Continuous Vacuum Pan Design for Raw Sugar Mill
     Thelwall, J. 1997.   The basic design parameters for continuous vacuum pans are considered together with their effect on the process performance. Comments are made on the various types of continuous pan, e.g. long flow path and multi-cell. Both the theoretical considerations of crystal residence time with perfect to crystal…
Continuous Centrifugals of Higher Purity Sugars
     Milner, T.D. 1997.   Using special high grade continuous centrifugals such as the model 5000 in the beet and cane sugar industries has made it very easy to create magma and to completely melt the sugar. The longer retention time on the 250 basket has helped reduce the recirculation of color and non-sugars. PROCEEDINGS OF THE…
Characterization and Decolorization of Sugar Refinery Ion-Exchange Resin Spent Regenerant
     Movillon, Jovita, L., et.al. 1997.  Samples of spent regenerant were collected from an ion-exchange column of a Philippine sugar refinery. Quality parameters like chromaticity, pH, COD(Mn), Cl; total solids and total dissolved solids were determined. Then the effluents were treated…
Transportable Small Sprinklers System for Sugarcane
     Zaragoza, R. 1998.   The small sprinkler irrigation system for sugarcane has taken shape just recently. The goal of the research and development in irrigation is to provide small farmers with an irrigation system that is not only affordable but also portable with least maintenance and gives the best possible uniformity…
The Effect of Soil-Applied Phosphorous on Juice Clarification
     Tapay, R., Gaston, N., et.al. 1998.  The effect on clarification of phosphorous fertilizer applied to the soil was studied on two varieties of sugarcane. Soil application of phosphorous fertilizer increased the P2O5 content of the juice of the two varieties used. There was a significant increase in clarity and…
