Bosch Projects
do Brasil offers
consulting services
Bosch Projects do Brasil (BPB), which was established
in São Paulo state by Durban-based Bosch Projects in
September 2007, is now offering specialist consulting
services to Brazil’s sugar sector.
This new service follows
the success of BPB and
Dedini’s recent sale of nine
Chainless Diffusers in
Brazil.
Besides the continuation
of its technical support to
Dedini for sales, installation
and commissioning of
Chainless Diffusers and
related sugar equipment,
BPB will, with its own
resources, now offer
consulting services to the
Brazilian sugar cane
industry.
Sugar Equipment update
Bosch Projects has provided equipment designs to
international partners for a range of projects. In doing so,
they have strengthened their position as a leading player
in the international sugar technology arena.
The following Continuous Vacuum Pan (CVP) designs have recently
been implemented at various factories around the world:
•
•
•
Philippines – CADP: 120m3 CVP
Thailand – United Farmers and Eastern Sugars: 200m3 CVP
Thailand – Khon Kean: 280m3 CVP
A 280m3 CVP in Thailand
Specialist services on offer
include sugar consulting
(energy and mass balance,
feasibility studies, sugar
processing and operational improvements) and project
management - encompassing project organisation, as well as
implementation planning and control methodologies.
“BPB will adapt the valuable assets of engineering,
technology and experience from Bosch Projects in
South Africa to Brazilian conditions.”
The Brazilian sugar cane industry, the biggest in the world - has
450 mills that processed 600 million tons of sugar cane, to produce
32 million tons of sugar and 27 billion litres of ethanol, in the
2008/2009 season.
The Calandria of HC and S CVP
These pans are all of a ‘split’ configuration so that one half can be
operated independently of the other half whilst being supplied at
different steam pressures if required. Interestingly, these pans are
marginally smaller than the largest CVP’s in the world, which are
300m3. On the other end of the scale is a 33m3 stainless steel CVP
that was supplied through Honiron Corporation to the Hawaiian
Commercial and Sugar Company for producing white sugar.
Two C-Massecuite Vertical Crystallisers and a Reheater were also
supplied through Honiron to MA Patout’s Enterprise factory in
Louisiana. This reheater incorporated Bosch Projects’ R&D’s new
innovatively designed stainless steel finned water tubes
manufactured using a continuous resistance welding process.
Our rotary juice screens continue to perform well in the industry. In
addition to 16 Bosch Projects rotary screens manufactured by Dedini
for the Brazilian Sugar Industry, more screens have also been shipped
to Cameroon, Tanzania and Zambia.
Newly appointed MD Fábio Bellam with retiring MD Marcello Freire
BPB has appointed Ricardo de Souza Albino as Process Engineer
and João Gullo Junior as Mechanical
Engineer. The team is headed up by
Fábio Bellam, who was recently
do BRASIL Ltda
appointed as BPB’s Managing Director.
New orders received recently include the supply of a CVP, a Long
Tube evaporator and a Roberts evaporator to Maragra SARL in
Mozambique. Commissioning of these units is planned for the start
of the 2010 milling season.
A new whole-stick shredder, in three different capacities, has recently
been developed by the Sugar Equipment design team and is being
marketed on a global basis. Watch this space for more revolutionary
innovative, equipment designs coming soon!
