Abstract

This paper presents the control principle employed in achieving the objectives of supersaturation control of the crystallization process at Worthy Park Estate, highlighting factors that impede optimal sucrose recovery. A proposed solution that utilizes two (2) classes of the Supersaturation Parameter for optimizing the control mechanism during periods of extreme process dynamics is also presented. The results of pan boiling following a simulation are analyzed statistically to highlight the hypothetical gains and benefits, and suitability of the proposed solution.
