To get more insight in the environmental performance of the Suiker Unie beet sugar, Blonk Consultants performed a comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study on beet sugar, cane sugar and glucose syrup. The system boundaries of the sugar life cycle are set from cradle to regional storage at the Dutch market. For this study 8 different scenarios were evaluated. The first scenario is the actual sugar production at Suiker Unie. Scenario 2 until 7 are different cane sugar scenarios (different countries of origin, surplus electricity production and pre-harvest burning of leaves are considered). Scenario 8 concerns the glucose syrup scenario. An important factor in the environmental impact of 1kg of sugar is the sugar yield per ha. Total sugar yield per ha differs from 9t/ha sugar for sugarcane to 15t/ha sugar for sugar beet (in 2017). Main conclusion is that the production of beet sugar at Suiker Unie has in general a lower impact on climate change, fine particulate matter, land use and water consumption, compared to cane sugar production (in Brazil and India) and glucose syrup. The impact of cane sugar production on climate change and water consumption is highly dependent on the country of origin, especially when land use change is taken into account. The environmental impact of sugar production is highly dependent on the co-production of bioenergy, both for beet and cane sugar.

This paper elaborates on the key solutions offered by De Smet Engineers & Contractors (DSEC) to optimize the efficiency of cane sugar producing and processing facilities. In order to meet customer needs, DSEC offers proprietary predictive models built using the latest versions of specialized software. These models allow factory managers to envision the whole picture of increased operational and capital efficiency before it becomes reality. An integrated energy model and the CAPEX/OPEX evaluation method are discussed as ways to estimate and optimize costs, both for new greenfield projects and revamping of existing factories. The models demonstrate that factory capacities can be successfully increased using equipment that is already available. Special attention is paid to crystallization and centrifugation process simulations and the potential improvement of the global energy balance. One case study shows the transformation of a beet sugar factory into a refinery to process raw cane sugar after beet crop season and the second case shows the integration of a refinery into a cane sugar factory. The primary focus of the article is optimization of the technological process through predictive modelling. DSEC’s suggested solutions, which lead to great improvements in a plant’s efficiency and its ability to obtain very low energy consumption, are discussed.

Infusion with buffer/sucrose solutions (up to 30% sucrose) has long been used to ‘cryoprotect’ tissue in an attempt to prevent ice crystal artifact in frozen sections. This is helpful for example in sectioning large, fixed tissue blocks that must be frozen relatively slowly in dry ice to allow sectioning on a sliding microtome. In 1977, De Olmos added ethylene glycol to the mixture (30 g cane sugar/50 ml 0.1 M PO4 buffer at pH 7.2 in 20 ml ethylene glycoi) for -10°C storage of free floating sections from lightly fixed primate brain. Jones and Kane in 78 used this solution for storage of sections at -20°C (standard household freezer temperature) for up to one month before horseradish peroxidase histochemical reaction, in their methods, they cautioned that "sucrose attracts insects" (ants, personal communication). We and others have found the above cryoprotectant solution generally useful for storage of free floating sections from fixed brain. We observed that adjacent sections stored at 4°C in buffer for 2 weeks (common practice for Nissl stained sections) lost their reactivity to antibody labelling.
