OBJECT ORIENTED MODELING AND SIMULATION OF BATCH SUGAR CENTRIFUGES

Sugar crystallizers deliver a slurry where the sugar grains are suspended in the so called mother liquor. The centrifuges are the units in charge of mechanically separating the former form the latter guaranteeing the quality of the final product and the efficiency of the process. In the typical Sugar House there are batch and continuous types of centrifuges. Batch centrifuges are deployed in the stage directly concerned with the production of the commercial product. In what follows the hybrid character models of batch sugar centrifuges are described as part of a reusable Sugar House library specially designed for the training of control room personnel.
