Sugar factories

Energy used in sugar factories has two forms. Form 1 is steam, which is thermal energy in the form of steam and hot water produced by boilers. Steam energy is used in the production process from sugarcane crushing, including the preparation of sugarcane before crushing, driving the crushing set, and clarifying cane juice using steam through heat exchangers, and boiling syrup. Form 2 is electrical energy produced by using steam to drive turbines and generators. This section discusses steam energy in sugar factories, electricity production in sugar factories, and the classification of sugar factories based on steam and electricity production. Steam in sugar factories: Producing steam for use as energy in sugar factories is essential for all factories to prioritize. The main equipment involved in steam production is the boiler, steam distribution system, and control system. It is well known that sugar factories use bagasse as fuel for steam production, and the amount of bagasse is sufficient to produce steam in the factory throughout the entire sugar production season. With current technology and appropriate maintenance through consistent energy conservation, the use of bagasse for steam production has increased, allowing electricity to be produced for use outside the crushing season and sufficient for sale to external electricity users or sold back to the electricity company. In sugar production, good steam (Live Steam) with a pressure of 20-30 bar and a temperature of approximately 350-370 degrees Celsius is required to supply prime movers, including steam turbines to produce power for driving cane knives and rollers. After being used in prime movers...
