Before Privatization There was Its Impact: Sugar Factories in Turkey.

This paper estimates the effect of a sugar-factory privatization policy on sugar beet acreages in Turkey. It finds that sugar beet acreages decreased by more than 15% due to the 2018 privatization of several sugar factories. Farmers decreased their contracted acreages in the middle of 2018, after the privatization announcement but before the actual transfer of the institutions. Production continued to decrease in the following years for the farms that were in the "catchment area" of the privatized factory group. However, for the farms that were in the area of the factories in which privatization was subsequently canceled, the negative effect of the announcement vanished. The results show that privatization policies can significantly affect markets even before the transfer of the institutions to the private sector.

Increasing Sugar Production and Its Alternatives and Availability of Plantation Land in Strengthening the National Economy

The purpose of this study is to find out the problem of the weakening of the Indonesian cane sugar industry which is unable to keep up with the rate of demand for Refined Crystal Sugar (GKR), especially for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries which has increased rapidly which has prompted the government to open up investment opportunities to build refined sugar factories using raw raw materials imported sugar. In addition, in order to explore alternative uses of raw sugar other than sugar cane, plantation management and trade mechanisms for domestic needs, as well as expansion of plantation land outside Java Island, in order to increase national sugar productivity.

Determination of Rheological Parameters of Non-Newtonian Fluids on an Example of Biogas Plant Substrates

Non-Newtonian fluids are commonly used in a wide range of industries; one example are in biogas power plants. Proper measurements and modeling of such fluids can be crucial from the design and operations point of view. Results presented in this study covered seven samples from three plants (a sewage sludge treatment plant, utilization biogas station and a biogas plant in a sugar factory), including mechanically thickened excessive activated sludge (MTEAS), sugar beet pulp (SBP), liquid fruit and vegetable waste (FVW), beet roots (BR) and corn waste (CW); their mixtures were prepared as in a real plant. The total solid content remained below 6.8% for all samples. The apparent viscosity (15 RPM) did not exceed 10 Pas in any sample. A correlation analysis for solvent type influence on the viscosity was carried out. The obtained results were analyzed, and the Herschel–Bulkley rheological model was selected for the fluid description. Then, the Moullinex method was applied to determine the H–B model parameters. The obtained results may contribute to the proper design and operation of various biogas power plants, in which viscosity seems to be one of the crucial flow parameters that influences the device types used, as well as energy consumption.

Tribological Failure Analysis of Journal Bearings used in Sugar Mill

Sugar factory uses the sugar mills for the extraction of juice from the cane for the further processing. The size of the sugar mill will vary from the capacity of sugar factory either 2500TCD or 5000 TCD. These sugar mills are supported by using the journal bearings because of the heavy loads. After doing the survey at various sugar industry named as Sanjivani Sugar Factory, Kopargaon Sugar Factory Kolpewadi, Madha Sugar Factory etc, it is observed that they are facing the problem of frequent failure of the journal bearing liners. The present study provides the effective solution for the increasing the life of the liner with the modified polymer composites materials. The failure causes of bearings are identified by simulating the operating conditions and conducting measured experiments on a Journal Bearing setup with requirements for different combination (i.e. load, lubricating oil, and speed) of operating conditions. The DOE technique is used to predict the performance of bearing [1,3,7]. The experimental and theoretical results show the presence of boundary lubrication conditions in sugar mill journal bearings. To diminish the problem of relatively high wear, grease lubrication with special additives should be used for the application [11].

Історичні ландшафти перших цукроварень Поділля

The locations of the first sugar factories in Podillia have been identified. The post-technogenic landscapes formed within these locations were studied. The history of the emergence in 1824-1827 and the disappearance (mid-1840s, beginning of 1860s) of the oldest Podil sugar factories in Ukraine is described. These factories were located near the city of Bershad’, Vinnytsia region. The locations of these factories have been established on the outskirts of Glynske village and on Vorony village near the Bershad’. The authenticity of the post-technogenic landscapes formed at the locations of factories was proven by the methods of archaeological soil science and landscape indication. The first sugar factory was located near Glynske village, on the left slope of the valley and on a fragment of the high floodplain of the Dokhna River, the right tributary of the Southern Bug. The second plant was located near Vorony village on the steep slope of the valley of the small Viitivochka River near its confluence with the Dokhna. In the structure of modern landscapes, evidence of the presence of industrial facilities in the past was found here (an old driveway, remains of stone foundations, numerous man-made inclusions in outcrops, in the lower part of the slopes – areas with a hilly characteristic of strongly demutated post-man-made landscapes of sugar mills -pit microrelief of artificial origin, etc.). The results of drilling (up to 270 cm) and descriptions of soil sections testify to the presence of man-made activity in the past related to the production processes of sugar production. The historical status of these landscapes – as a monument of the history of science and technology of Ukraine, and accordingly – the requirement of legal confirmation of such a status for them is substantiated.

Design and simulation of a combined flue gas and steam bagasse dryer to increase boiler efficiency of a sugar factory

Bagasse is a sugar industry residue used to generate high-pressure steam that can be utilized to generate electricity. The moisture content of bagasse is a serious issue that lowers boiler efficiency. The study conducted in Arjo Diddesa sugar factory, its moisture level of the bagasse is above 52%, which impacts boiler efficiency. In this plant uses traditional SHRD technique, this uses waste flue gas to decrease moisture content. To reduce heat losses, steam is directed through the inner tube, while bagasse and flue gas are directed through the outer rotating cylinder, leading in interaction between indirect steam and direct flue gas-bagasse. ANSYS software is used for the development of drier and optimization by considering the input parameters for the SHRD are: flue gas mass flow rate, bagasse temperature, flow Pressure of flue gas. The SHRD system is tilted to the horizontal at an angle of 4° and rotates at a speed of 4.6 rpm to aid in transporting wet bagasse. The moisture in the bagasse is dropped from 52 percent to 45 percent, and increase in efficiency of a boiler from 71.5 percent to 74.5 percent theoretically. The initial GCV and NCV with 52% moisture content are 9137.6 kJ/kg and 7129.4 kJ/kg. After drying, the45% ofmoisture content, the GCV and NCV of bagasse are 10484.8 kJ/kg and 8549.8 kJ/kg, respectively. The findings of the comparison show that the CV was raised by 1500 kJ/kg.

GIS AND GPS-BASED MAPPING OF SOIL PROPERTIES IN SUGARCANE GROWING AREAS OF SNJ SUGAR FACTORY ZONE, ANDHRA PRADESH

A survey work was conducted to assess the soil fertility status of sugarcane growing soils of SNJ sugar factory zone, Andhra Pradesh.

Evaluation of Current Farm Machinery Selection Practices of Wonji Shoa Sugar Factory

The Government of Ethiopia is trying to improve sugar industry sector by establishing new factories, expansion projects and rehabilitation of existing ones. The main input in this process is agricultural mechanization; however it has been resulted in a huge number of farm machinery of various types and sizes, without consideration of proper selection and matching between tractors and their attachments (implements). This approach had led to high cost of agricultural operation, resulted in an unbalanced distribution of machinery and the agricultural operations throughout the years. Wonji Shoa Sugar factory is one of the victims of the aforementioned problem. The present study was conducted to evaluate the current farm machinery selection practices of Wonji Shoa Sugar Factory. Three soil types namely; heavy clay, vertisol and sandy loam were selected with four field activities (subsoiling, ploughing, harrowing and furrowing). For subsoiling, ploughing and harrowing, 9410-R John Deer tractor with implements of 5 shank and 3.2 m wide mounted subsoiler, 2.8 m wide double gang offset disc plough, and 3.5 m wide semi mounted four gangs double offset were used respectively. For furrowing YTO-1804 tractor and a four bottom fully mounted 4.5 m wide rider was used. For each experiment, the draft force requirement of the implements, the drawbar power, fuel consumption, overall energy efficiency and power utilization ratio were determined at different tractor travel speeds. Subsoiling, ploughing and harrowing were activities were evaluated at the travel speed of w 3, 4, 5 and 6 km/hr. And a travel speed of 4, 5, 6 and 7 km/hr were used for furrowing operation. Linear regression tests were run to examine the interactions between the factors and determine their significant impact. The results of this study noted for furrowing operation as lowest draft force, drawbar power, fuel consumption and energy efficiency of 14 kN, 12.65kW, 13 lit/hr and 8.7 % respectively in sandy loam soil type. The maximum Draft force of 79.8 kW and drawbar power of 131 kW was noted for subsoiling operation in Heavy clay soil. Moreover the results of all operation in all soil type, as indicated by both overall energy efficiency and power utilization factor shows the mismatch between the tractor and implements, as the tractors were overpowered. That means a less amount of the available power from the tractor is being used to operate the implement. If the tractor had been matched with a bigger and compatible implement a better efficiency and higher productivity of the tractor implement combination could have been achieved.

Sugar factory ash as retaining wall backfill: A techno-economic trial

About 1 million tons of sugar-factory-ash generated every year in India. And its usage in geotechnical applications as a stabilizing agent and filling material is gaining momentum. However, a proper assessment of mechanical behavior of sugar-factory-ash as a backfill material and environmental impact of leachates generated during its usage are significantly lacking. In this study, triaxial shear behavior of sugar-factory-ash is investigated. Similarly, leachability tests are carried out to study the environmental impact. Furthermore, a gabion retaining wall was designed with sugar-factory-ash backfill to assess its economic feasibility. Triaxial test results showed that the shear strength (φ′m(p) ≥ 34°) of sugar-factory-ash is comparable with conventional backfill material. The alkaline nature of leachate results in a lower leaching rate (≤2.46) and lower concentration of toxic heavy metals, making it an inert waste (DEFRA, 2010). Its lower monetary value makes the retaining wall up to 41% more economical than conventional material. At the same time, its utilization can save equal amounts of natural resources from being exploited. This study revealed that technically sugar-factory-ash has a high potential as a backfill material and is economically more viable than conventional backfill material.
