Introduction of Sugar Industry in Pakistan
Sugar is the important sector of the Pakistan’s economy. Sugar industry plays a vital role for
development of any country’s economy. In Pakistan this industry play significant role for
economic development.
Its share in the large scale industry is 18% and in GDP is 1.9%.sugar industry
Contribution to the government exchequer in Federal excise duty is 11.2%.
1.1 History:
The sugar industry, which is endowed with a strong base of sugarcane, had started its journey from almost
non-existence in 1947. The industry has gone through a long way and now possesses 77 sugar mills in all
over the country. The Sugar industry not only fulfills the entire local requirement but also sharing out the total
1
foreign exchange earnings. At present Pakistan’s sugar industry is facing lot of problems like lesser demand
of sugar in the country due to recession in the economy, declining prices into the domestic as well as
international markets & huge unsold stock of sugar. Government role in R & D for developing the sugarcane
varieties is not very significance; only few private institutions are doing some research in R & D in
developing various varieties with higher yield. Pakistan sugar industries still have 34% un-utilized capacity.
Which can be utilized by further developing the 13224 hectares area along the main feeder canal
from Indus River in Sindh? By which we can increase our export to 50000 ton. (This export to
Arab World can be exchange of half million barrels of crude oil for Pakistan. In Pakistan present
sugar cane varieties are not yielding reasonable production and led to the prevailing sugar crisis.

Mills House
Mill is a machine which is used to extract the juice from shredded cane. It consists of two major
parts:
2.1 Pressure Feeder
Pressure feeder consists of three rolls stacked together to form a shape of triangle and its lower
roller is driven through steam turbine. Objective of pressure feeder is to feed the shredded cane
at high pressure to the mill inlet in order to facilitate the cane milling operation for proper juice
extraction and in order to avoid shredded cane back coming effect.
2.2 Mill
Mill itself also consists of three rolls for juice extraction. The rolls of a mill are stacked together
to form a triangle shape and its upper roller is driven through steam turbine. Objective ofa mill is
to extract the juice from shredded cane.
In reality pressure feeder and mill both are integrated to each other in order to form a six roll
stack for easier cane handling. There are five mills are used in series, each mill have a pressure
feeder associated with it. About 80% juice is extracted in mill-1. Feed to each pressure feeder is
introduced by inclined cane carrier. So every mill`s pressure feeder has an inclined cane
carrier associated with it and it precedes to mill.
2.3 Feeding Table:
There are four (4) Feed tables in the industry. The purpose of feed table is to transfer the sugar
cane on the cane carrier. Conveyer belts and impellers are mounted on the feed table.
They help in transportation of cane from feed point to cane carrier.
2.5 Leveler:
As the name implies it function is to level the cane in carrier and to provide evenly feedto
cutters.
Figure 4 Leveler
2.6 Cutter:
Cutters are driven by backpressure Impulse Turbine 650 Kw. Bush coupling is uses to join the
driver shaft to the driven shaft. It cuts the cane into small Pieces.

2.9Magnetic Separator:
Magnetic separator is used to remove e the iron particles which become the part of cutter cane of
other iron particles which are already present. The commonest one object is pieces of knife
blades, sling hooks, broken pieces of sling.
2.10 Nuts and bolts:
If iron pieces are not removes then they jam the mills and pressure feeder, end so it is required to
remove them before cane feeding to mills is very expanses due to the mills rollers.
2.11 Milling Tandom:
There are two milling tandem in Darya Khan Sugar Mills.

2.15 Block Flow Diagram:
The feed handling and juice extraction steps are shown in the diagram below

2.16 Trash Plate:
Trash plate is a plate with teethes on both sides and it is used among mill rollers. It fulfills
two basic functions:
1- It provides a tight fitting between rollers which improves the crushing and so juice
Recovery is improved.
2- Its teeth clarify the space between roller disks to some extant which prevent mill choking.
Even when Bagass is subjected to high and repeated pressures, it never gives up all the juice
which it contains. It approaches to minimum moisture in the most favorable cases: that is, it
retains a high proportion of juice, amounting roughly to half its weight.
In order to extract as much as possible of the sugar which it retains, it is therefore necessary to
move to some mechanism of more juice removal known as imbibitions.
2.19 Bagasse Elevator:
Bagasse elevator is a type of inclined carrier which transports the Bagass from last mill outlet
to all boilers inlet as well as towards the additional Bagass storage point.

2.24 Gears
From turbine specification table it is clear that each turbine operates at very high rpm and
The requirement for milling is 5 rpm so turbine rpm should have to be reduced in order to meet
the requirements of mills. For this purpose large size reduction gears are used. In order to reduce
so high rpm to very low rpm very large size single gear is required.

3.1 Turbines (Expanders)
Turbine is a device which converts internal energy of the fluid to mechanical work.
There are two fundamental types of turbine:
1- Hydraulic Turbine (Turbine driven by incompressible fluid)
a) Water Turbine (Turbine driven by water)
2- Pneumatic Turbine (Turbine driven by compressible fluid)
a) Steam Turbine (Turbine driven by superheated steam)
b) Gas Turbine (Turbine driven by any other dry gas)
In industrial power house steam turbine is used, so major focus of attention will be steam
turbine.
3.2 Steam Turbine:
Steam turbine is a device which converts pressure energy of the superheated steam into useful
work.
Note: It is only a prime mover like as an electric motor.
13
internal energy into kinetic energy, which in turn is converted into shaft work when the stream
impinges on blades attached to a rotating shaft. Thus a turbine (or expander) consists of alternate
sets of nozzles and rotating blades through which vapor or gas flows in a steady state expansion
process. The overall result is the conversion of internal energy of a high pressure stream into shaft
work. When steam provides the motive force as in a power plant the device is called a turbine;
when it is a high pressure gas, such as ammonia or ethylene in a chemical or petrochemical plant,
the device is called an expander Turbine consists of a casing in which a turbine router is fitted in
such a way that it can rotate about its axis of rotation. Turbine router has blades on its surface.
Superheated steam is introduced from the inlet pipe line at high pressure and temperature which
strikes the router blades and imparts its pressure energy to it. This pressure energy rotates the
turbine router which generated shaft work. The shaft work produced by the turbine router is then
used to rotate shaft of any equipment. Turbine’s other rotational parts have oil assembly which
decreases friction in order to improve the efficiency. The oil by circulating continuously inside
the equipment got heated during operation. So, an oil cooling mechanism is required. With the
turbine a shell & tube heat exchanger is used as cooler, for cooling the hot oil; with water as
coolant in the shell side.

3.5 Defects of Steam Turbine
In the steam turbine defects arise when saturated steam is used instead of superheated steam. As
from the knowledge it is clear that saturated steam have water droplets in it. When saturated
steam is used in the turbine, its water droplets causes pitting to turbine blades. This pitting
phenomenon is the process, in which very small liquid particles at high pressure and temperature
strikes to a surface, causes its momentum transfer to it in such a way that; this momentum transfer
is only to certain points of the blades, instead of even momentum transfer to turbine blades, so the
turbine blades got damage from improper momentum distribution on blades. In order to save
blades and other turbine inside parts from this type of mechanical damages, it is strongly
recommended that superheated steam is used instead of saturated steam. Calculation of Shaft Work
Produced by Turbine
3.6 Generator:
In electricity generation, an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to
electrical energy. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by a
motor; motors and generators have many similarities. A generator forces electrons in the
windings to flow through the external electrical circuit. It is somewhat analogous to a water pump,
which creates a flow of water but does not create the water inside. The source of mechanical energy
may be a reciprocating or turbine steam engine, water falling through a turbine or waterwheel, an
internal combustion engine, a wind turbine, a hand crank, compressed air or any other source of
mechanical energy.
Like motor, a generator also has stator and rotor. Rotor winding is field winding because main
15
magnetic field is produced in Rotor and stator winding is armature because main emf is induced
in stator.
3.7 Working Principle:
Generator works on the principle of Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic induction. According to
law, Supply is given to rotor which produces rotary magnetic field. This field induces e.m.f in
stator winding.
3.8 Synchronous Generator Construction:
A DC current is applied to the rotor winding, which then produces a rotor magnetic field. The
rotor is then turned by a prime mover (e.g. Steam, water etc.) producing a rotating magnetic
field. This rotating magnetic field induces a 3-phase set of voltages within the stator windings of
the generator. “Field windings” applies to the windings that produce the main magnetic field in a
machine, and “armature windings” applies to the windings where the main voltage is induced.
For synchronous machines, the field windings are on the rotor, so the terms “rotor windings” and
“field windings” are used interchangeably. Generally a synchronous generator must have at least
2 components: a) Rotor Windings or Field Windings a. Salient Pole b. Non Salient Pole b) Stator
Windings or Armature Windings. The rotor of a synchronous generator is a large electromagnet
and the magnetic poles on the rotor can either be salient or non salient construction. Non-salient
pole rotors are normally used for rotors with 2 or 4 poles rotor, while salient pole rotors are used
for 4 or more poles rotor.
3.9 Excitation:
An electric generator or electric motor that uses field coils rather than permanent magnets will
require a current flow to be present in the field coils for the device to be able to work. If the field
coils are not powered, the rotor in a generator can spin without producing any usable electrical
energy, while the rotor of a motor may not spin at all. Thus a DC supply is given to rotor to produce
magnetic field. This method is called excitation.
There are three methods of excitation
Through slip Ring and brushes
Through Brushless Exciter
Through Pilot Exciter.
3.9.1 Through slip Ring and brushes:
In this method excitation is done by giving DC supply to rotor through brushes. In rotor, a slip
16
ring is mounted. DC supply is given to that slip ring through brushes.
Slip rings are metal rings completely encircling the shaft of a machine but insulated from it. One
end of the dc rotor winding is tied to each of the 2 slip rings on the shaft of the synchronous
machine, and a stationary brush rides on each slip ring.
A “brush” is a block of graphite like carbon compound that conducts electricity freely but has
very low friction; hence it doesn’t wear down the slip ring. If the positive end of a dc voltage
source is connected to one brush and the negative end is connected to the other, then the same dc
voltage will be applied to the field winding at all times regardless of the angular position or speed
of the rotor.
Small synchronous machines
3.9.1 Through Brushless Exciter:
A brushless exciter is a small ac generator with its field circuit mounted on the stator and its
armature circuit mounted on the rotor shaft. The 3-phase output of the exciter generator is
rectified to direct current by a 3-phase rectifier circuit also mounted on the shaft of the generator,
and is then fed to the main dc field circuit. By controlling the small dc field current of the exciter
generator (located on the stator), we can adjust the field current on the main machine without slip
rings and brushes. Since no mechanical contacts occur between the rotor and stator, a brushless
exciter requires less maintenance.
3.10 The Speed of Rotation of a Synchronous Generator:
Synchronous generators are by definition synchronous, meaning that the electrical frequency
produced is locked in or synchronized with the mechanical rate of rotation of the generator. A
synchronous generator’s rotor consists of an electromagnet to which direct current issupplied.
The rotor’s magnetic field points in the direction the rotor are turned. Hence, the rate
of rotation of the magnetic field in the machine is related to the stator electrical frequency by:
3.11 Protection of Synchronous Generator from Faults:
The generating units, especially the larger ones, are relatively few in number and higher in
individual cost than most other equipments. Therefore, it is desirable and necessary to provide
protection to cover the wide range of faults which may occur in the modern generating plant.
Some of the important faults which may occur on an alternator are.
Failure of prime-mover
Failure of field
17
Over current
Over speed
Overvoltage
Unbalanced loading
Stator winding faults
3.12 Generators Used in LSM:
In LSM, Turbo generators are being used. Turbo generators are those generators in which
steam turbine is used as a prime mover. There are four high tension and one low tension
generators. There is also one low tension diesel generator available which is used at time of
Needed. There is also a biogas plant whose installed capacity is 9.248 MW. In ETP eight biogas

Boiler House
The boiler is the main part of any thermal power plant. It converts the fuel energy into steam
energy. The fuel may be furnace oil, diesel oil, natural gas or coal. The boiler may be fire from
the multiple fuels. The types of boiler use in the T.P.S phase#2 is "water tube type"
4.1 Types of boiler:
1. Fire tube or smoke tube boiler
2. Water tube boiler
4.1.1 Water Tube Boilers:
In water tube boilers, boiler water passes through the tubes while the exhaust gasses remain in the
shell side, passing over the tube surface, since tubes can typically withstand higher internal
pressure then the large chamber shell in a fire tube, water tube boilers are used where high steam
pressure (as high as 3,000Psi) are required.
21
Water tube boilers are also capable of high efficiencies and can generate saturated or
superheated steam. The ability of water tube boilers to generate superheated steam makes these
boilers particularly attractive in applications that require dry, high-pressure, high-energy steam,
including steam turbine power generation
In fire tube steam boilers, the flames and hot gases, produced by the combustion of fuel pass
through the tubes which are surrounded by water. Fire tube boilers are generally used for
relatively small steam capacities and low to medium steam pressure. As a guideline fire tube
boilers are completive for steam rates up to 12000kg/h and pressures up to 18 kg/cm².Fire tube
boilers are available for operation with oil, gas or solid fuel.

4.4.6 Mountings:
There are the fittings which are mounted on the boiler for its proper
24
f. Feed check valve
g. Fusible plug
h. Blow down valve
(a) Water indicator: It is an important fitting which indicate the water level inside the boiler to
an observer.
(b) Pressure gauge: A pressure gauge is used to measure the pressure of the steam boiler. It is
fixed in front of the steam boiler.
(c) Safety valves: There are the devices attached to the steam chest for preventing explosions
due to excessive internal pressure of steam. There are four types of safety valves.
25
c. Economizer
d. Air pre heater
(a) Feed pump: A feed pump needed to deliver water to the boiler. The pressure of feed wateris
20% more than that in the boiler. The feed pump may be classified as simplex, duplex, triplex
pumps according to the number of pump of cylinder.
(b) Super heater: A super heater is an important device of a steam generating unit. Its purposeis
to increase the temperature of saturated steam without raising its pressure. It is generally an
integral part of a boiler and is placed in the path of hot flue gases from the fluency. The heat
given up by these flue gases is used in super heating the steam.
4.10 Super heater specifications:
(c) Economizer: An Economizer preheated is used to recover heat from the exhaust flue gases. It
is installed between the economizer and chimney. The air required for the purpose of combustion
is drawn through the air preheated where its temperature is raised. There is an increase of about
2% in the boiler efficiency for each 35-40% raise in temperature of air.
4.11 Economizer specifications:

tubes to steam the water. The required steam pass through the pipe and the unexpected steam pass
through the chimney. There one pipe line is connected output to the reservoir tank. In reservoir
tank water is preheated and there is a preheated and there is a softener tank, which contain
normal water, filler water. This tank is used to reduce the hardness of water. The preheated water
passes through the feed pump and to boiler. Here some chemicals are mixed
With the water. In the furnace oil is used as fuel than there is a connecting pipe from oil tank to
servomotor. If the economizer is used then the water is not preheated in the reservoir.
4.13 Cooling Towers:
Cooling towers are heat removal devices used to transform process waste heat to the
atmosphere. Cooling tower may either use the evaporation of water to remove process heat and
cool the working fluid to near the wet-bulb air temperature or relay solely on air to cool the working
fluid to dry –bulb air temperature. Common application includes cooling the circulating water used
in oil refiner, chemical plants and power station

5.2 Juice Flow:
28
The cane juice from the juice tank of milling house come to process house where it is
further purified and crystalline sugar is obtained from it. First of all cane juice in process house
flowing from flow meters comes into the heater, which heaters the juice. There are nine (9) heaters
in number. They are classified as:-
1. Primary Heaters
2. Secondary Heaters
Among nine heaters four are primary heaters and five are secondary heaters.
5.3 Primary Heaters:
First of all juice comes into the primary heaters where the temperature is maintained at
65-70 oC.
There are shell and tube vertical heaters having tubes of specifications given below
No. of tubes 576
No. of passes 8
Inner Dia 32mm
Outer Dia 35mm
Length 4100mm
Juice inlet temperature 42 oC
Juice outlet temperature 65 oC
Heating Surface 250 m2
Heating media is vapourIst&2nd of temperature 110oC & 100oC respectively. After
passing through the primary heater the juice is then sent to Lime mixing tank.
5.4 Secondary Heaters:
These heaters are same in structure as primary heaters and also serve the same purpose.
But the temperature of Juice is raised to 106 oC.
No. of tubes 688
No. of passes 8
Juice inlet temperature 60-65 oC
Juice outlet temperature 102-105oC
Heating Surface 300 m2
After Secondary Heaters, juice is sent for Clarification. Before entering Clarifier Tank, juice
is passed through Flash Tank.
29
5.5 Lime Mixing Tank:
In this tank, Slaked Lime Ca (OH) 2 is added to the heated cane juice. This slaked
is formed by the following reaction and then brought to the lime mixing tank. The reaction
is
CaO + H2O. Ca (OH) 2
The purpose of Lime Dozer is to maintain a PH of 7.5 Lime mixing tank is used to:-
1. Remove the impurities
2. Remove the trapped air
Now this juice, mixed with Lime, obtained from Lime mixing tank is passed through
Defecation Retention Tank there is 12-15 min retention time. Then the defecated juice is pumped
to Secondary Heaters with the help of centrifugal pumps.
It helps in removing vapors and to avoid bubbling of heated juice in clarifier. When juice
is passed into the Clarifier from the Flash Tank, an Polyelectrolyte is mixed with the juice. As a
result of which the particles of heavy weight settles down in Clarifier and clear juice comes
separates.

5.7 Coagulant Solution:
The coagulant used is a high molecular weight, branched-long chain polyelectrolyte.
Water is mixed with it to make a saturated solution.
5.8 Juice Clarifiers:
There are two types of clarifiers:-
1. Dorr Clarifier

5.11 Pre Heater:
Clear juice is pre heated before feed to the Evaporator.
Juice inlet Temperature 90-96 oC
Outlet temperature 100-110 oC
No of Tubes 564
Heating Surface 300 m2
5.12 Evaporators:
Evaporator is equipment that is used to concentrate the solution by evaporating thesolvent
(water).
There are two types of evaporators are used in the industry. Which are following?
1- Falling Film Evaporator (FFE)
2- Multiple Effect Evaporators (MEE)
This is the system where the water is evaporated and the juice is concentrated at the same time.
First of all the juice comes into an Evaporator which is called as Vapor Cell. Exhaust steam from
mill house is used to start the working of Vapor Cell. Vapors are condensed after passing the last
evaporator. There are sets of 5 evaporators after the Vapor Cell through which the juice passes.
This method of boiling is called Quadruple Effect or Quintuple Effect. All of the evaporating
cells contains a large number of tubes arranged longitudinally having a vacuum of
60-65 cm of Hg. The juice enters from the bottom of the evaporator and comes with the help of
these tubes. After heating it bubbles and comes back down through down take. And then it enters
into the next evaporator. In this way it passes through five of the evaporators by the same
procedure.
Inner Dia of tubes 39 mm
Outer Dia of tubes 42 mm
Vacuum is created in the last Evaporator of 23-25 inch hg.
Temperature of 1stvapours 110 oC
Temperature at 2ndVapours 100 oC
Temperature at 3rdVapours 90 oC
Temperature at 4thVapours 75-80 oC
32
Temperature at 5thVapours 60-65 oC
From Quad juice is sent into Syrup bottle and then to Syrup storage tank where syrup is
stored. From syrup storage tank it is send to Raw Pan-A.
1. B-Seed
2. B-Heavy
B-Heavy purity: 47-48%
B-Heavy bricks: 92-94
34
now send to Aeration Bottle, init air is injected to melt by force then we add talofloc in it.
5.18 Talo Clarifier:
Before entering in it we add Talo float in it. Talo float is light molecular weight; it sticks
impurities with itself and floats at the top. This floated material is removed from top and is called
Scum. Scum is send to Surplus tank. The clear liquor is removed from bottom of flotation clarifier.
The liquor is passed through a circular coil. From there it goes into pressure filters.
5.19 Pressure Filter:
It is a large tank that contains longitudinal plates. These plates are covered with a heavy canvass
clothes. Then liquor is passed through it under high pressure of about 1 kg/cm2It enters from one
side and exit from other side. Small particles which act as impurity are removed in it.
5.20 Polish Liquor Tank:
The filtered clear liquor is send for final polishing and melting in Polish melt tank and it is send to
Pan Station.
5.21 Refine Crystallization:
This process of crystallization is same as Raw Crystallization process. The decolorized liquors
stream directed to crystallization and finishing processes is white to pale yellow in color with
solid contents of 60 to 65 degree bricks.
The decolorized liquor is sent to vacuum pans for production of refined sugar. In refined sugar
production usually the boiling system used is three to four strike systems. When the liquor in the
pans reaches the desired level of super saturation seed is added to initiate the formation of sugar
crystals.
Crystallization is further preceded to form Massecuite with high crystal contents. At this point
the strike is discharged in crystallizers from where it is sent for centrifuging.
The white sugar is retained in inner basket and mother liquor passes through the basket
perforation and again sent to vacuum pans for future exhaustion of sugar retained in it. The white
sugar retained in centrifugal is washed with hot water and steam. There is such machine used for
the purpose of centrifugation.
1. New called as Silver Seibel:
The separated sugar and other impurities are called as RUNOFF. This is sent back to
Massecuite (A). sugar is added according to the color changing by refinery.
35
There are R1, R2 & R3 refine sugar. We also made powder sugar & caster sugar. During
this process of grading purity is not affected. It remains same while its color changes only. These
crystals are termed as “Refined Sugar Crystals”
All this process is done in Bag House. After the packing in sugar bags, sugar is stored inGo-
downs.

Conclusion
In DKSML, this internship has been an excellent and rewarding experience. I can
conclude that there have been a lot I’ve learnt from my work at DKSML. Needless to
say, the technical aspects of the work I’ve done are not flawless and could be
improved provided enough time. Whatsoever I believe my time spent in research and
discovering it was well worth it and contributed to finding an acceptable solution to
build a fully functional web service. Two main things that I’ve learned the
importance of time-management skills and self-motivation.
