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.

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
over the drum. Hot water is sprayed by Nozzles on the drum. Remaining juice
and washing water is sucked through tubes by vacuum. Sucked filtered juice is
returned to defecation tank and mud is sent out by scrapping the mud from
drums of vacuum filters. It is manure for cane growers.

EVAPORATORS (07 NOS.)
Decanted juice from juice clarifier called clear juice is taken into series of
evaporators. It is boiled with help of exhaust steam (obtained from turbines of
mills and power house). The thick juice obtained from evaporators called
syrup is fed to pans.
VACUUM PANS (RAW SIDE) FOR A, B & C MASSECUITES.
Batch Pan (04Nos.) Capacity 70Ton each.Conti Pan (02 Nos.) Capacity 68m3 each.Conti Pan (02 Nos.) Capacity 102m3 each.
The syrup is fed into pans where it is again boiled to produce mixture of
crystals and molasses called A Massecuite. Prepared massecuite is dropped
into crystallizers.
MASSECUITE CRYSTALLIZERS (13 NOS.) (RAW SIDE)
Prepared massecuite from pans is sent into crystallizers for further
crystallization by motion of massecuite by scrolls driven by gear and motor.
The massecuite is transferred to centrifugal station by massecuites pumps.
Centrifugal K-1100 (25 Nos.) (Raw Side)
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

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.

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.

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
Sugar Mills is also away from KLP, this help the easy transportation of machinery etc.
So in the end I just want to say that Etihad Sugar Mills Limited is a good place a Sugar
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.

Recommendations for Improvement
1. Mark-up free loan to the growers may be given to bring improvements in sugar industry as well as in Rahim Yar Khan District.
2. Maximum sowing of sugarcane may be ensured to avoid stoppages due to no-cane during the seasons.
3. I.T. section of Etihad Sugar Mills Limited, required to taken on line the circle office for instant updation of grower’s record.
4. Gifts may be given to the trolley / truck drivers, this will help to increase in supply of sugarcane by the growers.
5. The salary of lower staff may be improved so that they can perform duty without any tension.
6. Mechanical staff may be directed to remain vigilant to avoid any mechanical stoppage, which will discourage the growers and they shall supply their sugarcane to another sugar mills.
7. Increase in the number of circle offices to cater the needs of ever increasing no of potential growers.
