The production process for glucose and fructose is both complex and highly integrated. With multiple products, varying flows and many recycle streams in the mix, predicting how changes in parameters like sugar levels, pH or dry solids will affect the outcome can prove challenging.
To help navigate the challenges, SWEETSPOT™, a custom modelling tool, predicts how process changes will impact flow rates and energy use—helping you meet demand and ambitious sustainability goals.
Our proprietary SWEETSPOT™ model leverages expertise across multiple plants to help you achieve meaningful, measurable operational and performance improvements for greater efficiency across your entire fleet.
With this model, we can identify specific areas to optimize processes, reduce waste, and seamlessly implement innovative technologies in pursuit of your sustainability goals.
In this illustrative example, a fictive plant operating at 100m3/h liquefaction and producing glucose (95+% syrup, crystalline) and fructose (F42, primarily F55, F90) used SWEETSPOT™ to evaluate the impact of increasing dry solids (DS) from 35 to 36% while maintaining 95.5% DP1.
SWEETSPOT™ determined while chemical, energy, enzyme, and raw material costs were increased, higher throughput more than offset the cost by increasing revenue.
SWEETSPOT™ demonstrated that there would be a significant savings in energy costs, but no difference in product yields.
Unlock greater savings and better yields with the SWEETSPOT™ syrup production model, complemented by our comprehensive expertise and technical support for your unique operational and business needs.
