About Us
The total area of the sugar factory in this agro-industry is 38 hectares and its infrastructure area is 53,600 square meters. The construction of this factory was started in 1999. In the first phase of the program, in 2008, a raw sugar production plant with a capacity of 100,000 tons was put into operation. In 2011, a refinery sugar factory with a capacity of 175,000 tons was built and put into operation.
The activities of the factory in the industrial sector began by receiving sugarcane from the agricultural sector, which, after going through various steps and performing the necessary interactions on it, resulted in the production of crystal sugar under the Zarrin Daneh brand.

This part of the factory is made by Eberhart company and is capable to process 58
Tons of limestone per day. In this part Co2 gas and milk of lime are produced , which are used during raw and white sugar producing processes.
Energy management department:
Another one of the management departments in the scope of industry is energy management department. The mentioned department with authority on diverse divisions such as steam generators, power plant, water and wastewater treatment, mist cooling system, … is liable for providing the required energy for the factory and optimal energy consumption surveillance.
Two sets of steam generators has been erected by Foster Wheeler Spain Company. The capacity of each of the boilers is 165 Ton/hr superheated steam at 380 Centigrade and 31 atm which is used for providing the energy necessities of sugar production train.
Included of two sets of turbo generators manufactured by Skoda Company from Czech Republic. Each of the generators is capable to generate 4800 kW power @ 6600 Volts, 50 Hz electricity at 1500 rpm rotary speed. In addition to the mentioned generators, 2 sets of diesel generators manufactured by DEUTZ Company from Germany has been installed which can generate 750 KW power @ 400 Volts and 500 Hz individually. The recent generators have been installed for emergency cases.
The Capacity of the treatment plant is 825 m3/hr and has been intended to provide 500 m3/hr utility water for industrial usages, 50 m3/hr potable water and 275 m3/hr as firefighting and irrigation water.
The mentioned plant has been erected at 2009. The plant capacity is 250 m3/day and is included of 3 individual packages with 83 m3/day capacity for each of them. The treatment method for the plant is extended aeration activated sludge. The mentioned process has been developed just after biofilter method and has been formed based on floating biological growth (microbial mass immersed in wastewater) which are active in the decomposition of organic matter in wastewater solutions.
The wastewater treatment plant has been designed and provided by a Belgium company called KEPPEL SEGHERS and has been erected and established in 2015 by some well experienced experts staff of the sugar cane company and native contractors on a field with 2.5 hectare area located at the eastern side of the sugar factory. The treatment method of the plant is a combined method included of aerobic and anaerobic treatment which can afford to treat 50 m3/hr wastewater (with pollution load of BOD 6000 mg/lit and COD 10000 mg/lit and 10 days retention time in equalization lagoon).
14 sets of condensation systems is used for vacuum creating in evaporation part of raw and white sugar production process. The maximum water utilization in this system is 8500 m3/hr. Even though the effluence water temperature rises up to 46 centigrade, however its chemical characteristic and of course its quantity and quality never changes. For preventing the losses of water and for energy saving observation, the effluent water flows into the inlet and outlet channels of the mist cooling system where the water temperature reduces to 31 centigrade and recycled again. This process leads to save about 204,000 m3/day.
