Bagasse Drying Versus Air Pre-Heating
Bailliet. V.J.  1976. To achieved boiler efficiency and to minimize the reliance on auxiliary fuel to methods have been recommended The main advantage gained by drying the bagasse over the air preheating is an increase in “burnability” of the bagasse. When used in conjunction with fly ash arrestor or wet scrubbers, the air preheaters are…
Air Pollution Source Point Odor Evaluation
Stewart, D.L., Fordyce, I.V., et.al.  1976.  The reduction in odor emission rate in the scrubbed pulp drier sample of 64% suggests that chemical scrubbing offers the best approach to the odor reduction problem. It seems reasonable that the noncondensible vents could be introduced into the pulp drier system at the fire zone for flaming…
A New Exhaustibility Relationship for Hawaiian Final Molasses
Moritsugu, T., Somera, B.J., et.al.  1976.  Work was begun at HSPA to revise the expected purity tables that had been in use in the Hawaiian sugar industry since 1952. A set of samples was collected over a 2-year period and boiling-down tests were collected. A new relationship was chosen from the boiling-down data.…
Waste Impoundment Efficiency at Sugar Mill
St. Pe, K.M.  1977.  Division of Water Pollution Control personnel, when analyzing sugar mill waste impoundments, have found instances of waters exhibiting a low BOD5 and yet having an absence or only small amounts of dissolved oxygen. This situation occurring in impoundments in which direct sunlight penetration is restricted by heavy…
Using Bagasse as Fuel
Beyt, B.  1977.  Bagasse by definition is the refuse of the milling of sugarcane. The most important property, from the standpoint of burning bagasse, is its moisture content. Trash and mud have a tremendous effect on how bagasse burns. Today, there are two basic kinds of furnace to burns this fuel bagasse – the refractory cell and the spreader Stoker.…
