Cti Process (patent pending)
|
| The Cti process, a patent pending technology, consists of two special resin
systems in series for production of the following three grades of sugar products
depending on the feed materials to the process, and valued added
antioxidants: (a) white sugar (80/150 ICUMSA color) via decolorization of sugar mill cane juice and recovery of value added sugarcane extracts (Antioxidant etc.,)via regeneration of resin. The process can be used in conjunction with the SAT process (UF membrane systems) to produce refined sugar, (b) Refined sugar via decolorization of VLC raw sugar or sulfitated plantation white sugar from a maximum color of 750 to 150/200 ICUMSA. The decolorized sugar liquor is then crystallized to give a refined sugar with color of 20 to 35 ICUMSA. Value added sugarcane extracts can also be recovered via regeneration of resin. (c) Refined sugar liquor via further decolorization of above 150/200 color sugar liquor by resin to 50/100 color which then can be decolorized by powdered activated carbon to 20/30 color sugar liquor for the beverages industry. Valued added sugarcane extracts can also be recovered via regeneration of resin The Cti Process can be adapted to fit many other applications for decolorization and recovery of antioxidants. One of the major advantages of the Cti process is that it is environmentally friendly. There is no dark brine waste stream to be disposed of as in the case of conventional ion exchange resin decolorization systems.
