Electric Power Factor in the Cane Sugar Factory
Arnold, K.S.  1976.  This paper attempts to show that in a cane sugar factory the maintenance of a good power factor as a matter of technical policy can provide substantial advantages in improved operation and efficiency of the electrical system, which can in turn contribute to lower capital costs being invested in generators,…
Compromise Boiling System
Toca, C.R.  1976.  The boiling scheme consists mainly of boiling the “B” strike out of a “C” sugar magma footing with “A” molasses and using the “B” sugar resulting from this strike for magma as footing for “A” strikes. All the commercial sugar produced is from “A” striked. Graining is done on pure syrup or a blend of syrup and straight “A” molasses…
Colorant Formation Under Refining Conditions
Carpenter, F.G. and Roberts, E.J.  1976. One type of colorant in commercial sugars is that formed in the course of refining processes. The literature on this subject is reviewed and current experimental work under controlled conditions is described. Colorant Formation Under Refining Conditions. Sugar Journal, June 1976:41-43.
Capacity Determination of Continuous Centrifugals
Schubert, P.K.  1976.  With the purity method, the subject of this paper, individual machines of a continuous centrifugal station can be tested at any time, and the time required is only as long as it takes the laboratory to run a few routine analyses. Capacity Determination of Continuous Centrifugals. Sugar Journal, August…
Barometric Condensers Good or Bad
Ziegler, J.G.  1976.  Future designers of barometric condensers would do well to spend more time considering means to withdraw water smoothly and less on the internal baffling arrangement. Higher efficiency is possible if increased condensing area is provided and a section of coarse raschig rings could be an economical answer. But oversized…
