Optimizing Sugar Beet Pulp Dry Mass with Smart Dilution Reporting

Dilution Done Right = Higher Revenue, Less Waste

Beet pulp must reach a minimum of 26% dry mass. Between 26–28%, price increases with purity — but anything above 28% brings no added value. To maximize profit, excess purity should be diluted with water.

The Approach

• Water Addition Tracking: calculated the total water added as “product” per campaign using integrals in the statistics table, with campaign filters to highlight each period.
• Dry Mass Ratio Measurement: computed average dry mass percentage only during active system operation, applying formulas to derive dry mass from live signals.
• DoubleCheck with Flow & Activity: cross-verified results by comparing flow integrals and pump activity filters against calculated reports for accuracy.
• Rapid Visualization: leveraged the statistics table and precreated filters for fast, repeatable checks and ad-hoc analysis of dry mass trends over specific time ranges.
