The routine operation of sugar mills and refineries is heavily dependent upon the generation of laboratory data for various factory substrates. Many laboratory methods are technically demanding, costly, time-consuming and require dedicated laboratories and equipment....
This paper describes recent BSES initiatives to develop laboratory NIR systems for sugar industry applications, in particular, for the analysis of sugar, molasses and other factory products. For the analysis of sugar, previous BSES work to develop online NIR...
Decolorisation of sugar syrup prior to crystallisation improves the quality of raw sugar produced and reduces costs in further refining processes. The use of ion exchange resins for this purpose has been discussed in many publications and specialised resins are used...
This paper describes the development of an online NIR-based Bagasse Analysis System (BAS) at the Mulgrave Central Mill. It includes performance statistics in calibration and validation for equations developed and describes the electronic linking of a cane analysis...
