Visualization and control of the refrigeration process in Citrosuco's juice carrier Emily Oldendorff

Originally Brazilian, Citrosuco is a global producer of 100% orange juice, whose consumers can be found in over a hundred countries in Africa, America, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.

The company has five maritime terminals, which are in Santos (Brazil), Wilmington (USA), Ghent (Belgium), Toyohashi (Japan), and Newcastle (Australia), and a fleet of ships, which are five juice carriers and one multi-purpose vessel.

In 2023, Chiron-tec implemented a system for the control and monitoring of the cooling plant in Citrosuco's newest addition to its ship fleet – Emily Oldendorff. Currently, the 180-meter-long and 30-meter-wide ship is being converted from a cargo vessel into a juice carrier.
