Evaluation of the Saccharoflex 2000 Reflectance Measuring Instrument for Refined Sugar Colour Estimation at Huletts Refinery
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 measurement and the reflectance reading obtained from the Saccharoflex 2000. The instrument offers a number of advantages, the main one being that a refined sugar colour value can be obtained in less than a minute. The refinery has therefore purchased one for process control.

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 کاملEvaluation of the Hunterlab Colour Measuring Instrument
Preliminary work done by the Sugar Milling Research Institute (SMRI) showed that the HunterLab colour measuring system could possibly be used to estimate the colour of raw sugar. With this system it was possible to measure the colour within a short time (less than one minute). The instrument (ColorQuest LAV 4S0/0") has been used for several seasons at the Transvaal Sugar Limited Malelane (ML) f...

متن کاملAbstract to SPRI Conference, 2006
The options and prospects for the direct production of white sugar in a cane sugar mill are reviewed. Plantation white sugar has been made for many years in some countries but cannot meet the requirements for refined sugars. These low colour sugars are now a popular quality raw sugar for the increasing number of destination refineries. Attainment of refined sugar standards needs the application...
