Application Research of Bagasse Drying by Boiler Flue Gas

Bagasse,a by-product of sugar production,is a renewable biomass fuel.The moisture content of bagasse is commonly about 48% produced by the squeezer of cane sugar factory,and the corresponding low calorific value is about 8100 kJ/kg,dried bagasse moisture content is below 40%(low calorific value higher than 9738 kJ/kg),increased by more than 20% thermal efficiency as boiler fuel.In this research,the production technology and practice experience of drying bagasse by boiler flue gas was introduced,and a few problems existed during the using of bagasse rotary-drum drier and the relevant improvement measures were also discussed.
