Abstract
British Sugar became the first company within the European sugar industry to install a plate evaporator as a totally independent evaporation stage when they installed a new fifth stage evaporator at their York factory. In addition to the new stand-alone fifth stage evaporator British Sugar installed further plate heat exchangers to boost the fourth stage evaporators. Due to the high thermal efficiencies of the plate evaporators, the temperature of the vapours from the fourth and fifth stages or effects was increased making them more suitable for use for other process heating requirements. The modifications achieved an average saving of 214 tonnes/day turbine exhaust steam (10.5%). This is equivalent to an energy saving of 65,819 GJ over the annual 124 day production campaign and is worth approximately Pound 150,500/year (assuming steam generation using a conventional gas-fired boiler).
