The Australia sugar industry produces 1100 GWh of renewable electricity annually, abating ~1.1 M tonnes of CO2-equivalent of greenhouse gases. This can be increased if the juice evaporation performance, which largely determines the energy efficiency of the sugar factory, can be improved through reduced fouling of evaporators. This project will investigate the effect of juice composition on fouling of sugar factory evaporators so that a model to predict scale type and scale propensity can be developed. This will enable the development of better scale control strategies, resulting in reduced energy usage and reduced usage of the hazardous and polluting chemicals required to remove scale.

澳大利亚制糖业每年生产 1100 吉瓦时的可再生电力，减少约 110 万吨二氧化碳当量的温室气体。如果可以通过减少蒸发器的结垢来提高果汁蒸发性能（很大程度上决定了糖厂的能源效率），则可以提高这一点。该项目将研究果汁成分对糖厂蒸发器结垢的影响，以便开发预测结垢类型和结垢倾向的模型。 这将有助于制定更好的水垢控制策略，从而减少能源消耗以及去除水垢所需的危险和污染化学品的使用。
