Cogeneration Plant
Product feasibility report: Cogeneration Plant

I. INTRODUCTION

Product to be manufactured:

Cogeneration Plant For Sugar Mills:
Biomass is the most promising alternative fuel. Agro-waste and agro industrial products have today been recognized as ‘modern’ bio-mass material which can be converted directly into useful forms of energy. Bio-mass has the crucial advantage of being environment friendly. Bagasse is a captive bio-mass. In India, there are 478 sugar mills of varying crushing capacity ranging from a critical period because of over-production, low sugar price, low international market, etc., can enhance revenue by co-generation.

A Co-generation plant helps utilize the by-products bagasse and molasses to obtain ethanol and bio manure as well as help in the generation of electricity by converting the molasses into biofuel.

Uses & Application:
A cogeneration plant can be used to reduce the dependency of a sugar mill over Government Electricity supply to ensure a smooth and break-free functioning of their mills. It also helps in the cost-effectiveness of their setup as the cost incurred for electricity is reduced. Not only this, it helps with the disposal of their by-product and helps in reducing the carbon footprint.

It can be installed in any existing sugar mill. Depending on the amount of by-product generated per day, appropriate specified plants can be manufactured and installed into them

Consumers:

Our target consumers are those mills where molasses or bagasse is obtained as by-products. Hence, sugar cane, beet, etc. processing industries are prime candidates for such a cogeneration plant.

    The environmental impacts of farming practices can also be reduced with the adoption of sustainable production methods in the agricultural sector. Growing corn, wheat, rice, and sugarcane produces large amounts of agricultural wastes, some of which are burned, degrading air quality. In the production of cellulosic ethanol, the bulk of the biomass would become a valuable source of energy rather than a waste product. In fact, municipal solid waste (MSW) includes a large volume of cellulosic material that has the potential to be converted to ethanol.…

    Instead of growing corn based ethanol, which causes negative effects to our economy and to the environment, researchers have discovered a new product, "cellulosic ethanol." Cellulosic ethanol is formed from waste plant material (cellulose) through a process called “thermo-chemical conversion”. Cellulosic ethanol plants are underway and the future of ethanol energy is making huge advancements. Unlike corn based ethanol, cellulosic ethanol will be less harmful to the environment and more economically…
