Bosch Engenharia executes Operational Management
for Distillery in Brazil
LASA Distillery
Bosch Engenharia was appointed to execute the operational
and maintenance management of LASA’s Distillery (Lago
Azul S/A), taking it over in 2012, when the distillery was going
through a rehabilitation process and was crushing 300 000
tonnes of cane per year.
Bosch Engenharia’s experienced industrial manager works
closely with the local area managers and is supported
by the multidisciplinary engineering team, located in
the Piracicaba-Brazil offices. The first year of contract
raised the throughput to 409 000 TCA, and in 2014
the final crush rate reached 457 000 TCA. The goal is to
achieve 700 000 TCA in a period of three years, using Bosch
Engenharia’s proven technologies.
Storage – ethanol tanks
The first proved technology to be implemented in the factory
is a 2300 m3 Bosch Long Tube Evaporator (LTE), which is
expected to be commissioned in July, 2015. It will be the first
Bosch LTE in operation in South America.
The value of this project consists of a monthly fee, plus an
annual bonus calculated on a percentage of the monthly
production surplus in relation to the breakeven.
