Lillie evaporator

Sugar, Glucose and Maltose.—One ton of sugar cane will give about 150 lb. of sugar in Louisiana, and from 200 to 225 lb. in the tropics. The juice will amount to 200 gal. per ton, with a density of from 5K to 8°Brix. It is concentrated in a triple or quadruple-effect evaporator to about 27°B6., with a steam pressure of 10 lb. and a vacuum of from 27 to 28 in. The capacity is 3 to 4 gal. per square foot, and the Standard, Lillie, Kestner, Sanborn and Swenson evaporators are the usual types. The 27°B6. solution is concentrated to 42° in single effects of the coil or Standard type. The capacity is about 1 gal. of water evaporated per square foot, and either live or exhaust steam is used in these pans.
