ump transferring the juice from "Pre" to "First". Since the turbo-generators are the only equipment feeding into the exhaust line,

the indicated evaporator flexibility allows adjusting the exhaust pressure to mutually convenient operating conditions. If evaporators are clean, normal quin

tuple operation proceeds at an exhaust pressure of 1 psig. With incrustations, the pressure required may be as high as

3 psig. If the electric load on the generators demands lower exhaust pressure at the turbines, evaporators can switch to

quadruple operation. If backpressure at the turbines is not constraint, some additional juice can be evaporated by quadruple operation before cleaning. flotation type clarifier, for use with flocculent and phosphoric acid was installed in 1, together with the required heaters and aerators, on the second floor of the fabrication building. The scum is recycled to the limed juice tank, the clarified syrup passes to the pan feed tanks. The installation of second syrup clarifier, for use with decolorizing agent, is planned. 5. Sugar Boiling, Centrifuging, and Drying All of the eight 1,8 ft3 pans are fully automated, the three low grade pans are eqlpped with internal steam connections for massecuite circulation. They are of Honolulu-type design, allowing graining at one third of their working volume of 1,5 ft3. In central "control" room, levels and temperatures of all vessels are indicated on huge wall panel, but no actual controlling of valves is carried out. Mo-,lasses Brix and temperature are controlled automatically. For "" massecuites, there are three 2,4 ft3 strike receivers and just as many 2,8 ft3 crystallizers. For "" massecuites, there is one of each, and for "" massecuites, the numbers, originally, were three and four, but recently were changed to two and five. This oversizing of commercial grade massecuite curing capacity and undersizing of capacity for low grade massecuites is odd, considering how conventio
