HSPA molasses and alcohol stillage characterization project. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5556620
Samples of final molasses were collected at the Puunene factory of Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company from October 1977 to December 1978 for analysis, conversion into alcohol and stillage, and analysis of the resulting stillage. Sugars, ash, and organic nonsugars were determined on both the soluble and insoluble fractions of the molasses and stillage. The soluble portion of the stillage contained a significant quantity of potassium (average of about 120 lb/ton of molasses) and is of potential value as a fertilizer. The insoluble portion would be a moderately good feed supplement for cattle, swine, and poultry. Centrifuging may be sufficient to separate the fertilizer and animal feed values, although further study will be required to ascertain this. Means of concentrating the fertilizer to practical levels will also require study.
