| Simulations of steam balances were carried out for two cane throughputs (150 TCH and 275 TCH) for various fiber per centage cane values in the range of 11 to 18 per cent and for various imbibitions per cent fiber values (150 to 350) to determine the amount of electricity that could be exported for each scenario. A regression equation was established relating pol per cent bagasse and imbibition per cent fiber. The combined income from sale of surplus electricity and additional sugar extracted was calculated and plotted against fiber per cent cane for each imbibition rate and for each throughput. This simulation indicated that under the conditions of thermal efficiency which had been assumed, there would be a financial advantage in operating the factory at a lower imbibition rate for fiber per cent cane values higher that 14 per cent. However, at a given fiber per cent cane below 14 per cent, it would be more profitable to increase the imbibition rate. | |
