	Burning Bagasse
		As previously stated, bagasse is the refuse of sugar cane from which the juice has been extracted, and from the beginnings of the sugar industry has been the natural fuel for sugar plantation power plants.
		Later a third grinding mill was introduced, and the maceration and dilution of of the bagasse were carried to a point where the last trace of sugar in the bagasse was practically eliminated.
		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.

	Sugar Cane (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
		The bagasse (or the crushed cane fibres), which results from the milling, is used in the boilers for steam production which is used to power the process.
		One potential use of bagasse is as a feedstuff for cattle, because the components of bagasse are in their natural, resistant conformation, susceptibility to enzymic hydrolysis is extremely limited.
		Bagasse & wood fibre are made into one of the most important particleboards in the building industry by a process similar to paper making.

		Since the bagasse fuel qualities vary, it is essential to evaluate the fuel and also to study the energy flow in a sugar plant before opting for gasification and/or combustion.
		Bagasse pith and sludge, waste products from the pulp mill, are also burned in the Siam Kraft plant, even though they have very high moisture content and low heating values (Tables 3 and 4).

		Typically, the mill uses a portion of the bagasse in a low efficiency steam cycle to produce the electricity and steam which it needs for its own use.
		Surplus bagasse is sometimes used for cattle feed or for paper-making but is often simply dumped or burnt.
		Bagasse is a major renewable fuel, which can be used to produce significant quantities of surplus electricity.

	Steam treated bagasse for fattening cattle
		The texture of the steam-treated bagasse was not noticeably improved by the treatment with anhydrous ammonia and, in general, there were no apparent changes in the steam-treated bagasse after this later chemical treatment.
		The samples analysed were raw bagasse, steam-treated bagasse and steam-ammonia-treated bagasse; cotton wool (almost pure cellulose) was used as a fourth sample to verify if the microbial ecosystem was optimal for the digestion of a fibrous feed resource.
		The sugar-cane bagasse when treated, in order to improve its degradability, is a potentially good resource to use as the basal diet in the feeding of cattle and ruminants in general.

		Bagasse energy development projects successfully attained the key objectives, which were to set up an investment plan, the institutional framework and the policies to encourage private investment in bagasse/coal power plants.
		Bagasse energy projects are linked with sugar factory modernisation in that boilers, turbo alternators and other energy efficient equipment represent a major proportion (up to 50%) of the cost of a sugar factory.
		The bagasse coal power development has multipurpose benefits in that it is associated with environmental advantages, offers a diversified alternative and secure source of power from locally available and renewable resource when compared to imported fuel oil and finally brings additional revenue to the cane sugar industry.

	Proposal for review Brazil
		Bagasse and trash gasification would require further analysis (beyond that required for woodchips in the WBP) on some specific issues: (a) The feeding of loose material; the high specific volume would make utilization of feeders tested for woodchips difficult; the problem might be considerably more important for pressurized systems.
		Biomass availability (bagasse and trash) was determined and biomass costs were taken to be at least the opportunity cost (whenever the reclaiming trash cost was higher, the higher value was considered).36.
		Bagasse and cane trash from sugarcane are essentially CO2-neutral energy sources, because the CO2 released in their use for energy is reabsorbed by new sugarcane growth.

		Moreover, it appeared that little or no ethanol introduced was consumed by the fungus which preferentially uses other sources of carbon, resulting from the bagasse (saccharose) or put in with the substrate (maltose, yeast extracts and so on).
		Retrieval of the laccase at the end of the cycle, after washing and pressing of the bagasse, allows additional quantities of the substrate to be processed and, in this way, raise the profitability of the operation.

		This bagasse application is especially simple compared to a full utilization of all components of the bagasse because the steam requirements can be drawn from the existing boilers and the bagasse, after glucose, fructose and xylose sugars are extracted, is passed on to the boilers with minimum loss of fuel value.
		120 tons per day of bagasse is a relatively small fraction of the bagasse output from a modern mill.
		Bagasse will cost $40/ton (75% of the bagasse will be returned to the mill for a credit at a rate of $30.00/ton).

	LITTER MANAGEMENT:
		Bagasse was investigated as a potential source of litter materials due to its availability at a low cost; it was compared to woodshavings and sawdust.
		It is easier to maintain the quality of sawdust than that of the mixture of woodshavings and bagasse as detected in the litter caking scores; however, the very low level of breast blisters in both treatments, does not enable a correlation to be established between litter caking scores and number and frequency of breast blisters.
		Bagasse appears to represent a potentially useful source of litter material for poultry growing as the physical and chemical differences between the three types of litter did not influence the performance of the birds significantly, nor was the carcass quality affected.

	Prospects for Using Sugar Cane Bagasse for the Cogeneration of Electricity in Barbados
		Traditionally, the sugar factory burned bagasse and its boilers produced steam for generating electricity used by the factory, and processing the sugar cane into sugar.
		Since bagasse is only available during the crop season for about four months per year, the co-gen plant has to use another fuel for the other eight months.
		In addition to the bagasse co-gen plant at Le Moule, the Guadeloupe archipelago also has wind turbines on Le Desirade and Marie Galante and a 4.8 MW geothermal plant at Bouillante on Basse Terre.

	Developing uses for sugar-cane bagasse: biotechnology applied to the paper industry
		Sugar-cane bagasse is a fibrous waste-product of the sugar refining industry, along with ethanol vapour.
		Part of the great volume of this waste produced is recycled as a raw material for paper manufacture, but the industrial processing required for delignification and bleaching of the resulting paper pulp can be damaging for the environment.
		The process is based on the metabolism of a filamentous fungus which, when raised in culture on bagasse in the presence of ethanol, produces this enzyme.

	Green Car Congress: Researchers to Evaluate Feasibility of Cellulosic Ethanol from Sugarcane Bagasse
		Bagasse is an abundant Florida biomass by-product of sugar extraction from sugarcane.
		Over a million tons of bagasse (dry basis) are annually produced by the Florida Sugar Industry and used as boiler fuel for steam and power cogeneration.
		Although several pretreatment processes have been developed to date, none has been optimized for sugarcane bagasse because this feedstock, although abundant in Florida, is not as common in most of the country.

	FASC - KDS Micronex - Applications
		Bagasse is the name given to the crushed sugarcane after the cane juice is removed from it.
		However, burning bagasse in its wet state significantly lowers the efficiency of the boilers used to raise steam.
		This is lower than the latent heat of water, because the KDS uses mechanical forces to dewater bagasse.

		Bagasse is the fuel used almost exclusively to fire the boilers in the sugar industry.
		Bagasse may contain various amounts of sand or soil, especially in wet harvesting conditions, and may also vary in moisture content, depending upon the harvesting conditions and the conditions of the milling train.
		Sufficient bagasse is stored to fire the boilers to get the plant ready for crushing, and for use later in supplementing the bagasse coming from the crushing process.

	Bagasse Cogen Could Meet 7% Of Power Demand, Cogeneration and On-Site Power Production - July 01, 2004
		Bagasse cogeneration describes the use of fibrous sugarcane waste - bagasse - to cogenerate heat and electricity on-site at high efficiency in sugar mills.
		The critical condition for the full exploitation of this major opportunity is that mill owners should be able to secure competitive rates for the electricity they supply to the grid, or to other power consumers.
		The output of electricity from bagasse cogeneration plants is fundamentally dependent on the prevailing electricity market rules - inadequate buyback prices currently paid to mill owners by the utility company create a substantial disincentive to size cogeneration plants to meet the mill's heat demand.
