Structure
VEREIN DER ZUCKERINDUSTRIE
The EU Commission is supporting the
implementation of the directive as part of
its exchange of information by having
leaflets compiled on the „best available
techniques (BAT)“ by the European
Integrated Pollution Prevention and
Control (IPPC) Bureau in Sevilla,
Spain.
Background and Motivation
With the finalisation of the Council Directive 96/61/EC concerning „Integrated pollution prevention and control“, the so-called „IPPC Directive“, the concept of an integrated approach to reduce environmental pollution is being pursued at European Community level for the first time, with all installations covered by the directive now requiring permits.
VEREIN DER ZUCKERINDUSTRIE
• The efficient use of energy in the industry
helps avoid and/or control emissions in the
air, in water and in the ground as far as
possible.
•The formulation of the directive into a new
VDI guideline in Germany will set out
primary and secondary control measures
and new reduced emission figures for
production technology.
Background and Motivation
• The „food, drink and milk“ BREF gives information at community level on the best available techniques in the sugar industry to help promote the use of these techniques and to support the member countries effectively in their efforts to protect the environment.

Introduction precautions in the interest of the climate
Agreement between German sugar industry and the government board signed on 19.12.2000:
Reduction of the specific CO2 emissions of 41 – 45 % by 2005/06 Base year 1990: CO2 emissions/beet 148 kg/t
Target year 2005/06: 81 – 87 kg/t
achieved 2000/01: 84 kg/twith 288.5 kWh/ton of beet
Target achievement: almost 100 %

Introduction Specific energy consumption in the
German sugar industry
Since 1990 > 300 Million € have been invested in projects for combined heat and power generation (CHP).
Degree of efficiency of heat and power combinations > 90 %
Introduction Energy conversion in a beet sugar factory
and VDI extra edition 2594
Main flows of energy and technical processes are more closely interlinked than in any other sector of industry.
Amount of energy usedSugar production : Dried pulp production

VEREIN DER ZUCKERINDUSTRIEEnergy aspects
of the dewatering process for beet cossettes
Production of dried pulp with 90 % dry substance and 10 % water from extracted cossettes with 10 (- 14) % dry substance and 90 % water
in 2 dewatering stages: mechanical thermal
Amount of energy usedkWh/t water approx. 30 approx. 3.000

Target: To remove as much water as possible mechanically.

Other mechanical dewatering processes % dry substance in the pressed pulp
• Diffusive dewatering: 65 in combination with evaporation plant to concentrate the press water Disadvantage: no suitable separation of solids/liquids
• High-pressure, multi-layer pressing: 50 Filter band press: 300 bar; 15 min. pressing time Disadvantage: no suitable filter cloth quality
no reliable control of the 300 hydraulic control loops
• Extraction under alkaline conditions 45 – 50 Pilot installations in France, Germany and England
VEREIN DER ZUCKERINDUSTRIEEnergy aspects
of dewatering process for beet cossettes
Combination of electroporation and alkaline extraction
• Alkaline extraction results in increased deposits of calcium ions and thus to a definite increase in the pressability of the extracted cossettes - Dry substance (DS) content of extracted cossettes : 40 - 45 % (an increase of approx. 10 % DS)• Opening the cells by electroporation to prepare for deposit of calcium ions - opening the cell membranes by high voltage impulses
• high voltage impulses: a voltage of several hundred kV for the duration of approx. 1 µsec
• low energy demand: approx. 1 kWh/t beet
VEREIN DER ZUCKERINDUSTRIE
Energy aspects of dewatering process for beet cossettes
Changes in the mechanical properties of beet due to electroporation
• Electroporation increases the flexibility of the cossettes considerably and enables them to stand up to heavier mechanical stress.

Summary of the examples of installations
Investment costs plus net running costs of the dryer for the individual variations:
• High temperature dryers 38.4 Mio. €
• Low/high temperature dryers 40.7 Mio. €
• Steam dryer 40.9 Mio. €
Characterisation of the technology:At the present time steam drying is the best available technique for new sugar factory construction or for complete reconstruction of energy production and heat control systems. However, it cannot be integrated easily into a normal existing factory.
VEREIN DER ZUCKERINDUSTRIE
Advantages achieved by steam drying
Main achievement - Improvements for the environment with regard to emissions and energy consumption:
• Emissions are avoided by direct primary use of energy for drying.
• No application of steam-volatile and odorous vapours.
• Energy consumption 30% less than in a factory with direct drying.
Inter-media effects• Transfer of the exhaust fumes into the effluent (approx. 1.200 m3
effluent with a chemical oxygen requirement of 1.500 mg/l and a NH4-content of 25 mg/l).
