Plate Heat Exchangers in Cane Alcohol Production Plants
Fuller, R. 1983. This paper presents the construction and features of plate heat exchangers in cane alcohol production plants, its application, the energy conservation aspect and the process improvement. PROCEEDINGS OF THE PHILIPPINE SUGAR TECHNOLOGISTS. August: 294-303.
New Boiling House Techniques in UPSUMCO
Villaluz, J.E.N. 1983. The new concepts in Boiling House Operation in UPSUMCO, which is the double purging of “C” massecuite that have initially produced encouraging results, are presented. Benefits cited are reduced boiling time, steam economy, increase in capacity and improved sugar quality. PROCEEDINGS OF THE PHILIPPINE SUGAR…
Modified Distribution Formula for Molasses
Dizon, F.P. 1983. Since molasses distribution tables currently used in most centrals give very high theoretical molasses that generally the distribution factor for molasses is less than one, a modification of the existing formula for molasses distribution is proposed which is more realistic or approximating that of the actual…
Juice Screening in UPSUMCO
Bitera, S.D. Jr. 1983. The distinguishing effect of Multi-Stage screening equipment on factory control figures, together with its desirable contributions in enhancing processing operations is described. Significant benefits realized and enjoyed by UPSUMCO from Multi-Stage fine screening of the mixed juice are pointed out. PROCEEDINGS OF THE…
Hydrostatic Transmission – The Modern Variable Drive for Sugar Mills
Lindgren, L. 1983. At designing an industrial drive the problem to be solved is how to transfer energy or power from a primary source, such as an electric motor or diesel engine, to the driven machine. This paper relates the rationale of utilizing hydrostatic drive system and the advantages of hydraulic…
