For Australian sugar factories where most pan stages comprise large, unstirred batch pans, the ability to reduce the process steam consumption of the factory by operating the pans on low-pressure bleed vapour from the evaporators, such as vapour from the third effect...
For Australian sugar factories to achieve substantial reductions in process steam consumption will require that the pan stages use bleed vapour from the evaporators, and preferably vapour 2 or vapour 3. However, most Australian pan stages comprise large, unstirred...
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 mill’s first unit in a continuous-flow...
The crystal-size distribution of product massecuites from continuous pans has always been of major interest to designers of these pans. As several overseas cane factories seek to operate continuous pans with lower pressure vapour, e.g. vapour 3 or vapour 4 from the...
For the 2018 season Bundaberg Sugar installed a 4,000 m 2 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 industry. An evaluation program was undertaken...
