THE MANUFACTURE OF SUGAR FROM THE CANE AND BEET BY T. H. P. HERIOT,
F. I. C. LECTURER ON SUGAR TFCHNOLOGV AT THE ROYAL TECHNICAL
COLLEGE, GLASGOW AUTHOR of SCIENCE IN SUGAR PRODUCTION WITH
ILLUSTRATIONS LONGMANS, GREEN AND GO. 39 PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON
FOURTH AVENUE SOxn STREET, NEW YORK HOWHAY, CALCUTTA, AND MADRAS
1920 SUGAR CANK. Messrs. Duncan, Stewart Co., Ltd., Glasgow. SUGAR
BKRTS. Messrs. John ViUy Sous, New 1V-X-J PREFACE IT has often been
stated that the sugar producer can only be trained in the factory,
theoretical knowledge being of little value. The aim of the present
work is to show that successful practice is becoming more and more
dependent on scientific principles, which can be studied more
effectively outside the factory than inside. It is worth recording
that the British cane-sugar producer followed the beet-sugar
producer in adopting the following inventions and processes 1
Bone-char and sulphur dioxide, for bleaching the juipe the
Carbonatation Process, for puri fying and clarifying thejuice the
Diffusion Process, for extract ing sugar from the plant the filter,
press the multiple-effect evaporator in vacuo the vacuum pan
apparatus for crystal lisation-in-motion the use of seed-grain in
the vacuum pan the centrifugal machine for curing sugar the centri
fugal machine for clarifying juice technical schools for the study
of sugar-technology and chemical control of manufacturing
operations. The French cane-sugar industry led the way in
systematic experiments in manuring of the cane experiments on
extrac tion of juice by milling the invention of shredders, to
increase the mill-extraction and the diffusion of sliced cane. The
British cane-sugar producer is probably notaware that his
up-to-date factory is borrowed from his rival, for he shows little
or no interest in the problems of beet-sugar manufacture. The
student of sugar-technology should have a wider outlook, and keep
in touch with all branches of sugar production, although he can
only hope to specialise in one. The present work will enable him to
study the two industries 1 Sec Noel Deerrs A Brief Sketch of
Discovery and Invention in the Sn ar Industry. vi PREFACE side by
side to note the progress made in each and the differences in
practice which have arisen from differences in the raw materials
treated, although the same substance is extracted. The two
industries are treated in separate Parts, or in separate Chapters
enabling the reader to follow the con secutive operations in one
industry, if he so desires the Table of Contents being a sufficient
guide. Additional Parts deal with the by-products of the two
industries, and the refining of sugar. Other sugar-producing plants
are briefly described. The cost of the book has been reduced, as
far as possible, by omitting detailed descriptions of
sugar-machinery, and by employing only such ilhistrations as are
essential to explain the text. Full references are made to other
works where the omitted details can be found. The author is
