ABSTRACT
This report entails the industrial work experience scheme carried out by me for the purpose of obtaining a bachelor’s of science degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. The primary objective of the scheme is detailed comprehension of the theoretical approach to learning in the university and the practical understanding of what is obtained in the industry. The industry here in particular is the food and beverage industry of which sugar is the primary focus. Sugar, which is widely used by humans, is manufactured by plants during the process of photosynthesis and is found in many animal tissues. Various classes of sugar such as monosaccharide, disaccharides, trisaccharides and polysaccharides are abundant in nature. Amongst the commercially important sugars are glucose, lactose, maltose and most importantly sucrose from which we obtain sugarcane. Worthy of note is the fact that of all sugars, only sucrose can be crystallized. At Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc, where I performed my industrial experience, the various department where I worked during the industrial experience includes: Chemical Department, which controls
