Vertical Continuous Crystallizer Victoria Mill
Keast, W.J. and Sichter, N.J.  1984.  Capacity limitations of the crystallizer station at Victoria Mill caused higher than normal molasses losses for several years prior to 1981. To lower the C massecuite end of cooling temperature and improve exhaustion a BMA designed vertical continuous crystallizer was constructed and brought…
Solar Energy for Corrosion Control in Idle Boilers
Hebert, R.  1984.  The energy generated from the sun replace the space heaters to dry the boilers. Solar collectors are used to collect the heat from the sun. This heat in turn is stored in hot water. The hot water is used to heat the air in the boilers by the use of hydronic heater coils and fans. Since the air in the boilers…
Refining Cane Sugar in a Beet-Sugar Factory
Toth, L.  1984.  In 138 days of cane refining it was shown that a beet plant with a minimum of additional equipment is able to perform a successful cane-sugar refining. The produced sugar met the highest standards. Refining Cane Sugar in a Beet-Sugar Factory. Sugar Journal, October 1984:7-12.
Reduced Boiling House Recovery ESG
Shi-yang, H.  1984.  This paper discusses the reduced boiling house recovery ESG formula of Noel Derr and Gundu Rao and on such basis presents a new formula. This formula considered the sucrose loss in final molasses in reduced recovery calculations, as it is influenced by the non-sucrose content, whereas loss in boiling house processing is…
Prevention of Rapid Deterioration of Sugarcane Molasses during Storage
Agarwal, S.K.D.  1984.  Studies were made on the rapid deterioration of molasses caused by the bacterial contamination during storage at its original brix. This was associated with the development of a thick film of fungi, which floated over the molasses. Further deterioration was prevented by addition of…
