Excerpt from Calculations Used in Cane-Sugar Factories: A Practical System of Chemical Control for Louisiana Sugar-Houses and Other Cane-Producing CountriesA good chemist should be thoroughly familiar with the practical side of the manufacture in order to more readily see the information most needed. In some factories there is a poor filter-press arrange ment, and the loss of sucrose by running the skim mings into the ditch is immense. A careful check ing of the sucrose account shows by the difference between the sucrose in the juice and sucrose in the total product the amount of sucrose lost, and the importance of watching this part of the factory is clearly shown. In other factories there is a large loss of sugar in the final molasses and the pan work requires especial attention. The main object of carrying on the business is the recovery of the greatest amount of sugar at the least cost, and the chemist should always keep this before him during the season if he desires to become valuable to his employer.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
