Compound imbibition is a well-known imbibition scheme widely used in sugar mills. In this scheme, the mixture of fibre and juice retained by the cush cush screen is returned to either the first mill or the second mill. A model has been developed to simulate the...
To explore the possibility of reducing exhaust-steam requirement for multiple-effect evaporators, this study investigates the mixed-flow mode of evaporator operation. In the mixed-flow mode, sugar juice and steam are moved in the same direction in the 1st effect, but...
The efficiency of a bagasse boiler increases as the final flue-gas temperature decreases. High flue-gas temperatures may be used to reduce the moisture content of bagasse in a flue-gas dryer. Alternatively, increasing the surface areas of an economizer and air heater...
