Centrifugal Clarification of Molasses
نویسنده
چکیده
The compositions of the various organic and inorganic species in cane molasses show wide variations. Centrifugation can be used to remove suspended so!id particles. The bulk of these are precipitated calcium compounds. Removal of calcium by precipitation and subsequent centrifugation can be enhanced by the addition of sulphuric acid. The effects of dilution, temperature, and acid addition on the efficiency of calcium removal by centrifugation are described. A relatively simple procedure to determine the optimal molasses pretreatment method for maximum calcium removal is presented.

Stainless 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...

Two seasons ago it became necessary to refurbish the Band Ccentrifugal stations at some of the Tongaat-Hulett mills, the reason being that the majority of the machines were reaching the end of their useful life (approximately 20 years) and the baskets were developing fatigue cracks. At that stage, with the exception of Felixton, the most widely used centrifugal on Band C-massecuite was the BMA ...

Raw sugar colour is an increasing sugar quality concern, not because of a decline in the quality of South African very high pol raws but rather due to rapid improvements in the raw house colours in the rest of the world. Technically, raw sugar with lower colour has direct implications for the refiner’s effort and cost of processing that sugar. Enormous benefits could be derived if colourants co...
