Introduction
Cogeneration

is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat energy strictly refers to an energy recovery system

Is

The

technology has mostly been practiced in sugar Factories factory utilize Baggasse

Sugar

to generate heat for process and Power for crushing, milling and power generation

Introduction cont
Baggasse Cogeneration
Cogeneration

based on burning of Baggasse

one of the best renewable based Cogeneration technology

The

advantages of bagasse as a fuel for cogeneration are numerous ranging from:

environmental - social and economic aims of sustainable development

3

Sugarcane Processing Industry

Sugarcane

is currently grown under a wide range of

conditions

 in tropical and sub-tropical regions

water

requirements for the crop are 1.2-1.6 m3/year and to supply

good distribution of rainfall or Irrigation facility is needed

harvesting

generally occurs every 9-14 months, depending on crop variety

4

Sugar Production
is

very energy-intensive requiring inputs of both heat and power at many stages

 Energy demand per tonne of sugar cane crushed

Milling efficiency Steam requirement Electricity Low-to-high 500kg 150Kwh (low) and 34.5Kwh(high)

Sugar

mills produce a range of by-products

Bagasse  filter mud and Molasses

5

Sugar production cont

Sugar

factory with a crushing capacity of 3,000 tones per day can produce: 345 tonnes of sugar 6,000 litres of alcohol  3 tonnes of yeast  15 tonnes of potash fertilizer 25 tonnes of pulp 15 tonnes of wax  150 tonnes of press-mud fertilizer and 240MWh of exportable electricity from bagasse on year bases
6

Baggasse: by product of SF
is

the fibrous residue of cane stalk obtained after

crushing and the extraction of juice

One

tonne of sugarcane can yield 250kg of bagasse of bagasse varies with

composition

Variety maturity of sugarcane efficiency of milling process

Baggasse cont


In the sugar industry, bagasse is usually combusted in also used as the raw material for production of paper

furnaces
is

and as feedstock for cattle



Other uses

biodegradable plastics (that break down in

water and CO2 within six months)

 petrochemicals involved in manufacturing of

adhesives, synthetic fibers, herbicides and insecticides

Baggasse cont
The value of bagasse as a fuel depends on

 calorific value,  crop verity and  Composition

One tonne of sugar has an energy potential equivalent to that of 1.2 barrels of petroleum About one third of the bagasse produced in a mill can provide enough steam and electricity for the mills requirements

Benefits of Cogeneration from Bagasse



From a financial point of view, a classic win-win

for the sugar industry

combines

low cost, efficient and social benefits

with the provision of clean, renewable energy. Benefits can be categorized as

Economic Social and Environmental
13

Benefits cont
Economic
Fuel

cost and resource utilization efficiency :nearzero fuel costs, paid in local currency and valuation of bagasse as a waste product diversity and security of electricity supply

Increasing Location

at the point of energy demand, leading to minimal transmission and distribution (T&D) costs.
14

Benefit Cont Social benefit

 Greater employment for local populations  More widespread availability of electricity  More secure and reliable supply of electricity for existing consumers

15

Benefits Cont
Environmental
Low

emission of particulates, SO2, NOx and CO2 compared to coal and other fossil fuels In GHG terms, bagasse combustion emits less than composting. efficiency

Fuel

The same amount of bagasse will yield more power in cogeneration mode than in conventional combustion processes
