There is a continued effort by Sugar Engineers/Technologists in improving the sugar quality and reduction of sugar losses at various stages or process operations. Still we have been facing critical Entrainment problems at Evaporator and Pans. Random and wide varied Evaporation, foaming (whenever cold material taken especially in Pans) is causing enormous Entrainment resulting in sugar loss and contamination of cooling water which is detrimental to the life of pipelines, condensers and pumps. It also leads to heavy maintenance cost for neutralizing the cooling tower water. Other conditions like drawal of thin material, molasses, syrup, melt into pans and boiling for B or C footing purpose in cold, conditions will also result in heavy foaming and entrainment. The catch alls (save alls) designs were critically studied and alterations carried out. Entrainment of sugar material stopped since the modification of catch all was carried out.
