Water and wastewater treatment for the sugar and alcohol sector.

Sugarcane is an alternative to biofuels, driven by environmental concerns and the need for independence from petroleum derivatives for the economic sustainability of transportation in Brazil. With its leadership in sugarcane and its derivatives production, Brazil maintains a prominent role in the agricultural market and the country's economy.

Segment characteristics

A strategic sector for energy and the economy.

Sugarcane has established itself as an alternative for biofuels, driven by environmental concerns and the need for independence from petroleum derivatives for the economic sustainability of transportation in Brazil. Other countries use ethanol in their energy matrix, and the deficit between global supply and demand tends to keep Brazil as the main supplier. In this scenario, the sector remains a protagonist in the agricultural market and in the country's economy.

Challenges of the segment

Efficiency and cost under pressure.

Fluctuations in international sugar prices and the instability of the price of a barrel of oil on the international market require greater investments to optimize production. The focus is on improving product quality, increasing process efficiency, and reducing costs.

Recommended products

In sugar and alcohol production, flocculants act as solid-liquid separation agents to enhance juice clarification performance and improve the yield and efficiency of the sugar mill. They also contribute to optimizing sedimentation rates and reducing retention times in the clarification stage.
