Juan H. Sosa-Arnao, Jefferson Luiz Gomes Corrêa, Maria A. Silva, Silvia Azucena Nebra

Abstract

Sugar cane bagasse is the only fuel used in the sugar-alcohol industry in Brazil, the world's leading sugar cane producer. The sugar-alcohol industry produces cogenerated electrical energy for its own consumption and the surplus is sold to the market. Improving the use of bagasse in furnaces is currently an important industrial strategy. The topic has aroused great interest due to an increase in the cogeneration level in recent years. This work reviews the state of the art of sugar cane bagasse drying.
