摘要

For a couple of decades, the crystallization of white sugar has evolved from a quasi-manual control to the current state of a fully automated system. In the mid eighties, the manually operated coil vacuum pans used for white sugar boiling were replaced by stainless steel calandria pans. At the same time, a new control system was installed and was based on the assumption that supersaturation for pure sucrose is a function of absolute pressure and temperature. An emperical equation was used to continually calculate the super-saturation of the liquor being concentrated prior to seeding. At the chosen supersaturation value, and assuming that the absolute pressure had been stable for a period of time, the pan was manually seeded. Following pan seeding, the crystallization was slowed down by increasing the absolute pressure to 9" Hg and decreasing the steam flow. The newly seeded liquor was held under these conditions for a period of time to allow for a gradual increase in crystal surface area without the formation of new crystals. Thereafter, the absolute pressure was progressively decreased while the steam flow was increased to reach a maximum- level at a final operating pressure of 4" Hg. absolute. The boiling of the strike then proceeded based on circulator load control. The system had many drawbacks, the most important ones being reduced capacity since the operation was significantly slowed down following pan seeding, poor response from the circulator load control and a control unit that was not user-friendly and did not allow for ready access to easily change the operating variables. For these reasons, a new control system based on measurement of solid concentration by microwave coupled with a PC-based controller that is user-friendly and permit easy access to changes in the boiling conditions was installed.
