Chelsea Sugar는 새로운 알파라발의 증발 시스템으로 탄소 배출을 줄입니다.
뉴질랜드의 설탕 회사인 Chelsea Sugar는 천연 사탕수수에서 추출한 제품을 생산하는 뉴질랜드의 선도적인 제조업체입니다. 지속가능성 및 탈탄소화 목표를 달성하기 위해 회사는 오클랜드 설탕 정제소의 오래된 열 증기 재압축 기술을 기계적 증기 재압축(MVR) 기능을 갖춘 최신 필름 증발기인 에너지 효율적인 알파라발 AlfaVap 시스템으로 업그레이드했습니다.
날짜 2024-06-10The result? A measurable increase in productivity, a 9% decrease in energy consumption and an 11% reduction in annual carbon emissions. Moreover, introducing Alfa Laval MVR technology makes it possible for Chelsea Sugar to incorporate renewable energy resources such as wind and solar energy into the plant’s energy mix, thereby cutting carbon emissions from sugar evaporation systems to near zero.

Graeme Smith, General Manager, Operations ANZ, New Zealand Sugar Company (Chelsea Sugar):
“Today, one of our biggest challenges is that we must develop an increasingly sustainable operation and business, and the environmental impact of our sugar production is an important part of this.”
“Our relationship with Alfa Laval goes back many years, and it is the strength of our interaction and the mutual confidence in our competences, which has now enabled Chelsea to take on the journey in making the business even more sustainable.”
Top priority: lower carbon emissions
Optimizing plant operations through smart upgrades can help you meet your sustainability goals. Upgrading thermal vapour recompression technology to an Alfa Laval AlfaVap climbing film evaporator with mechanical vapour technology helped Chelsea Sugar contributed to greater energy efficiency, higher productivity, better product quality with minimal colour formation, and a reduced carbon footprint. Other advantages include:
- Solid return on investment
- Highly efficient and consistent operation
- improved control accuracy
- Minimal maintenance requirements

How can we optimize your sugar refinery?
Want to increase productivity, realize energy savings, or enhance your sustainability credentials? Rely on Alfa Laval for expertise. We can help you optimize sugar refinery operations at every stage of production.
Selecting the right evaporation system depends on various factors, such as steam production costs and production volumes. Alfa Laval has a proven track record of delivering solid return on investment by engineering advanced evaporation systems using mechanical vapour recompression and thermal vapour recompression technologies. Mechanical vapour recompression systems generally are more energy efficient, have a smaller carbon footprint, and lower long-term operating costs compared to thermal vapour recompression technology. Contact us today to begin exploring new ways of enhancing operational efficiency at your sugar refinery.
Sustainable benefits
- By drastically cutting energy consumption in the refining processes, Chelsea Sugar reduces its plant’s carbon emissions by 11 percent which equals 2,767 tonnes of CO2 yearly.
- According to the UN, up to a third of the world’s carbon emissions can be attributed to food production.
