SERRANO-FEBLES, Jonathan; LUIS-LEON, Maylín  and  LUIS-OROZCO, Jesús. Analysis of the Operational Variables in the Extraction Stage of a Sugar Mill. Ing. Desarro. [online]. 2022, vol.40, n.2, pp.114-130.  Epub Apr 10, 2023. ISSN 0122-3461.  https://doi.org/10.14482/inde.40.02.624.749.

This work aims to evaluate the extraction stage of the raw sugar manufacturing process in a sugar mill, based on real data, from different points of view. For this purpose, data was collected from all operational variables and laboratory determinations for 12 days, and regression analyzes were carried out, in order to determine if there are logical relationships between the variables that are supposedly correlated. Moreover, from processing and analysis, ground cane, sucrose content in bagasse (Pol in bagasse) and a percentage of drinking water, was found to not comply with the standard. Overall, based on the analyzes performed, operational variants are proposed for a better and more efficient use of the drinking water and the energy resources of the analyzed industry.

Keywords : imbibition; milling; sugar production; sugar cane.
