Analysis of Polarity and Brix in Sugar Cane Juice and Polarity in Raw Sugar Using Near Infrared Spectrophotometer
     Songco, C. 2002.   136 samples of first extract sugarcane juice were measured in duplicate on a filter type NIR spectrophotometer for the estimation of brix and polarity, and 82 samples of raw sugar for the estimation of polarity. Reference analyses results…
Sensor Selection: Still an Issue in Sugar Crystallization Control
          Dr. Rozsa, L.  2003.  The paper discussed the problems related to super-saturation. Super-saturation is a multivariable function of several parameters of the liquid phase only, therefore there is no single parameter that could provide accurate data on it. The paper also proved that sensors are unfit to…
Retrofitting of Wet Gas Scrubber Plant for Boiler #2
          Turno, S.P. III.  2003.  The existing mechanical dust sepaation of CADP is not enough to enable the boilers to comply with the 150 mg/Ncm particulate emission concentration required by the Clean Air Act of 1999. The only way to comply with the new law is to retrofit a more sophisticated flue gas cleaning equipment…
Lead Substitutes for Laboratory Sugar Clarification
          Garcia, M.A.  2003.  Due to health and environmental concerns lead clarification had to be phased out for sugar analysis. This led to the present usage of two methods for factory samples and the development of a new procedure for a raw sugar polarization that does not use chemical clarification. In addition there…
How Sugar Centrals Profit from Wastewater-to-Energy Biological Treatment Systems
          Gregorio, H. and West Stewart, S.  2003.  Central Azucarera de Tarlac (CAT) asked Philippine Bio-Science (PhilBio), a copy in the waste-to-energy field and especially expert in wastewater treatment systems, to review all of its waste streams to identify energy-laden waste. After an…
