Characterization of gas ashes from sugar-mill chimneys in Tucumán, Argentina
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025During the sugarcane milling process, bagasse is separated and burnt in boilers for steam generation. The incineration generates a residue known as bagasse ash, consisting of two fractions: bottom ash, which settles at the bottom of the boilers, and fly ash, which is carried away by the gases released into the atmosphere through the chimney after the particles are filtered out with gas scrubbers.
Coffee husk as an alternative biofuel for bagasse-fired boilers
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025This study was developed due to the need to find an alternative fuel to supply the growing demand for steam in new processes of the Ingenio Risaralda mill. Coffee husk is obtained from the farms in the region where coffee is processed and arrives at the mill in trucks in loads of 10 t and is unloaded into the feed hoppers.
DataCane by Cenicaña: optimization of efficiency and maintenance in sugarcane mills through Industry 4.0
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025To address the need to maintain and increase efficiency, as well as to make informed decisions in the sugarcane agro-industrial sector, which are essential for maintaining competitiveness and sustainability, Cenicaña developed DataCane.
Developments in wastewater treatment and reuse in the sugar industry: drivers, challenges and implications
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Water is a finite and valuable resource with great significance for the sustainability of the sugar industry. Increasing water scarcity, stringent environmental regulations, and stakeholder awareness have put pressure on the industry to reduce its water usage and avoid contamination of existing water resources through the release of effluents.
Direct and indirect effects of climate change on sugar quality and storage stability: the case of the Brazilian 2024/25 season
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025In the 2024/2025 sugarcane season in Brazil faced extreme weather events, including droughts and heatwaves, which significantly impacted sugarcane yield and quality. While yield reductions due to climate variability are well-documented, their effects on sugar quality and storage remain underexplored.
Direct cane analysis: a comparison of the hydraulic press and wet disintegration methods
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025In Colombia’s sugarcane agroindustrial sector, there are two main methods for evaluating cane quality in terms of sucrose, Brix, fibre, and moisture; extraction by wet disintegration, recognized as the official method by the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis (ICUMSA), and the hydraulic press extraction method, which ICUMSA granted a tentative status in 2022 and an Official (Reference) status in 2024
Efficient sugar production with simultaneous diversion of process intermediates for ethanol production
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The Indian Sugar Industry has struggled for a long time but has realized that only diversification can lead to a sustainable sugar industry. It is important to create a sugar supply-demand balance, enrich the product portfolio through production of sugars of qualities required by different sectors, and utilize the by-products for production of green and renewable energy.
Enhancing efficiency in the sugar industry: the role of mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) technology in optimizing energy consumption
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Energy efficiency involves reducing the amount of energy consumed to achieve the same outcome. Mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) has long been recognized as a key technology for reducing primary energy consumption, by using electrical power, in steam-reliant processes across various industries.
Evaluation of autofiltration equipment for polarimetric analysis
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Polarimetry still serves as a key method in the sugar industry for assessing the apparent sugar content in various sugarcane and sugar beet products. To obtain accurate measurements, sugarcane factory materials have to undergo a crucial preparatory step involving clarification with a clarification aid, which is time-consuming. Furthermore, increasing the amounts of clarification aids can negatively impact pol readings.
Evaluation of fibrous sorghum for as an alternative fuel in bagasse boilers in Tucumán, Argentina
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025To evaluate fibrous sorghum as a potential alternative fuel in bagasse boilers and compare it with other biomass types, 15 samples of a commercial Silero-type hybrid (high fiber), 15 samples of bagasse from sugar mills, and 15 samples of RAC (agricultural harvest residue) were analyzed.
