Ductile Iron as a Viable Alternative to Cast Steel for Sugar Mill Gearing
     Cross, T. and Graham, P. 1998.   This paper presents the technical requirements needed to manufacture large ductile iron gears. PROCEEDINGS OF THE PHILIPPINE SUGAR TECHNOLOGISTS. August: 224-242.
Cooling Water System for Sugar Mills
     Somosot, PC. 1998.  This paper discusses the alternative technologies for cooling and recycling of the warm water leaving the condensers, turbine oil coolers and crystallizers. The modern cooling tower technology provides very efficient cooling with less energy and space. Mist drifts and water losses are practically nil. PROCEEDINGS OF…
Advantages of Falling Film Evaporators for the Cane Sugar Industry
     Schwanke, U. 1998.  This paper attempts to describe the advantages of falling film evaporator for the cane sugar industry. The considerably shorter residence time reduces color formation and sugar losses significantly. PROCEEDINGS OF THE PHILIPPINE SUGAR TECHNOLOGISTS. August: 265-274.
Acetic Acid from Alcohol
     Gumera, R.S. and Ebron, R.P. 1998.  Batch fermentation of alcohol tailings into acetic acid was studied using both submerge and surface fermentation process. Only dilute acetic acid can be produces from the biological fermentation of alcohol. Surface fermentation of alcohol into acetic acid was found to be economically feasible and is recommended…
