Ceniprof Training
Last June, about 20 mechanical and chemical engineers from the sugar mills gathered in Cenicaña for a training and updating day in the management of the Ceniprof version 2.0 program.
This tool developed by the Research Center simulates and designs scenarios based on material and energy balances to determine the consumption of raw materials, inputs and energy, investment scenarios, operating efficiencies, and global and specific performance indicators by area.
During the day, experiences on the use of the program were exchanged, the handling of the components was recalled and improvement projections were presented.
