PAPER PUBLISHED IN INTERNATIONAL SUGAR JOURNAL.  July 2001.  A paper entitled Modeling the New Technology Raw Sugar Factory/Refinery Using Sugars™ for Windows® was published in Volume CIII, Issue No. 1231 of the International Sugar Journal based on work done at the Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative (SCGC) of Florida.  The paper covers modeling of the raw sugar factory with ultra filtration, juice softening, chromatographic separation and crystallization added to the factory to produce 500 US tons per day of refined sugar using approximately 20% of the clarified juice.  The added revenues for the factory from the new technology are shown and other alternatives are discussed.

ZUCKERINDUSTRIE ARTICLE ON SMBS COOPERATIVE.  February 2001.  An article titled Modernization of the Southern Minnesota beet sugar factory was published in the February 2001 issue 126 (2001) of  Zuckerindustrie magazine.  This article discusses the expansion of the factory to 14,500 short tons per day of beets. As discussed in the article, Sugars was used for the expansion to evaluate "...many different scenarios. This allowed the design to be optimized for thawed and frozen beet conditions at a range of throughputs as the factory capacity was progressively increased."
