Technology, Quality and Uses of Alcohol Produced in Brazil
Quast, D.G., Borges, J.M.M., et.al.  1985.  This paper discusses the alcohol production in Brazil, the three basic types of alcohol produced from cane and its uses. Evaluation of sugar cost at the mills and that of alcohol were discussed. Technology, Quality and Uses of Alcohol Produced in Brazil. Sugar Journal, July…
New Resin Decolourisaton Station at Finnish Sugar Porkkala Refinery
Ramm-Schmidt, L. and Hyoky, G.  1985.  At the Finnish Sugar Porkkala Refinery, the resin columns of 6m3 resin each were replaced during 1983 by new columns of 8m3. The paper deals mainly with constructional features of the columns. The new solutions have led to a significant increase in colour removal,…
Methods to Select Mill Operating Speed
Upadhiaya, U.C.  1985.  Operating speed should be worked out by the Parr formula, because this formula takes into consideration the crushing rate, preparation factor, diameter and number of rolls in the tandem and gives a fibre loading just above 4 lbs/sq.ft. of ascribed volume, which is quite reasonable. Methods to Select Mill Operating…
Determination of Dextran in Raw Sugar
Day, D.F. and Sarker, D.  1985.  This paper reports on a modified procedure of dextran analysis that can be used on a routine basis in the factory laboratory. The procedure utilizes an ethanol precipitation, as does the Roberts method to separate polysaccharides from simple sugars. This method shows the same insensitivity to the molecular…
Bagasse Solar Drying System
------------------.  1985.  This study showed that drying bagasse would indeed produce more energy for boiler operation and probably permit additional power generation. It was found that a passive collector solar drying facility is highly suitable for bagasse drying purposes as it has a relatively low initial cost as well as low operating and…
