Factors responsible for the spontaneous combustion of molasses: In the case of certain factories when the low-grade massecuite are boiled at a little high temperature. T he certain ingredients of molasses are overheated & thus causing higher carbon content. After centrifuge the final molasses is sent to storage tanks with high temperature means...

Molasses deterioration is a common phenomenon during storage in the tanks. Molasses has a tendency to undergo rapid destruction & ultimately leading to know about spontaneous combustion. The phenomenon of spontaneous combustion occurs purely by virtue of certain chemical reactions. Basically, it is an “exothermic reaction”. This...

Key Considerations in Molasses Cooling: Molasses is a viscous fluid, and its viscosity changes significantly with temperature. This impacts the design and efficiency of cooling systems.  Maintaining the right temperature is crucial for both quality and process requirements.  The amount of heat required to raise or lower the...

Types of Molasses Coolers :Finned Tube Coolers These coolers use tubes with fins to increase the surface area for heat transfer, enhancing the cooling efficiency.  Plate-type coolers offer advantages like compactness and easy cleaning, making them a practical option.  These systems utilize the principle of evaporation to lower the...

Why cool molasses? Molasses contains sugars that can degrade and lose their fermentable properties if stored at high temperatures. Cooling helps to minimize these losses. Cooling reduces the risk of microbial growth and unwanted chemical reactions that can lead to spoilage and changes in molasses properties. In ethanol production, cooling is...

A “molasses cooler” refers to a system or device designed to lower the temperature of molasses, a viscous by product of sugar production. Cooling is important for maintaining the quality and preventing degradation of molasses during storage. Various types of molasses coolers exist, including those utilizing finned tubes, plate heat...

• Duplex type Molasses Cooler • Liquid to Liquid • Horizontal/Vertical shape • Tiny coolers with cover & multi bolt system • Easy to clean • Low maintenance & highly efficient • Minimum head loss • Direct installation without disturbing existing arrangement • Long Life

Process of Cooling the Molasses: Tubular molasses coolers will have more number of tiny coolers with single pass for molasses and cooling water. Molasses will pass through the tubes whereas cooling water shall pass outside of the tubes. The cooling water and molasses will travel in counter current direction and required cooling can be achieved....

Aim of Molasses Cooling To maintain proper conditions for storage of molasses i.e., both qualitative and quantitative losses are to be avoided. As from commercial angle molasses storage has vital importance in view of its revenue earning potential. The effect of non-sucrose in the process is therefore an important factor in determining the quantity...

Molasses is a viscous by product, principally obtained from the refining of sugarcane or sugar beet juice into sugar. Molasses varies in the amount of sugar, the method of extraction, and the age of the plant. Sugarcane molasses is usually used to sweeten and flavour foods. Molasses is a major constituent of fine commercial brown […]
