Abstract
In the Introduction the author gives reasons for the slow adoption of the totally electrified sugar factory in the British Empire as compared with other parts of the world. A brief general description of the processes involved is then given; advantages and disadvantages are discussed and some comparison is drawn with steam-driven plants. The necessity of having a sugar factory specially designed for the all-electric drive is then stressed and details are given of the general layout of such a plant to obtain the maximum benefits of total electrification. A discussion then follows of the most suitable type of apparatus to employ, including notes on power-factor correction and maintenance routine. The paper concludes with examples of typical power consumption and cost of generating current.
