- The manufacture of
sugar generates large quantities of biomass waste such as rice husk,
bamboo dust, bagasse, coconut coir, jute and sticks. This waste is
ideal for use as fuel togenerate power.
- Press mud, which is
discarded as a solid waste from sugar mills and used as a manure or as a
landfill, is found to be an useful substrate for biogas
production.
- Two types of solid
wastes are produced during the manufacture of sugar. Bagasse is produced
in the mill house in a quantity of about
30% of the crushed cane.
The bagasse contains 50% moisture. Press mud or filter cake is produced
in vacuum filters and press filters. The mud is produced in a
range of 3-8 % of the crushed cane, depending on the nature of sugar
manufacturing process.
- Sugar cane straw
wastes can be recycled as active additions once calcined in the
temperature range of 800 or 1000 C.
- Chromatographic
methods are also used in sugar production processes (e.g.: green syrup
and molasses) to reduce the nonsugars and to increase the quantity
of crystallisable sugar. The waste water from sugar treatment plants is
normally subjected to extended
aeration in ponds and is ultimately
made to undergo intensive biological oxidation.
- As the world’s
largest sugar producer, Brazil has the potential to be a market for
bagasse-based power generation worth $24B, yet less than 10% of this
opportunity is currently being fulfilled.
- Sugar cane now
provides 13 per cent of Brazil’s energy, replacing fossil fuels with
ethanol for transport and bagasse (waste pulp) for heat and power. It
supplies: 180,000 barrels a day of ethanol, 400 per cent of all the
gasoline used in the country.
- A large increase in
the sugar production of the West Indies carries with it the important
problem of the efficient disposal of the byproducts of the sugar
factory. 'These are filter-press mud, bagasse (the fibre of the cane)
and molasses.
