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 ...
Improved train safety through improved locomotive braking performance : SRDC final report QUT019
(Sugar Research Institute, 2009)
The safe operation of the cane railway, in the same way as for mainline railways, is gaining greater attention. One important aspect of safe operation is the ability to stop a train in an acceptable distance (or time). ...
Understanding why potential field CCS is not realised at the factory : SRDC final report SD02005
(BSES, 2002)
Declining ccs in the Mossman-Tully region has been linked to increasing extraneous matter in mill-supply cane. This was quantified by measuring the proportion and quality of crop fractions in pre-and post-harvest subsamples. ...
Improving CCS in the wet tropics via block-specific monitoring of nitrogen in cane delivered to the mill : final report CTA045
(SRDC, 2003)
This project seeks to implement a scheme for monitoring the nitrogen status of
all cane crops in a wet tropics mill district and aims to work with growers in the
use of this information to improve CCS and reduce the ...
