An experimental study of boiling in calandria tubes : SRDC final report JCU021
(SRDC, 2001)Raw sugar processing relies heavily on process equipment employing calandria-based heating systems to concentrate highly viscous sugar solutions, such as evaporators or vacuum pans. The design of these unit operations is ... -
An investigation of factors affecting ash in first expressed juice in the Rocky Point mill area
(BSES, 1981)Because of a deep concern at the level of ash in Rocky Point sugars and the lack of information on inorganic composition of juices entering the factory the management of W H Heck and Sons requested BSES to undertake an ... -
An on-line cane monitoring system to measure the extraneous matter present in billet sugar cane : final report CSU001
(Charles Sturt University, Sugar Research Institute, 2000)Extraneous matter (EM) in cane billets consists of two major types of material; dirt and trash. Dirt consists of primarily inorganic, rock derived material, while trash consists of primarily organic, non-productive sugar ... -
Biomass characterisation facility for extended stockpile model accuracy and capability: final report project 2011/049
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)Two issues critical to the design and operation of stockpiles are prevention of spontaneous combustion and minimisation of loss of heating value due to deterioration. There are currently few tools available to the industry ... -
Brix determination in first expressed juice by mass flow meter : SRDC final report SD97011
(BSES, 1997)A series of trials have been carried out to evaluate the performance of a Micro Motion CMF025 mass flow meter in place of the standard hydrometer for brix measurement in cane pay analyses. Tests were conducted at ten sugar ... -
Calibration of a density meter : final report PR92005
(BSES, 1992)The Australian Sugar Milling Council (ASMC), as part of its continuing investigation into precision density meters, purchased an EXAC Model 8300EX 12A mass flow meter with density measuring capabilities. This instrument ... -
Clean Cane Workshop 2000 : SRDC final report
(SRDC, 2000)The Corporation has identified clean cane as a strategic issue that transcends several of its programs of research. -
Crack detection and durability assessment of low speed sugar mill gears : final report JCU2S
(BSES, 1995)Heavy low speed gearing used by the Australian Sugar Industry is manufactured according to code specifications. These gears fail in several ways with the most common failure modes being the gradual surface fatigue of ... -
Data-base and data handling programs for Plant Data Record
(BSES, 1981)The information contained in the BSES Plant Data Record is stored in computer data-bases for reporting and reference. Data for both the 1979 and 1980 seasons is stored at Bundaberg and reports for each of these years were ... -
Determination of fracture properties of cast steels : final report JCU9S
(SRDC, 1998)Technology currently exists to estimate the structural durability of cracked sugar mill gears and mill roller shafts. Both SRDC projects JCU2S (Crack detection and durability assessment of low speed gears) and JCU6S (finite ... -
Determine the optimum tube dimensions for Robert evaporators through experimental investigations and CFD modelling: final report 2012/054
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Experimental investigations were undertaken in a single tube pilot evaporator for nine tubes of three different lengths and three different diameters to determine the optimum tube dimensions for Robert evaporators. ... -
Develop a blueprint for the introduction of new processing technologies for Australian factories: final report 2015/043
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)Several overseas factories are using technologies that reduce their process steam consumptions to very low levels, e.g. lower than 32% on cane, which are much lower than achieved by the most steam efficient Australian ... -
