Bagasse Fired Biomass Boiler

Details Introduction about Bagasse Fired Biomass Boiler

When burned by a sugar mill, bagasse, the fibrous material leftover after juice is extracted from sugarcane, usually produces enough electricity to power all of the mill’s operations and then some. For every 10 metric tons of sugarcane crushed, a sugar factory produces nearly 3 metric tons of wet bagasse.

Many mills across the globe that take advantage of bagasse for power are making improvements to their plants to make the whole process more efficient. Mackay Sugar in Australia—the largest producer of sugar on the continent—is currently constructing a $120 million cogeneration power plant at its Racecourse Mill in Queensland that when complete in 2012 will be able to provide about one-third of the Mackay city region’s electricity requirements.

In more recently built sugar mills, bagasse is burned in chain grate boilers. Bagasse fed to these boilers enters the furnace through a fuel chute and is spread pneumatically or mechanically across the furnace, where part of the fuel burns while in suspension. Simultaneously, large pieces of fuel are spread in a thin, even bed on a stationary or moving grate. The flame over the grate radiates heat back to the fuel to aid combustion. The combustion area of the furnace is lined with heat exchange tubes (waterwalls).

The advantages of bagasse fired biomass boiler:

1.Suitable for Cogeneration(CHP) and Captive Power

2.Multi-Fuel Firing

3.Commissioned more than 270 Boilers worldwide.

4.Single / Bi-Drum Boiler Options.

5.State of the art Technology, Quality and Fuel Flexibility.
