In the production of white sugar, the evaporation process is carried out to thicken the runny sap into thick sap. An evaporator is a device used to concentrate a solution consisting of a volatile solvent and a non-volatile solute. Where in the juice solution, the water contained will be evaporated so that it becomes thick sap according to the Brix that has been determined. This paper discusses the refining process in sugar manufacturing plants, especially in the evaporator unit to calculate the steam requirements needed by each evaporator body to achieve the appropriate viscous juice brix. The larger the desired sap brix, the more steam is needed in the evaporator unit.
