Extracting Sugar from Molasses
Lopez-Ona, J.V.  1981.  The process of curing or drying the massecuite consists of the separation, in a more or less perfect manner, of the sugar crystals from the surrounding syrup or molasses. This process can be carried out in two ways – by natural or artificial drainage of the syrup or molasses. Extracting Sugar from Molasses. Sugar Journal,…
Energy in a Cane Sugar Complex - An Original Technical Solution for its Most Efficient Use
Dormal, G.  1981. A power station could be built that uses a pass out turbo-generator comprising a condensing station. Such a design was used for the Zuenoula factory, on the Ivory Coast, started up in 1980. This paper gives an idea of the technical solution adopted to be able to respond…
Boiling Techniques for the Evaluation of Surfactants
Chen, J.C.P., Rauh, J.S., et.al.  1981.  This paper compares the effectiveness of surfactants for improving the efficiency of low-grade sugar boiling operations. Experimental formulations of different chemical compounds with surface activity were compared in carefully monitored sugar boiling tests with B-molasses from two…
Boiler Water Treatment Technology
Opelka, J.J.  1981.  This paper center its attention on the current “State of the Art” of Boiler Water Technology together with several practical approaches and applications that should be considered when developing a modern boiler water treatment program. The following subject matter is divided into two primary sections: state of the art of…
Biomass Fuels Dehydration with Industrial Waste Heat
Young, W.O.  1981.  The dehydration of the bagasse not only increases its heating value as a fuel, but more especially increases the system’s total output by making it possible to operate at a higher input temperature and exhausting smaller quantities of waste heat at lower temperatures. “Biomass Fuels Dehydration with…
