HOW TO MAKE SUGARCANE BAGASSE PELLETS What is Sugarcane Bagasse? Bagassse is a tree-free, renewable resource made from sugarcane fiber left after juice is extracted. A typical chemical analysis on a washed and dried basis of bagasse might be: Cellulose 45–55% Hemicellulose 20–25% Lignin 18–24% Ash 1–4% Waxes <1% sugar-cane-bagasse Why Use Sugarcane Bagasse Pellets? There are a lot of sugar factories in southeast Asia, plenty of sugarcane are produced after being extracted. For each 10 tonnes of sugarcane crushed, a sugar factory produces nearly 3 tonnes of wet bagasse. Most of the factories have no idea with how to deal with the material, massive waste materials take space of the plant. Few factories burn the bagasse fiber as fuel, when burned in quantity, it produces sufficient heat energy to supply all the needs of a typical sugar factory. The rest of the bagasse can be processed to biomass pellets and exported to other countries as fuel, which bring the fa...
