Food, Sugar, & Starch

Eurodia / Ameridia has
found many applications for its process know-how in the
food, sugar and starch industries by offering various
techniques to meet the separation goals of its
customers. These include electrodialysis with and
without current reversal, ion exclusion chromatography,
microfiltration, nanofiltration, and ion exchange
resins. Again, our goal is to offer the optimum
processes (technically and economically) to our
customers by combining these various techniques.

Our expertise in electrodialysis is based on more
than 60 plants in operation worldwide in these
industries. For a more detailed description of the
electrodialysis, please go to the
Technologies Section / Electrodialysis of this
website.
Thanks to recent improvements in both the structure
of anion-exchange membranes and in the design of
stacks, electrodialysis can be considered as one of
the technologies that can help improve the cost
effectiveness of sugar mills by: (i) controlling
organic fouling, (ii) operating at high temperature
(up to 60°C), (iii) reducing waste effluents and
pollution load, (iv) improving sugar yields, (v)
reducing the volume of molasses, (vi) and saving
capital costs.
Operating results of a commercial plant in Europe
commissioned in 1998 are presented below, along with
a detailed material balance.
Ion Exclusion Chromatography:
We have
supplied fifteen plants in Europe, China, and North
America based on the Improved Simulated Moving Bed (ISMB®)
technology licensed by the Nippon Rensui subsidiary
of Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation. The first system
has been commissioned in 1998 to separate sugar. The
others are used for polyols purification and
enrichment. Others systems have been added for the
production of specialty sugars, the separation of
polyols, and many related applications. For more
details about the process and some data about the
performance of our first plant, please go to the
Technologies Section / Ion Exclusion Chromatography
Section of this website.
