Three stage countercurrent liquid liquid sugar extraction

• The scum leaving the main clarifier is carried along with clear water by gravity It travels from stage 2 to the stage 1 mixing tank (gentle bubbling is produced for extraction without breaking the original floc)
• The clear fresh water from the initial stage goes directly to the dissolver, and the foam dragged by the clear water from stage 3 goes by gravity to the stage 2 mixing tank
• The stage 2 scum is dragged with pure condensate into the stage 3 mixing tank
• The stage 3 scum is measured for sucrose content and goes to the waste ditch
