SUGAR PYRO JIM1000 Fixed bed GAC plant for Asia's largest refinery
Jord designed the refinery using both granular activated carbon (‘GAC’) and multiple hearth furnace (‘MHF’) technologies for sugar decolourisation. Drawing on our 50-year history of service to the sugar industry, a 3000 tonne per day sugar decolourising plant was designed and constructed. The plant included a seven column fixed-bed GAC system, with the associated MHF for carbon reactivation. Jord partnered with local fabricators under our strict quality assurance and control procedures, taking full advantage of transportation efficiencies and local production capability.
3D modelling and smart P&ID’s enabled efficient client reviews. This decreased the engineering timeframe and increased fabrication accuracy. The plant demonstrated excellent colour removal ability combined with reliable performance, enabling the refinery to produce on-spec refined crystal sugar. The plant was successfully commissioned in 2018 and fully integrated into the overall refinery, cementing a strong working relationship with MSM that is delivering ongoing support and plant optimisation.

SUGAR PYRO C7288 Kaset Phol Sugar Refinery
As Kaset Phol needed additional sugar refinery capacity in the region, it could build a back-end refinery off its existing mill, and seamlessly integrate the two operations. However, to operate in the humid and remote location, the plant needed to be extremely robust and easy to operate.
Jord designed a fixed-bed granular activated carbon (GAC) plant able to process around 1000 tonnes of sugar per day, and selected activated carbon for the sugar decolourisation to provide Kaset Phol with many years of robust service, a well-proven and effective technology.
Collaborating with Kaset Phol, Mitsui, GXYA, China as EPC contractor and BMA, Germany as Owners Engineer, close liaison between the parties was essential to ensure the project was commissioned as efficiently as possible. Careful project management, planning and execution resulted in all process packages being delivered to site, ready for installation, on or before schedule. Jord supervised the installation and commissioning of the GAC and multiple hearth furnace (MHF) plant packages. Quality control and inspection throughout the delivery cycle maintained the high standards demanded.
