Bactosafe I & II

Advanced Mill Sanitizers for Effective Microbial Control in Sugar Processing

Microbial contamination is a major challenge in sugar manufacturing, contributing to sucrose losses, purity reduction, process inefficiencies, and increased processing expenses. These challenges can become more significant with variations in cane quality and processing conditions.

Effective microbial control is therefore important for minimizing purity drops, reducing contamination-related losses, and maintaining stable process performance across sugar manufacturing operations.

Bactosafe I & II are advanced mill sanitizers developed to control undesirable microbial growth in sugar processing systems. Their application helps reduce microbial contamination and associated sugar losses while supporting process stability, product quality, and overall plant performance. Bactosafe II is formulated using new generation sanitizing ingredients and is free from DTC and QAC-based chemistries.

    • Effective control of microbial contamination in sugar processing
    • Helps reduce sucrose losses caused by undesirable microbial activity
    • Minimizes purity drop across process streams
    • Works effectively at low dosage levels
    • Supports stable performance under varying cane quality and process conditions
    • Helps maintain juice and product quality
    • Improves process smoothness and operational flexibility

Bactosafe I & II are recommended for sanitization and microbial control in sugar manufacturing operations.

(Their application and dosage can be optimized according to plant operating conditions, including crushing rate, cut-to-crush delay, contaminant load, retention time, and contamination generation points.)

FAQ's

Why isn't routine cleaning enough to control mill contamination?

New microbial contamination continuously enters the process with incoming cane. BACTOSAFE-I provides ongoing microbial control during operation rather than relying solely on periodic cleaning.

Can BACTOSAFE-I be optimized for different mills?

Yes. Dosage and dosing locations can be fine-tuned according to individual plant conditions to maximize sanitization performance.

When should a mill consider using BACTOSAFE-I?

It is particularly beneficial when microbial contamination causes purity drops, increased sugar losses, or inconsistent process performance.

What factors determine the right BACTOSAFE-II dosage?

Crushing rate, cut-to-crush delay, microbial load, retention time, and contamination points all influence the recommended dosage.

Can BACTOSAFE-II respond to seasonal changes in contamination?

Yes. The application program can be adjusted according to contamination levels and changing operating conditions
throughout the crushing season.

Why is cut-to-crush delay important?

Longer delays encourage microbial growth, increasing contamination before processing begins. Optimizing sanitization under these conditions helps maintain process stability.

How much value can Bactosafe 1 generate for every 1x invested?
Bactosafe 1 generates 16.4x in value for every 1x invested, based on a 100 KLPD plant, 5 ppm dosage, and a 0.02% increase in recovery.
What is the value generated by Bactosafe 2 in relation to the investment?
For an investment of 1x in Bactosafe 2, the client generates 16.4x in value, based on a 100 KLPD plant, 5 ppm dosage, and a 0.02% increase in recovery.
