The sugar crystals are dissolved in water and poured through a series of filters until the liquid is clear. The syrup is heated so the liquid evaporates leaving crystals again. The crystals are spun in a centrifuge
The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for cane sugar refining is 2061.
Yes, cane sugar refining is covered by SIC code 2062, which pertains to establishments primarily engaged in refining raw cane sugar into liquid or granulated forms.
This entry includes establishments primarily engaged in refining purchased raw cane sugar and sugar syrup. Sugar cane is cut and milled into raw cane sugar, then shipped in that form to refiners to be processed into syrup, granulated sugar, powdered sugar
SIC 2062 covers Cane Sugar Refining
SIC 2061 covers the Cane Sugar industry except Refining
The basic process is to mash up the cane to extract the juice, then evaporate the liquid portion to leave behind the sugar. As you might imagine, there are intermediate steps of refining to get the pure white substance. Minimal refinement (such as just filtering to get out the shreds of cane) give brown sugar. Mild refinement gives "blonde" sugar (sometimes called "turbinado" sugar).

Making sugar is a process of refining the juice from sugar cane, then adding back the various bits necessary (the molasses) (unless making white sugar) to achieve the various degrees of brown sugar. So muscovado is a combination of white sugar and molasses. However some companies only partially refine the juice from the sugar cane, which avoids them having to add the molasses back to the sugar.

Sugar cane is cut and milled into raw cane sugar, then shipped in that form to refiners to be processed into syrup, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, or brown sugar.
