Sugar Research Institute (SRI) offers global expertise in sugar milling and refining technology. We draw upon more than 65 years of sugar-specific experience to solve the technical and operational issues of cane sugar processing. SRI’s understanding of the science of sugar processing helps sugar mills and refineries worldwide to maximise sugar recovery, and to deliver best practice in process efficiency and plant design. Our focus is to offer our clients and owners a competitive advantage based on technical and operational excellence. Established in 1949, SRI operates on a “not-for-profit” basis and is owned and supported by Australia’s sugar milling industry.
