dc.description.abstract | Sugar is produced mostly from plant sources, sugarcane, and sugar beets. Sugar production involves several processes including extraction, purification, filtration, crystallization, centrifugation, and drying; however, evaporation is a critical step in the case of sugar manufacturing. By eliminating a large amount of water during the evaporation process, diluted sugar juice produces concentrated raw sugar syrup. However, due to the high latent heat of the water, the evaporation process consumes a significant amount of energy. Because evaporation is one of the most energy-intensive unit operations in the sugar industry, evaporation parameters such as feed temperature, steam temperature, boiling point temperature, heating surface area, and overall heat transfer coefficient should be considered as a whole and examined in detail. Besides that, the amount of steam that is required should be minimized to increase profitability in production; therefore evaporation usually takes place in a multiple-effect evaporator that generally relies on the steam. This chapter presents the significance of the evaporation process for the sugar industry. Also, the types of evaporators that are used in the industry are examined in detail. Also, a thermo-economic analysis of the evaporator system is performed by considering important evaporator design principles and evaporator types in the sugar plant. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
