The sugar industry is an ideal sector for electricity cogeneration due to a large amount of burnable bagasse produce as a by-product. Bagasse produced in the sugar industry always consists of moisture affecting the efficiency of a boiler in the cogeneration plant. In our case study, a cogeneration plant run by bagasse burning found with bagasse moisture problem and suffocating with low power generation for the last few years. The boiler efficiency per tonne of bagasse is currently lower than optimal due to the substantial percentage of water present in the bagasse. A bagasse dryer design for this industry can improve the efficiency of a boiler as well as the cogeneration plant. In this paper, a pneumatic bagasse drying system is proposed to reduce the moisture content of bagasse from 48% to 30%. This work provides a full analysis of bagasse dryer design parameters, including specifications for dryer system components, such as feeders, fan, drying tube, and cyclone. The total bagasse drying system proposed is expected to be fitted within a 6 × 6 × 25 m space to dry 60 tph of bagasse, reducing the moisture content from 48% to 30%, in full compliance with all relevant Australian and company standards.
La industria azucarera es un sector ideal para la cogeneración eléctrica debido a la gran cantidad de bagazo que se produce como subproducto. El bagazo producido en la industria azucarera siempre consiste en humedad que afecta la eficiencia de una caldera en la planta de cogeneración. En nuestro caso de estudio, una planta de cogeneración operada por la quema de bagazo se encontró con un problema de humedad del bagazo y asfixiada con baja generación de energía durante los últimos años. La eficiencia de la caldera por tonelada de bagazo es actualmente inferior a la óptima debido al porcentaje sustancial de agua presente en el bagazo. Un diseño de secador de bagazo para esta industria puede mejorar la eficiencia de una caldera y de la planta de cogeneración. En este trabajo, se propone un sistema de secado neumático de bagazo para reducir el contenido de humedad del bagazo del 48% al 30%. Este trabajo proporciona un análisis completo de los parámetros de diseño del secador de bagazo, incluidas las especificaciones de los componentes del sistema del secador, como alimentadores, ventiladores, tubos de secado y ciclones. Se espera que el sistema de secado total de bagazo propuesto se instale en un espacio de 6 × 6 × 25 m para secar 60 tph de bagazo, reduciendo el contenido de humedad del 48% al 30%, en total cumplimiento con todas las normas relevantes de Australia y de la empresa.
