Abstract (AB)An Engineering workshop was held from 7 -11 October 2002 in Berlin, Germany; 68 delegates from 12 countries attended the workshop on energy management in raw cane sugar factories. This paper attempts to provide a general overview of activities undertaken during that workshop, which consisted of three days of 12 technical sessions with presentations and discussion plus two days factory visits. Topics covered during the technical sessions included: energy conservation from cane yard to extraction plant, in the boiling house and in refineries, improvement of efficiency of boiler plant and turbo generator, improvement of calorific value of bagasse, the use of bagasse as well as alternative boiler fuels. Two sessions were devoted to the efficient utilisation of steam and electrical power. Topics on new technologies and processes for energy economy, equipment and control systems for energy management were also touched upon.
