Hardening of raw sugar : SRDC final report CSR8S
(CSR, 1991)Australia has a long term contract to supply the Soviet Union with raw sugar. While the contract seeks to avoid delivery in the coldest months, the long transport from Black Sea ports and possible delays can lead to ... -
High grade sugar recovery using a continuous centrifuge : final report BSC25
(Bundaberg Sugar company Limited, 1990)This project report describes the conversion of an existing batch high grade centrifuge to a continuous unit (termed a hybrid fugal) and an assessment of its performance characteristics. -
Hygroscopic water in sugarcane : final report 114
(CSR, 1990)At the 1989 Workshop on Cane Analysis conducted by the Sugar Research Council it emerged that the best technical method of cane analysis for the Australian industry was the direct cane analysis method (DCA) employing ... -
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 ... -
Implement supervisory/advisory control of pan and fugal stations : final report 2010/038
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015) -
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 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: -
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). ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
Intelligent adaptive control in an on-line cane transport scheduler : final report UCQ2S
(SRDC, 1996)The vast majority of the Australian sugar crop is transported from the field to the sugar mill by privately owned cane railways. The total length of the permanent way exceeds 3000 km and approximately 500 x 106 tonne ... -
Monitoring cane at the mill to improve nitrogen management on the farm : final report CTA029
(SRDC, 2002)The project originally had a third objective, namely to “Develop promising leads in rapid and cost effective analyses of N compounds in the mill juice stream to a “proof-of-concept” stage.” Instrumentation issues and ... -
Monitoring cane at the mill to improve nitrogen management on the farm, a pilot study : final report CSC21A
(BSES, 1997)The project examined variation in amino-N in cane supply at the Macknade Mill during the 1996 crushing season. This variation was related to factors such as crop class, variety, time of harvest, ccs, and farm supplying the ... -
Open area and screen resistance measurements on fugal screens
(BSES, 1988)To determine whether the decrease in fugal capacity was due to the working screen or the wedgewire backing supporting it, a series of measurements were carried out on test specimens cut from the top, middle and bottom of ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Power factor correction : North Eton mill 1979
(BSES, 1979) -
Proving a natural gamma ray soil monitor in sugar mill application : SRDC final project BS177S
(BSES, 1999)A commercially available instrument for measurement of soil in cane supplied to mills has been successfully commissioned at Tully Sugar Limited and is being used for cane payment and by mill personnel as an alarm for ... -
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 ...
