Energy Potential of Sugar-Mill Byproduct Press-Mud Through Pyrolysis Process
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 5
Abstract
Press-mud is the sugar industry left-over produced from the filtration of the sugar cane juice during the production of sugar. At present, it is a good source of fertilizer and utilized in soil quality enhancement in India. Press-mud as per composition contains higher percentage of combustibles that can be the good source of renewable energy and viable for economic growth of the sugar plant. A detailed study has been carried out to pyrolyze the Press-mud to acquire the fuel gases potential for energy generation. This study is focused on the modelling, simulation and performance analysis of Press-mud pyrolysis process using Aspen Plus Simulation software. The proximate and ultimate analysis has been carried out followed by simulation of pyrolysis process. The various parameters i.e. pyrolysis temperature, heating rate etc. have been discussed for Press-mud as a feedstock
