Evaluation of pollutant emissions from sugar mills in Camagüey
Journal Title: Monteverdia - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
The objective of this work is to estimate, through emission factors, the atmospheric pollutants (SO2, NOx and particulate matter) emitted by the sugarcane boilers of Camagüey, Cuba. As a result, lower emission values were obtained than those of thermoelectric and generator sets but several orders higher than those of conventional steam generators that use hydrocarbons as fuel. The verification of the emissions with the Maximum Allowable Emissions of the NC / TS 803: 2010, for the category of existing sources showed that for the particulate matter (PM) and the NOx of all the chimneys the legal maximums are exceeded. However, for SO2 none of the emissions exceeds the set value. Therefore, the introduction of bioelectric plants with bagasse as a fuel is proposed to contribute to the reduction of atmospheric pollution.
