SED, a leading Indian clean-tech process engineering company, has successfully delivered and commissioned critical modernisation technologies for Parag Agro's sugar facility, demonstrating SED's capability to engineer large-scale capacity expansion while delivering substantial energy efficiency gains and operational cost reductions in the sugar sector.
SED's technology suite includes proprietary falling-film evaporators (FFEs) with 5,000 m² heating surface, honeycomb calandria pan designs, and spray continuous-pan (SCP) crystallisation chambers compatible with low-temperature operations (85–90°C), enabling sugar mills to achieve steam consumption reductions of 32% (from 32% to 21–22% on cane) while maintaining production scale.
The Parag Agro engagement showcases SED's end-to-end modernisation approach—from equipment design and integration with Distributed Control Systems (DCS) for real-time monitoring, to synchronisation with legacy evaporation infrastructure—positioning SED as a comprehensive technology partner for sugar mill retrofits and capacity expansion across India.
SED's mission centers on helping sugar manufacturers expand capacity while reducing environmental footprint, aligning with India's sustainability goals and providing a repeatable, scalable business model for clean-tech engineering services across the fragmented Indian sugar industry.
