A Sugar Refinery Simulation Model

For a number of years the California and Hawaiian Sugar Refining Corporation, Limited (C and H) has found it increasingly difficult to conduct experiments essential to improving refining technology or to gaining a greater understanding of the specific capabilities and limitations of its refinery at Crockett, California. This article discusses the manner in which the refining process was analyzed, describes in brief the formulation of the model, and reviews the benefits derived from the model's development and use.
