Evaluation of the Stg High Grade Continuous Centrifugal at Huletts Refinery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to the benefits reported on the use of continuous centrifugals in refineries elsewhere in the world, it was decided by Tongaat-Hulett Sugar Ltd to evaluate the Schultz, Tait and Greig (STG) continuous centrifugal at their sugar refinery in Durban, South Africa. This paper deals with the installation, commissioning and evaluation of the continuous centrifugal. Results of tests done on first and second refined massecuites are presented. Some problems experienced during the trial are discussed, and the benefits of using continuous centrifugals in the refinery are given.

Evaluation of the Saccharoflex 2000 Reflectance Measuring Instrument for Refined Sugar Colour Estimation at Huletts Refinery
Due to the successful use of the Saccharoflex 2000 reflectance measurement instrument on the estimation of refined sugar colour elsewhere in the world, it was decided by Tongaat-Hulett Sugar to evaluate the instrument at the refinery in Durban. Tests were carried out on first, second, third and fourth refined sugars, the results of which showed a good correlation between the ICUMSA colour measu...
متن کاملThe Development of an Instrument to Measure Colour and Turbidity On-line in Refinery Streams
Colour and turbidity measurement. An instrument has been designed to measure colour and turbidity using solid state light sources and sensors operating at 470 nni (blue) and 880 nni (infrared) respectively. It is intended to be a factory instrument suitable for detecting break through from filters and colour gain or loss over scctions of plant in a refinery. The measurements are exprcssed in ab...
متن کاملOn Hein - Lehmanni Continuous Centrifugal
For a number of years the cane sugar industry has been experimenting with various types of continuous centrifugals. The obvious advantages of lower power, less labour and uniform performance make this type of operation very attractive. At our 1954 and 1955 Congresses two very interesting papers were read dealing with the performance of the pusher-type of continuous centrifugal developed by the ...
متن کاملIncreased Capacity of Continuous Centrifugals Low Grade Massecuites
Modifications to BMA K850 centrifugals permitted increased throughputs of "C" massecuite in the order of 100%. The resultant molasses purities were little affected, but brixes were two degrees lower than before modification. Tests showed that the prototype BMA KllOO can handle four tons of "C" massecuite per hour with molasses purities comparable with those of standard centrifugals, but with br...
متن کاملStainless Steel Laser-drilled Screens for Continuous Centrifugals
Stainless steel laser-drilled screens (SSL screens) for continuous sugar centrifugals are compared with several types of chrome/nickel screens. Assessments are made of trials and routine operations at several factories around the world, and results of final molasses purity analyses, screen service life, and centrifugal capacities are examined. A semi-quantitative comparison is made between Aust...
