1. USE OF MILL TESTS FOR MILLING OPTIMIZATION
HAROLD S. BIRKETT

2. MILL TEST METHOD COLLECT CANE GOING INTO MILL
COLLECT BAGASSE OUT OF EACH MILL
ANALYZE SAMPLES FOR:
MOISTURE (DRY)
POL (BLENDER)
FIBER (BLENDER, WASH, DRY)

3. POL % FIBER INTO MILL – POL % FIBER OUT MILL X 100
MILL TEST METHOD
PLOT MOISTURE CURVE
CALCULATE POL EXTRACTION AS:
POL % FIBER INTO MILL – POL % FIBER OUT MILL X 100
POL % FIBER INTO MILL
