New Prelimer System Installed to Support Expanded Sugar Beet Processing Capacity
To support a capacity expansion goal of processing 15,000 tons of sugar beets per day, a new Prelimer system was designed to replace the outdated and undersized liming tank system. Liming is a critical part of sugar processing operation. The design encompassed process, mechanical, structural, and electrical elements, including equipment layout, piping, pumps, gear drives, and structural components. Specialized equipment suppliers were engaged, and process calculations were performed to ensure optimal sizing. Construction assistance was provided on-site to support the installation of the new system.
