Integration of a Sugar mill, an Ethanol Distillery and a Single Cell Protein Plant Energetically
Author(s): Oscar Almazán del Olmo* and Indira Pérez Bermúdez
This paper reported an analysis for an energy integration of a Sugar Mill of a milling capacity of 6900 t/d of cane, an alcohol distillery of 500 Hl/d and a Single Cell Protein plant of 10 t/d is performed becoming a Bio refinery complex. All based on an option in which sugar mill supplies steam and electricity to satisfy needs of each plant during season and ensuring- at this time–enough surplus bagasse and straw, to cogenerate and satisfy steam and electricity demands of annexed plants in off season period. This way it was proven that a sugar mill could satisfy energy demands of these plants and also deliver 6,85 MW-h to national grid during milling season. In addition, 1054 t/d of surplus bagasse was obtained, that together with collected straw from cane harvesting , guaranty complex energy demand, for operating 100 days in off season , at designed production levels of all in..
