STUDY ON SUGAR PROCESS MANUFACTURING PLANT PELWATTA SUGAR INDUSTRIES LIMITED

Abstract

Pelwatta Sugar Company Limited is a one of the major sugar producing company in Sri Lanka. The company contributes to 80% of the total sugar production of the country. This study involves in-depth investigation of each and every important points in the Processing plant at Pelwatta sugar Industries limited with a view to identify any weak points and to develop remedies to improve the quality and the yield of such steps. Since most of the steps involve heavy machinery with my poor knowledge in technology, I had to learn the basic engineering principles during my study period that consumed lot of time allocated for the real study. This thesis includes both the chemistry of the sugar production and the technology of the sugar production according to the knowledge gained from the study I carried out at the Pelwatta Sugar Industries Limited.Suggestions that might improve the yield and the quality of sugar were given in the conclusion.
