| Dr. Wright's research and consultation in the raw sugar milling area has included many consultation reports for raw sugar factories and many technical publications for SRI Membership, over 60 papers to Australian Society of Sugar Cane Technologists (ASSCT), three of these being awarded the prestigious President's Medal.
His recent interests include modeling of factory options for ethanol production from sugar cane.
In recent years ProSuTech has carried out factory process audits and advisory consultations in Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and India. Other consultations have been carried out recently in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Ecuador under the auspices of the CAA Associates Group, based in Nicaragua. |
