Moisture Determined by Near Infrared Spectroscopy
Vaccari, G., Mantovani, G., et.al.  1990.  The aim of this paper is the extension of the applicability of the NIR technique by determining raw sugar moisture. This parameter is very important for the evaluation of the storability of the sugar itself. Moisture Determined by Near Infrared Spectroscopy. Sugar Journal, April 1990:4…
Mist Eliminators in Evaporators and Pans
Belden, R.D.  1990.  This paper presents techniques to recover entrainment. First, the new designs of entrainment separators are now available; second, how to predict the performance of that equipment. This paper introduces those technological advances and how to put them to work to improving the operation of the evaporators and pans.…
Leucrose Production and Use
Scwengers, D., Benecke, H., et.al.  1990.  Pfeifer & Langen has been a producer of dextran since 1950. Dextran finds its main application as a blood plasma expanding agent in the form of aqueous infusion solutions. This paper discusses the fundamentals of dextran formation, its enzymatic production, the formation of leucrose, which is a by-…
Five Years Experience with Weak Cation Softening on Thin Juice
Henscheid, T., Velasquez, L., et.al.  1990.  This paper discusses the experience of Amalgamated Sugar with weak cation softening on thin juice. The softeners was installed with the ultimate goal of producing a soft molasses which could be processed in the chromatoseparator. Five Years’ Experience with Weak Cation…
Experience of Polystyrene and Acrylic Resins in Two Bed Decolourisation System
Ramm-Schmidt, L., Talvitie, E., et.al.  1990.  Five years experience has shown that acrylic resin gives a good protection to the styrene resin extending its lifetime to more than 300 cycles. Thus, the benefit of acrylic resin in the primary column in two bed systems is evident. This paper deals with…
