Sugar Refining

MSM Prai is the largest sugar refinery facility in Malaysia and is located near Penang Port with a dedicated jetty on-site that enables barges to easily and cost-effectively offload raw sugar taken from sea vessels directly into storage for use in our refining process. The refining process of raw sugar basically involves the removal of impurities and colour from raw sugar and the further refinement of sugar crystals. As a result, this produces food-grade products such as white sugar, brown sugar, caster sugar and icing sugar which is marketed to the general consumers and industrial uses. Molasses (a viscous by-product of the sugar refining process) is typically marketed to producers of ethanol, animal feed and yeast, among other products.
