous process without the

raw sugar stage. The sugar beets are washed, sliced and soaked in hot water to

separate the sugar-containing juice from the beet fiber. The sugar-laden juice is then

purified, filtered, concentrated and dried in a series of steps similar to cane sugar

processing.

For the sugar industry, capacity utilization is conceptually different from that applicable

to industries in general. It depends on three crucial factors the actual number of ton of

sugarcane crushed in a day, the recovery rate which generally depends on the quality of

the cane and actual length of the crushing season. 

In Pakistan, the sugar industry possesses the organized and unorganized players. The

unorganized players mainly produce Gur and Shakkar, the less refined forms of sugar

and the organized players are Sugar Mills owners.

In the world, the Brazil is a country that is largest producer of sugarcane as well as

Refined Sugar.

time, juice is passed through secondary juice heaters.

3. Secondary Juice Heaters (03 Nos.) (H.S. 350m2 each)

Limed mixed juice is passed through secondary juice heaters and

temperature is raised upto 105ºC for further treatment in juice clarifiers.

4. Juice Clarifier (03 Nos.) (Capacity 170m3 each)

After secondary heating poly electrolyte is used before entering of juice in

clarifiers it stays there for 1 to 1:30 hours to complete the reaction between

M.O.L. and impurities of the juice. The impurities settle down in the clarifier.

Settling is speedy by addition of poly electrolyte. The clear juice from

clarifier is decanted and passed through rotary screens. This filtered juice

is sent to series of evaporators. Settled impurities (Muddy Juice) is taken

out from the bottom of the clarifiers and is sent to vacuum filters for

filteration.

VACUUM FILTERS (04 NOS.) FILTERING AREA (58M2 EACH)

Muddy juice taken from clarifiers is mixed with Bagacillo in Mud Mixer and sent

to the troughs of vacuum filters. Vacuum filter drum rotates and mud climbs

Massecuite is passed through centrifugals which separates crystals of sugar

and molasses. First separate molasses, “A” Heavy is again boiled in B-Pans

for B-Massecuite. B-Massecuite is again passed through centrifugals for

separation of sugar crystals and molasses. This obtained molasses called B-

Heavy is again boiled in C-Pans for C-Massecuite. C-Massecuite is again

passed through centrifugals for separation of sugar crystals and final

molasses. This final molasses is sent out in molasses ponds for sale as a raw

material for distilleries and sugar crystals separated from B & C Massecuite

are used as seed in pans and sugar crystals obtained from A-Massecuite are

taken into sugar remelter.

SUGAR REMELTER (CAPACITY 30TON/HR.)

Here sugar is remelted by using hot water and steam with 02 Nos. stirrers.

This remelt is called raw liquor. This raw liquor is sent to Talo station.

TALO CLARIFIER

Raw liquor before taking into clarifier is treated with phosphoric acid, colour

quest, lime sucrate and talo float. These chemicals are used to remove

remaining impurities in sugar. In talo clarifier with some retention time these

impurities float up in clarfier and clear liquor is taken out from bottom side.

Floated impurities called scum is removed from clarifier by scraper driven by

gear and motor. The clear (fine) liquor is sent to pan station. The removed

Page 28: Internship Report

serum is sent back to defecation tank.

REFINE PANS (05 NOS.) (CAPACITY 70 TON EACH)

Fine liquor is taken into pan. It is boiled for some time to get required brix for

crystallization. Very small fine crystals seed (obtained from the sugar grader

not bagable) is fed into it. Required crystal size is obtained by further boiling

called the refine massecuite. Prepared massecuite is dropped into

crystallizers. From which it is pumped to refine centrifugals for separation of

crystals and molasses.

REFINE CENTRIFUGALS TSK (03 NOS.)

Refine centrifugals are automatic batch type centrifugals which separates fine

sugar crystals and molasses. This molasses is reused for making more refine

massecuites. Fine crystals (Sugar) is dropped into hopper which shift it to

sugar dryers.

SUGAR DRYER (02 NOS.)

While sugar passes through these dryers, remaining moisture is removed by

blowing hot air through them. Hot air is passed by fans called blowers fitted for

this purpose.

SUGAR ELEVATORS. (02 NOS.)

Elevators lift the dried sugar through buckets at some height and feed to sugar

grader for its size wise separation.

SUGAR GRADERS (02 NOS.)

Here, sugar travels over graders moving to and for. At sugar grader frames of

screens of different mesh are fitted. Through which fine, very small crystals

(seed) and extra large size crystals are separated and sugar crystals of

required size drop into sugar bins.

SUGAR BINS (03 NOS.)

Sugar bins are used for holding bag able sugar.

AUTOMATIC WEIGHING MACHINE (02 NOS.)

Automatic weighing machines are installed under sugar bins, machine drops

sugar after 50Kgs accurate weight into poly propylene bag attached under it

manually. The weight of these bags is re-checked by electronic weighing

scales kept under. After that the bags sewing is done by sewing machines (02

Nos.) fitted over wooden conveyors. These sewed bags are sent to sugar

godown where it is stacked upto the height of 50 layers by sugar stacker.

opportunities and threats for external environment of the bank respectively.

Strengths

Problem solving and understand management attitude.

Lecture programme on fire fighting and safety measures is delivered to the employees to avoid any disaster situation.

Strong and healthy working relationship with growers.

Nearest growers are like to supply their sugarcane to Etihad Sugar Mills Limited and

they avoid to go other sugar mills having long distance as compared to Etihad Sugar

Mills Ltd.

Due to provision of loans to the growers, the growers are bound to their sugarcane

to Etihad Sugar Mills Limited.

Due to payment at the spot, the growers supply their sugarcane to Etihad Sugar

Mills Limited, because they want payment for the urgencies.

Provision of guidelines to the growers to have better yield per acre.

Due to nearest sugar mills of rahim yar khan city, it just takes 25 minutes to travel to

Mills or to the city. However, other competitors are away and minimum travel

required is one hour.

Weaknesses

Limited number of circle offices at nearest main stations only

Due to price war in sugar mills, the benefits goes toe the grower and the sugra mills

management had to pay extra money to the grower.

Salary package of lower staff is low as compared to other sugar mills.

Mills colony yet not been constructed and employees forcefully residing in city away

from mills about 30 KM and travel on daily basis who residing in city area.

No school for employee’s children is present there.

Page 47: Internship Report

Opportunities

Expansion of circle offices in outer stations, where circle office not exists.

Outreach to growers especially far flung areas.

The land of the vicinity is very fruitful for the sugar Mills.

The area at Etihad Sugar Mills Limited is shining area of the Punjab for production of

sugarcane.

Threats

Changes in policies suffer the growers as well as employees.

Most of the staff is illiterate but is experienced.

Lack of non-technical knowledge.

No electronically connection with circle offices except mobile phone.

Non provision of proper transport to the field staff.

Conclusion

To summarize the things I would like to say that in a short span of time Etihad Sugar

Mills Limited, Rahim Yar Khan has developed itself maximum, but still some

development is required and is under process. Although, it is achieving a land mark

amongst all the competitors of the area. Its first operation was started on 28 th

December, 2006. Due to installation of Etihad Sugar Mills Limited, the nearest famous

station is Iqbalabad, which has developed rapidly, before installation of this Mills, it was

just like a small town (non-developed) now due to installation of this Mills, there is a

Bank recently opened with the name of DAWOOD Islamic Bank and many other

developments taken place.

Since, this mills is newly installed and yet not completed its construction, installation and

other jobs, therefore, have some loss and some profits in the season. Insha ALLAH, this

mill will recover all previous losses within 2-3 crushing seasons only.

This sugar mills is situated at KLP road and this facility has own only by Hamza Sugar

Mills Limited and RYK Mills Limited, both the JDW units are away from KLP and Ghotki

Mill and to excel in the sugar industry with its promising location and products.

In the future, this Mills will be a market leader sugar mill of the area.
