Syrup is a clarified juice evaporated to approximately 65% dry solids in a stepwisernevaporation process. This concentrated syrup is needed to clarify further before the finalrnfractionation. All Ethiopian sugar factories are designed for the production of plantationrnwhite sugar (PWS) by double sulphitation system which is the main source of an increasedrnresidual sulphur dioxide in the final product. There is a significant interest in many sugarrnproducing countries towards producing a higher quality plantation white sugar with lowerrncolor and lower residual sulphur dioxide content. A sugar with a lower color and lowerrnresidual sulphur dioxide values is achieved by replacing the syrup sulfitation process withrnsyrup phosphatation and flocculation. The study was conducted to optimize the syruprnclarification as the result of the effect of Talodura and Phosphate on reducing color,rnturbidity and viscosity using flotation system and there by modifying or reducing the sulfaterncontent in the sugar. This increased sulfate is due to syrup double salfitation during syruprnclarification at Wonji Sugar Factory. Since degree of clarification is dependent on the dosernof Phosphate and Talodura flocculant, optimization of the doses was carried out againstrncolor, turbidity and reduction of viscosity. Design Expert 7 and JMP13 software were usedrnto determine the common optimum doses. The range of levels of the Prn2rnOrn5rn used was 117.8 -rn680 mg/L, and that of the Talodura was 7.2 - 12.8 mg/L. The optimum levels, 668 mg/L ofrnPrn2rnOrn5rn and 12 mg/L of Talodura gave color and turbidity values of 9772 and 4669 ICUMSArnrespectively and a viscosity reduction of 39 %. Practicing the above optimum conditions atrnWonji Sugar Factory could increase productivity and sugar quality.
