Enhancing juice extraction processReliable and accurate tools provide data necessary to keep the sugar industry sweet.

Sugar is a fundamental ingredient found in most plant forms, but is only found in concentrations significant for extraction in sugar cane and sugar beet. The local South African sugar industry, valued at R14 billon, ranks in the top 15 out of approximately 120 sugar producing countries globally with a focus on the processing and extraction of sugar cane. The industry provides employment in relatively rural areas that are traditionally job starved regions, where there is little economic activity or employment opportunities.

The Sugar Industry is a diverse one, combining the agricultural activities of sugar cane cultivation with the manufacturing of raw and refined sugar, syrups, specialised sugars and a range of by-products. The sugar juice extraction processCane delivery is the initial stage of the sugar and ethanol production process. When the sugar cane arrives at the mill, it is weighed and analysed in the laboratory to determine the amount of sucrose it contains. Thereafter, the cane is moved to the feed tables to remove the impurities and foreign objects. During the

preparation stage after delivery, the sugar cane is chopped, shredded and levelled prior to sending to the mills.

The sugar cane juice is extracted either by using mills or presses. The juice extracted during the first milling phase is known as rich or primary juice, whilst the second milling phase extraction is known as poor or secondary juice. This is due to the juice having passed through an imbibition process during the last phase, where water is added. (Imbibition is a special type of diffusion when water is absorbed by solids-colloids causing an enormous increase in volume). The mixture of primary and secondary juice is called mixed juice, and due to the presence of pulp generated during the grinding, is pumped to the strainer. The strained juice is then sent to the juice treatment area. In some sugar mills the juice is separated, where one part is sent to juice treatment for producing sugar and the other part is destined for alcohol production.

Although most sugar mills use the mills for extracting the juice from canes, diffusers are also used and offer a high yield ratio. At these diffusers, the cane

is placed on conveyor belts where the cane is lightly pressed at the inlet to subsequently separate the pulp juice from the cane by adding water through steam and imbibition. This process is known as leaching. Subsequent to the diffusion process, the water is removed from the pulp using rinsing rollers.

The analytics of sugar cane juiceAnalytics play a critical role in this preparation and extraction process. To ensure optimal efficiency the following measurements are monitored and controlled:• pH of the water used for washing

the sugar cane. Washing of the sugar cane is required for removing earth, sand, insects and other solid particles. The purpose of measuring the pH is to administer the chemical dosage required for achieving a greater efficiency in washing whilst conserving water.

• pH of the cane juice. It is necessary to know the pH of the cane at the time of its extraction as it provides an indication of the level of acidity. This allows for the optimisation of neutraliser dosing before the evaporator and thus improves clarification.

5Endress+Hauser magazine

• pH of the diffuser recirculation juice. The pH must be controlled for the purpose of reducing corrosion of the internal parts of the diffuser and decrease the inversion of sugars (sugar inversion is the breakdown by hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose). The desirable pH must be around 6. This is achieved by adding milk of lime during the first stages.

• Turbidity of the cane juice. Turbidity measurement gives an indication of the degree of solids in suspension of the solution. This allows for optimised control in the clarification of the media.

Endress+Hauser’s various solutions for these applications incorporate up-to-date technology to help streamline the process and provide accurate analytics.

South Africa has the largest prevalence of obesity in sub-Saharan Africa, and one of the highest in the world according to a Global Status Report on Noncommunicable Diseases (World Health Organisation, 2014).

In an effort to curb the epidemic the World Health Organisation (WHO) set out recommendations to introduce a system of taxation in 2015:• Set the tax to raise prices by at

least 20% in order to have a meaningful impact.

• Countries with strong tax administration, base their tax on sugar content.

• Incentivise consumers to substitute to lower-sugar alternatives.

• Encourage producers to reformulate their products.

• In countries where tax administration is not strong, implement simpler tax systems for example, a volume based SSB tax.

Sugar tax in SASouth Africa saw the introduction of The Sugar Tax Levy in April 2018 as the first of the Health Promotion Levies (HPL) in support of the local Department of Health’s deliverables to decrease the risk of noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, obesity and heart disease with obesity showing a 10% reduction by 2020.

Much like the recommendations of the WHO above, the purpose of the sugar tax was to address South Africa’s high levels of noncommunicable diseases, which ultimately place severe pressure on the country’s strained health system.Products manufactured in or imported into South Africa as noted in Section A

of Part 7 of Schedule No. 1 of Chapter VB of the Customs Act (SCH1), are subject to the levy. The sugar tax rate at 1 April 2018 was 2.1 c/g of the sugar content that exceeds 4g per 100ml. This implied that the first 4g of sugar per 100ml were essentially exempted from the levy. In 2019 the much-anticipated budget speech saw an increase in the rate to 2.21 c/g of the sugar content that exceeds 4g per 100ml, to avoid an erosion in the value of the tax due to inflation.

The sugar content of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) within the ambit of the levy on these beverages must be calculated as per below:• The sugar content as certified on a

test report, obtained and retained from a testing laboratory accredited with and using methodology recognised by the South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) or the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC); or

• In the absence of a test report, the sugar content of the sugary beverage will be deemed to constitute 20g per 100 millilitres.

This requirement has placed an administrative and cost burden on manufacturers who have noted instant interrogation from SARS, in the form of audits being conducted within the first few months of implementation of the Sugar Tax Levy.

The effects on the sugar industryWhilst South Africa’s unemployment rate continues to rise to alarming levels, so does the rate of noncommunicable diseases. These two rates now pose a conundrum for the South African Economy. The HPL’s

aim of reducing the consumption of SSB’s and improving citizens’ health in the country, could potentially lead to short-term job losses.

Health experts accuse the SSB manufacturers as well as the Sugar industry of exaggerating the impact on job losses whilst the South African Cane Growers Association proclaiming the HPL an industry crisis.

Where does the sweet spot in this conundrum lie?

8 Water & Wastewater

Countering the scarcity of water

In a country where water, as an economic enabler, is becoming scarcer and therefore more expensive, the idea of using water sparingly is high up on the Mining, Petro-chemical and Food & Beverage industries’ agendas. For global brands it is not just the scarcity of water that influences corporate decisions to use water more efficiently, but also the idea of protecting their brands, as well as stricter and better enforcement of regulations around responsible water use.

In the Food and Beverage industry, the following topics drive their strategy and public image:

• Water scarcity Water is a scarce commodity in many regions across the world, and especially in South Africa. It is a big challenge to operate a manufacturing plant under these high-risk conditions. The lack of adequate supply can have grave financial implications.

• Brand protection Top brands are now seen setting sustainability goals and reporting on previous achievements in order to differentiate themselves from other brands and to project a positive image in the market. While focusing on the image it is also important to ensure that the food safety and quality remains at no risk. A big trend in the South African municipalities, especially the larger metros, is the stricter implementation of the strong water and wastewater regulations and by-laws. Producers are required to plan for changes in water allocations as well as changes in the volumes and qualities of wastewater discharged into sewers or waterbodies.

Process is vitalThe path to water efficiency in a food or beverage plant starts with proper maintenance and usage monitoring. By having optimal process and water monitoring, especially during cleaning cycles and product change-over, the optimum water usage levels can be determined without compromising product safety.

Boilers and cooling towers can also be a source of inefficient water use if not maintained properly or operated optimally. Blowdowns of boilers are used to prevent the build-up of solids, which can cause inefficiency in boiler operations. Blowdowns can be operated manually or can be timed to release water at intervals. After each blowdown, make-up water is required, and this can increase water consumption dramatically. By using a conductivity measurement, blowdown can only be initiated once the conductivity level exceeds an acceptable level. Blowdown water can also be used in non-product applications as floor cleaning and other uses.

Implementing water reuseOne of the big drivers, in the European and Global brands, is to achieve a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) for effective water reuse . There are various streams of wastewater in the Food and Beverage plants. Some can be used as they are for other applications, but most requires some sort of treatment before reuse is possible. Irrespective of the water quality achieved during treatment, reuse water is mostly not used in applications that can be in contact with product. If the reuse water is of high quality, the opportunities exist to use it in boilers and cooling towers.

Condensate can be recovered from various processes like boiler condensate return or drying and evaporation processes. The boiler condensate return reduces the need for makeup water as well as the reduction of treatment chemicals.

Approximately 85% of the water evaporated during milk drying and evaporation processes can be recovered. This provides water

consumption savings as well as some heat recovery from warm condensate. The condensate recovered may still have some product carryovers and would typically need further treatment before it can be reused. This treatment involves using disinfectants, carbon filtration and ion-exchange. For the most efficient recovery of condensate, it needs to be integrated into the process during the design stage.

Membrane technology for water reuseA key technology in water reuse (in most industries) is membrane technology which includes Microfiltration (MF), Nanofiltration (NF), Ultrafiltration (UF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO).

Membrane filtration is one of the key technologies for water treatment. It is widely used in applications such as potable water production, water reuse, industrial process water treatment and - of course - desalination. Wastewater treatment plants also use membranes.

The basic idea is to force water and (dissolved substances which can cross the membrane pores) under pressure through the filter membrane, whereby the main flow is across the membrane (cross-flow filtration). The filtrate on the other side of the membrane is rinsed away and collected in the filtrate pipe. There are four main sub-segments, as mentioned above. MF can separate bacteria and viruses from water, but smaller particles and ions still pass through. RO plants using real ‘membranes’ can deionize the water because even ions are separated. Due to the decreasing pore size of MF, NF, UF and RO, the input pressure increases. RO needs pressure of up to 70 bar (in sea water applications). Independent of the final use of this technology, all membrane filtration units are accompanied by pre-treatment processes in order to guarantee high filtration time and efficiency. Whereas sand-filtration is often seen as a pre-treatment for MF, the same MF, NF and even UF, are common pre-treatment steps for water entering a RO plant.

As these membrane technologies become more affordable in the future, they will play a significant role in efficient water reuse, brand protection and bringing the Food and Beverage industry closer to Zero Liquid Discharge. This might be a requirement by future regulations.

Water reuse in practiceA typical water reuse plant will consist of some, or all, of the steps shown in the desalination plant diagram. The steps required are dependent on the quality of the wastewater supplied and of the quality of produced water required. All the required measurements for an effective membrane plant is available as a complete basket from Endress+Hauser. Heartbeat Technology guarantees permanent diagnostics across these instruments. Endress+Hauser as a trusted partner for water reuse, plant builders and operators also offers panel solutions and services for water quality measurement.

The schematic diagram shows a typical water desalination plant. After passing different pre-treatment steps (for example, pre-disinfection, mechanical pre-treatment, flocculation/precipitation, sand filtration) the almost particle-free but still salty water enters the first membrane filtration steps (for example, microfiltration and nanofiltration). Afterwards, the final inlet control is needed to guarantee the advanced water inlet quality demands of a RO plant. Modern desalination plants may use energy recovery technology. To reduce the specific energy demand of the RO plant due to the high inlet pressure of approximately 60 bar, the pressure of part of the inlet water can be boosted by the return of the pressurised concentrate to the inlet.

10 Primaries & Metals

All aggregates and bulk solids contain a proportion of water. In addition to the quality of the final product, moisture also determines the weight and the price. Legal requirements define the framework for this and as a result, determining the water content in the aggregates and bulk solids through material moisture measurement is vital. To aid this process, Endress+Hauser’s moisture measurement technology division, IMKO Micromodultechnik GmbH, presents a new generation of moisture probes in the form of its SONO probes. These were specifically developed for applications in the construction industry, as well as the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries, but can be used in other industries too.

Probing moisture measurement preciselyThe SONO probe as a “moisture tomograph”. The guided radar wave (in green- as shown on the product image) propagates at approximately the speed of light. The sensor measures the material layer by layer, discoidally and transverse to the sensor surface – as is familiar from a computer tomograph, for example. This method results in a sensor with an exactly defined measurement field, which can measure without errors even in the event of fluctuating fines or varying grain size. By measuring transverse to the sensor surface, the mechanical condition of the sensor surface does not represent a disturbance variable, i.e. the iterative wear of the sensor surface does not falsify the measured value. The defined measurement field also enables accurate measurement for applications in which the material coverage is too low or fluctuates. This results in a high degree of flexibility in terms of mechanical integration in the application.

Drying bulk solids in belt dryers When drying bulk solids with belt dryers, an air-permeable belt is filled with the product to be dried. The height of the bulk solids on the belt and the dwell time in the dryer are defined based on the product type and properties, and the water volume to be removed. By adjusting the dwell time to the mean value, it is possible to compensate for a varying moisture content. This is necessary in the production of bulk solids.

Drying of bulk solids in vertical dryersWhen grain is harvested, it usually contains excess water. If the grain is stored in a silo, this excess water would cause mould to form immediately, resulting in the total loss of the product. Therefore, all common grain types are dried before being stored in a silo, usually using a vertical dryer with product passing through it

once (continuous dryer). The input moisture is measured to determine the water quantity to be removed, and the dwell time or throughput rate is controlled based on the known dryer performance. This not only ensures that the product does not go mouldy later in the silo, but also that you are not wasting energy unnecessarily by over drying the product.
