About Glucosan

Glucosan is the largest corn processing factory in Iran, manufacturing wide range of products such as glucose, corn oil, industrial/pharmaceutical/edible/oxide/pre-gelatinized starch, corn’s powder/meal/bran, liquid gluten, adhesive powder and carton sheets.

My Activities & Responsibilities

As chief automation/electrical engineer and designer, I have undertaken many development and renovation projects in collaboration with Alfa Laval AB Sweden, GEA Westfalia GmbH, Ponndorf Anlagenbau GmbH and TMCI Padovan SpA that led to increased product capacity and diversity.

• Optimized Intelligent Continuous Glucose Concentration Evaporator (Brix 86):

  Designed and implemented a liquid glucose concentration plant powered by super-saturated steam. Thanks to reliable and optimized engineering /modeling, amazing efficiency of evaporation through 4 stages achieved. Due to high concentration near to chocking level in vacuumed vessels heated by plate heat-exchangers in lowest boiling point, an intelligent and robust algorithm developed and tuned based on fail-safe PLC system.

• Robust Control of Starch to Glucose and Fructose conversion Plant:

  Developed an smart, self tuning and adaptive control physiology and hardware platform for production of glucose and fructose from starch by enzymatic process in jet cockers. Implemented controller was responsible for robust conduction of thermal reaction in hydro conversion chamber, de-coloring by vapor activated carbon, filtration in vacuum membrane drums and dynamic in-line PH balancing phases.

• Central PCS7 Management and SCADA System.

• Pneumatic Starch Transmission and Packing Machinery.

• Automation of 800 Ton Concentrated Glucose Storage Plant:

  Developed instrumentation and control systems for accurate tank gauging, logging and reporting of inlet/outlet gates & tanks levels of liquid highly concentrated glucose in 6 jacket heated tanks by total capacity of 400 m3 and HC gear discharge pumping.

• Starch Plant Extension for 600 Tons/day Corn In-feed:

  Redesigned, built and upgraded required facilities, machinery and Controls for Starch processing plant including MV/LV power substation, distribution MCCs, PFC banks, cabling, power starters, control cabinets, measuring instruments, mills, sieves, centrifugal separators, washing batteries, cyclones and dryers to increase daily milling capacity from 150 to 400 and 600 tons.
