| Description | G.C.Grimwood, P.D.Thompson, M.J.Thewlis. (181KB). International Sugar Journal. Vol. 102, No. 1224, Dec 2000. Summary : This paper provides a comparison between batch centrifugals and the HGCC and considers their suitability in refinery and raw sugar applications. HGCC offer reduced capital cost, power demand and operational costs. However they also have disadvantages including high moisture, higher wash consumption and a large load on the downstream dryer. The effects on ancillary equipment both upstream and downstream of the centrifuge are also considered. |
