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 ... -
Optimising productivity and variety recommendations through analysis of mill data : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2016)Production peaked in the Herbert River mills in 2005 but since then productivity has declined. Analysis of mill data in the Herbert has successfully identified groups of farms with similar productivity over time and the ... -
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. ... -
Improving mill efficiency through rapid analysis methodologies : final report 2014/051
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)A rapid analysis system for measuring key constituents in sugarcane factory products has been developed using diode array (DA) near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic technology. Analysis of key constituents in prepared cane, ... -
Improved modelling of wet scrubbers : final report 2012/055
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)While wet scrubbers have high collection efficiency, operational problems associated with many wet scrubber installations reduce boiler steam output and, therefore, factory crushing rates. These problems include: -
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 ... -
Evaporator liquor brix sensor : final report 2017/003
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)A Pro-M-tec Ultrasonic Time of Flight (TOF) sensor was installed for trials at Victoria Mill in 2017. The TOF instrument calculates the brix of a liquid using the measurement of temperature and velocity of an ultrasonic ... -
Evaluation of the Neltec Colour Q for measuring the purity of magma from C centrifugals : final report 2018/201
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)In Australian factories one operator typically manages the high grade fugalling, sugar drying and low grade (C) fugalling stations. The C fugals are managed least effectively as there is no process instrumentation to monitor ... -
Reducing in surging in shredders : final report 2019/204
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)Cane shredders and the level of cane preparation achieved by them play a significant role in the performance of every mill’s extraction train. The application of feeder rolls to shredders has a twofold objective of ... -
Evaluate the suitability of the fixed element crystalliser for widespread adoption in Australian sugar factories : final report 2019/202
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)The fixed-element design of a horizontal cooling crystalliser is relatively new to the Australian industry and the installation at Broadwater Mill for the 2017 season proved to be an economical solution to refurbish the ... -
Evaluate the performance of the falling film tube evaporator at Bingera Mill : final report 2019/201
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)For the 2018 season Bundaberg Sugar installed a 4000 m2 falling film tube evaporator (FFTE) of the BMA design at No 1 evaporator position at Bingera Mill. This was the first installation of a FFTE into the Australian ... -
Optimising productivity and variety recommendations through analysis of mill data : Final report 2016/32
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)The annual productivity of the Australia sugarcane industry fluctuates significantly across most sugarcane growing regions. Although some of this regional variation can be explained by extreme weather events or disease ...
