Molasses Purity Recovery Analysis

This document contains estimates of recoveries and losses for sugar processing with varying molasses purities. It shows that processing 100 tons of juice with 86% purity over 3 boilings can produce 88.07 tons of sugar and 30.86 tons of molasses at a final molasses purity of 40%. Lower molasses purity is achieved with more boilings but also results in higher sugar recovery and lower losses to molasses.
