Instrumentation and Control Systems for the Sugar Factory
Manaloto, R. 1962. Instruments and control systems can keep a closer regulation of different variables in the process and a quicker response to process or load changes such that the operation can be carried and maintained at the required conditions. PROCEEDINGS OF THE PHILIPPINE SUGAR TECHNOLOGISTS. August: 294-303.
Automatic Cane Feeder Control at Victorias Milling Company
Gamboa, E.F. 1962. Realizing the importance of even and continuous cane feeding and the need for an automatic controller, VMC utilized the movement of the “Floating Feed Roller” of the first mill to regulate the feeding of cane into the crusher. PROCEEDINGS OF THE PHILIPPINE SUGAR TECHNOLOGISTS. August: 139-145.
A Statistical Approach for Determination of Final Molasses Exhaustion Index from its Chemical Composition
Guillermo, R.J. 1962. The chemical analyses data from 34 weekly composite samples of VMC final molasses were subjected to statistical analyses for a possible exhaustion index. Recommended, as an exhaustion index would be the ratio of the molasses actual true purity…
A Preliminary Comparative Study of the Use of Acid and Alkali in the Production of Alcohol from Final Molasses
Valera, L.V. and Bobon, I.R. 1962. Experiments showed, that it is only the use of ammonium sulphate that gives consistently profitable and higher alcohol yield in the fermentation of cane molasses. PROCEEDINGS OF THE PHILIPPINE SUGAR TECHNOLOGISTS. August: 105-…
A Critical Analysis of Available Sugar Formulas
Suerte, D. 1962. Several formulas are in use for the calculation of available sugar from the juice of a given analysis. Since the International Sugar Council controls 80% of sugar export trade, it is recommended that the association adopt the conversion formula (ISC) for raw equivalence. PROCEEDINGS OF THE PHILIPPINE SUGAR…
