GOALS. You invited me to develop two sub-topics relative to citrus in the world food outlook. The first and shorter is to update the speech delivered to your association in this auditorium three years ago.2 The second, to which more emphasis is to be given, is to discuss selected important citribusiness issues in such detail and at a sufficiently high level of generalization to provide perspective for your long-range profit planning as you develop products featuring adequate technology for citribusiness here and abroad.

During the 1976 edition of the Citrus Engineering Conference, Mr. Dave Hamrick, Technical Vice President of Tropicana Products, delivered a paper entitled “Condensate Reuse in Citrus Plants”. In this paper, he described the nature and composition of process condensate, showed the quantity which might be available for reuse, and recommended several areas where this water might be used.

The Citrus Engineering Conference Committee of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers is to be commended in choosing this timely subject, Citrus in Brazil.
As most of you know, and as this paper will confirm, Brazil is second only to Florida in the production of frozen concentrated orange juice.
One of the essential components of an effective marketing program is to know your competition so that effective strategies may be developed.
The purpose of this presentation is to give you an overview of citrus in Brazil and its relationship to the Florida industry.

Solid state adjustable-speed a-c drives offer a new era in high performance, maintenance-free, industrial drive systems. Whether applying a solid state adjustable-speed a-c drive to a new application or a retrofit to a fixed frequency drive there will be recognized unique advantages, both economically and from this standpoint of performance.
Since its’ introduction in the mid 1960’s the pulse width modulated (PWM) inverter has offered a number of significant advantages over hydraulic systems and other inverter types for low and medium frequency applications. With the advent of the fast turn-off thyristors and advances in PWM modulator techniques, the PWM now offers distinct application advantages to 200 Hz. PWM design concepts are analyzed, with a comparison of different types of inverters are discussed.

Water has probably received more study and revealed less secrets than any other substance in history. Hundreds of volumes and thousands of articles have been written on the nearest substance to the universal solvent there is.

WOW! 914, 610, 914 mm. Does a sequence of numbers that size get your attention? Some young lady 36, 24, 36 inches would. These two sequences have only a basic difference: the first is metric and the second is the British system of measurements.

Hydraulics date back to the pyramids and Egyptians. It became popular during World War I and World War II, when it was mass produced for the military. What we will discuss today will be modern hydraulics, primarily hydraulics for the citrus industry.

Can the operating management of a citrus concentrate plant afford not to manage energy with the same determination and effort that is already devoted to that critical measuring stick — productivity.
