Demonstrate the true value of harvesting best practice and provide the basis for the sharing of the additional revenue created by its adoption
(2008)
The Cooperative Systems project (SRDC Project MSA003) considered how a cane quality incentive scheme might be incorporated into a cane payment. The report discussed the measurement and feedback of cane quality data to ...
Integrated value chain scenarios for enhanced mill region profitability
(2005)
The Australian sugar industry has recently faced an unprecedented cost-price ‘squeeze’ from a run of poor seasons and the collapse of the sugar price. As a result there is impetus to consider diversifying products from the ...
APSIM based determination of irrigation attributes and best use of limited water in supplementary irrigation areas of the Australian sugar industry
(2000)
The current industry focus on improving irrigation efficiency has identified the need for a better understanding of the potential gains from irrigation and use of irrigation resources in many sugar producing regions. This ...
Impact of chopper harvesting on the translation of field CCS to factory realised CCS : SRDC final report SD01007
(BSES, 2001)
This project was designed to investigate the impact of chopper harvesting on CCS at the
mill relative to measured CCS levels of cane in the field, as part of the reason behind
declining CCS. Background for the project ...
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.
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 ...
Upgrading load and speed limits for cane transport vehicles : SRDC final project report SD01004
(BSES, 2001)
The primary objective of this project was to reduce costs associated with the haulout of
cane by facilitating the continued development of haulout equipment, appropriate to the
needs of the industry.
This was achieved by:
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 ...
Improved batch pan monitoring, control and optimization - a soft sensor approach : SRDC final project JCU018
(SRDC, 2001)
Cane sugar is manufactured in process vessels called vacuum pans, which are
closely supervised by operating personnel, known as pan boilers. Traditionally, the
pan boiler’s job has been made easier through the use of a ...
