Thailand Sugar

Raw Sugar
Raw Sugar is produced after evaporation and crystallization. Raw Sugar has a color index higher than 1,500 ICUMSA (International Commission for Uniform Method of Sugar Analysis: a measurement standard for color index used in the sugar industry - sugar with a higher color index will be darker in color than sugar with a lower color index). It has dark brown color, high dirt index and low purity index. It is possible to store Raw Sugar in bulk for long periods of time in the warehouse. This sugar cannot be consumed unless it is further refined and purified. Generally, the company melts Raw Sugar and refines and purifies it, even during the off season, to produce white and refined sugar. Some quantity of Raw Sugar is also exported to refiners in other countries.
High Pol Raw Sugar
Raw Sugar is processed through some refining steps to produce High Pol Sugar which has brownish yellow color. Normally, the color index is around 1,000-1,500 ICUMSA. This sugar is edible and is packed in bags. Normally, the price of High Pol Sugar is lower than White Sugar and Refined Sugar. The company usually exports High Pol Sugar to developing countries.
White Sugar
High Pol Sugar is processed further to remove impurities and produce White Sugar. The purity is higher, the color index is between 46-200 ICUMSA and the polarization is not less than 99.50 degrees. This type of sugar is the normal sugar that people consume and is used in certain food industries. The company sells white sugar to the domestic food industries and also exports to other countries.
Refined Sugar
Refined Sugar has higher purity than White Sugar. The color is white and clear. The color index does not exceed 45 ICUMSA. This Refined Sugar is of high purity. It is sold to industries that require high purities, such as pharmaceuticals, beverages and energy drinks. The company sells Refined Sugar to the domestic pharmaceutical, food and beverages industries and exports to several countries.
 Molasses
Refined Sugar has higher purity than White Sugar. The color is white and clear. The color index does not exceed 45 ICUMSA. This Refined Sugar is of high purity. It is sold to industries that require high purities, such as pharmaceuticals, beverages and energy drinks. The company sells Refined Sugar to the domestic pharmaceutical, food and beverages industries and exports to several countries.
 Bagasses
Bagasse is what remains of the sugarcane after the last crushing mill. At present the company uses a part of the bagasse as a source of energy to produce electricity and steam which are used in the sugar manufacturing process. The remaining bagasse is sold as raw material to Khon Kaen Power Plant Co., Ltd. which produces electric power to supply to the national electricity grid of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) and also supplies steam and electricity to the sugar plant and other Group companies in the vicinity.
Filter Mud
Filter mud is obtained by filtering the sediment from the clarifiers under vacuum. Filter mud can be used to produce general purpose fertilizers. Presently, the company gives filter mud to the cane-growers, who supply sugarcane, for use in their farmland to support the sugar plantations in the nearby areas. In the near future, this filter mud will be useful to the company in its alcohol and chemical projects as a total waste utilization system. The waste water from the alcohol plant will be processed and mixed with filter mud to produce fertilizers which are suitable for use in sugarcane fields. This makes the business totally environment friendly.
