A-Molasses Graining vs. Syrup Graining _ A Theoretical Appraisal Under Victorias Conditions
Sto. Domingo, J.P.  1959.  This is a theoretical appraisal of the comparative merits of A-Molasses graining over syrup graining. Calculations on the two sugar boiling schemes are worked out along the pattern of the three-boiling system and with the same purities of raw materials,…
Massecuite and Molasses Relationships
Lopez, F.G. and Clark, J.A.  1960.  Calculations have been made upon solubility values of sucrose in impure cane sugar liquors and have developed numerical relationships expressed in the form of a graph between the following variables: purity of the massecuite, dry solids percent massecuite, purity of the molasses, dry solids percent…
Further Experiences with Wire-Mesh Entrainment Separators at Bogo-Medellin
Madrazo, C.M.  1960.  In an effort to solve the problem of scale deposition on the wire mesh screen, especially on the last cell of the evaporator where the heaviest scaling has been observed, the technical staff of the Bogo-Medellin Milling Co. decided to install a circular plate a foot below the level…
Fiber % Cane - Analysis and Effect on Chemical Control
Raymond, C.B.  1960.  It is apparent that by analyzing and reporting only the percent Fiber in Clean cane instead of that percent Fiber in Gross cane, the notable differences observed would be in tones and Pol in bagasse of about 4%, the Java ratio of 0.26%, sucrose extraction of 0.28% and percent losses in bagasse %…
Cooling of Low Grade Massecuite
Madrazo, C.M.  1960.  Raising the shaft and coils of a cystallizer to stir an apparently inert layer of massecuite and attaching a chain to the coils to produce a dragging action on the lower portion of the crystallizer, a more uniform cooling of the massecuite has been attained and consequently resulted to a lower final molasses purity. Cooling…
