Processing of sugar crops
Intermediate products or by-products of the sugar industry are an important source of raw material for the fermentation of bioproducts. (Vogelbusch proprietary processes in orange)

Clean molasses and sugar syrups can be fed straight to the fermentation unit. Pretreatment is required only for raw molasses containing sludge or certain quantities of inhibiting substances which would affect the fermentation.
Raw molasses is a by-product of refining sugarcane or sugar beets. It contains a remaining quantity of sugar that could not be crystallized into white or raw sugar as well as water, ashes and other organic compounds. For optimum yields in the fermentation process, microbial contamination and inhibitory substances contained in raw molasses have to be detected and removed.
Raw molasses is mixed with water and sulphuric acid and clarified by sedimentation or by separators. If pasteurization is required, the clarified molasses can be fed to a sterilisation coil where it is heated with live steam at a specific temperature and afterwards cooled down.
Following a feasibility study on the production of baker's yeast, the pre-engineering for a yeast plant designed for a daily capacity of 10,000 kg based on molasses was carried out in 2015.
Razi Yeast & Alcohol Company, formerly Sugar Cane By-Products Corporation, assigned Vogelbusch with the process design, engineering and supply of a complete plant for the production of baker's yeast from cane molasses.
Production in the yeast plant started in 2009, since manufacturing 32,000 kg per day of high quality instant active dry…
SGP Cegro on behalf of AYS Algerian Yeast Society in 2014 ordered a feasibility study to investigate the production of 10,000 tons per year of baker's yeast to be made from imported molasses.
The plant now operated by Razi (formerly Sugar Cane By-Products Corporation) was designed for a daily capacity of 110,000 liters of high quality pharmaceutical alcohol from cane molasses complying with EU standards. A special challenge was designing the plant for the extreme climatic conditions (0°C to 50°C) and the highest…
The plant of Kimia Gharb Gostar Industries Co. has a capacity of 36 tons per day and is the first citric acid plant set up in Iran. It is suitable for processing of raw sugar and sugar beet molasses. The process concept allows for a choice between production of either…
Precipitate reactions occur when different ions in aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble solid. This process can be induced by application of reagents that precipitate specific ions or by neutralizing target components. The precipitate drops to the bottom of the liquid for easy removal or is separated from the liquid by additional equipment like filters or centrifuges.
Vogelbusch has comprehensive experience in designing precipitation units. The targets are the removal of undesired substances from liquids as well as for product isolation. Applications include raw material preparation for fermentation by removing inhibitors, the fining of raw vinegar to bind and remove dissolved substances and the isolation of citric acid from the fermented mash.

Raw sugar from local production was the substrate of choice for Citro Misr Co. of Egypt. This raw material required a new approach in the fermentation process to assure the economic feasibility of the plant. The spore cultivation was adapted and the fructose utilization was optimized for the substrate.
Products include…
