Operating data obtained from two factories were used to test the validity of the Hugot formula which quantifies mill extraction at various imbibitions per cent fibre for a constant cane crushing rate. Simulations were carried out through an energy balance to determine electricity production at different imbibition per cent fibre. The net and combined revenues obtained from sugar extraction and electricity production were determined and plotted against imbibition per cent fibre. Results show that for each factory there is an optimum imbibition per cent fibre that yields maximum revenue. | |
