Advances in Resin Technology for More Efficient Sugar Extraction from Cane and Beet Molasses
Bharwada, U. 1987. Advances in resin manufacturing technology has resulted in exceptional resin bead size uniformity. Resin is now available with size uniformity coefficient of 1.10. This means that 90 percent of the beads are within ±10 percent of the mean bead size in microns. And…
A Rapid Dextran Screening Test
Clarke, M.A., Bergeron, J., et.al. 1987. A simplified haze test, developed by Tilbury in 1970 has been modified by Sugar Processing Research, Inc. for use as a rapid screening test on incoming cane at raw sugar factories. This screening test is not an accurate assay for dextran, it will give a result higher than the Amstar haze test. The…
Recent Developments in Chemical and Microbial Products from Sucrose
Clarke, M. 1989. This article covers several of the more widespread current developments in utilization of sucrose, as well as those products of current manufacturing interest. Special emphasis is placed on new alternative sweeteners made from sucrose. An outline of the manufacture of chemicals from molasses…
Producing Pulp and Paper from Sugarcane Bagasse, A Worldwide Perspective
Atchison, J.E. 1989. By 1990, production of bagasse pulp is expected to be 2,200,000 MT and bagasse pulping capacity to be about 2,500,000MT. Shown is the historical development of bagasse pulping capacity, actual pulp production and the estimated number of mills of 30 tons daily capacity or more. An…
An Innovative Approach for the Sugar Industry
Herve, D. and Lancrenon, X. 1989. The new approach developed by Applexion for the sugar industry, one better adapted to meet the keen competition from manufacturers of other sweeteners, are: the design of a plant capable of year round production, the supply to the industrial sugar market of a commodity in its most convenient form…
