Industrial Process Heat for Sugar Processing. Final Report of Innovative Research Program Subtask,December 1977--September 1978.

摘要

A thorough review of the beet sugar process was made. Plant tours were conducted,and numerous meetings were held with officials from both the Beet Sugar Development Foundation and the industry. Although most sugar companies view their energy balance information as proprietary,arrangements were made with the Holly Sugar Company in Colorado Springs to obtain energy balances for use during the study. In addition,the Holly Sugar Company has been actively involved in the study of geothermal production and utilization of low to medium grade steam. Since solar systems are currently available for producing steam of this quality,study of the utilization scheme in the geothermal study helped define areas where steam produced with alternate sources such as solar energy might be used. These areas are discussed. (ERA citation 04:042725)
