Have a look at www.nariphaltan.org/Gasifier.pdf

Carbonizing sugarcane trash is wasteful energy wise and also pollutes the
environment.

All the best.

> Hello and first of all thank you for taking the time to read this!
>
> I am working with a small non-profit entreprise in Pondicherry on my
> Masters in Mechanical Engineering dissertation which is on the Production of
> Briquettes from Sugar Cane Waste. I was looking to see if anyone/groups who
> had previously worked with such or similar projects, specifically on
> small-scale, could give me any tips or any results from their experiments to
> look at.  So far I have spent 1 month doing fieldwork and after chasing up
> sugar cane factories for several weeks I finally got my hands on a bag of
> bagasse; and found that without processing it is very difficult to form
> briquettes with (I had read that some briquette manufacturers had had
> problems with this, but there is very limited information on this). Further
> to this, the organisation I am working with is Prakti Design (
> ww.praktidesign.com) and they would prefer to make non-carbonised
> briquettes, and the majority of information on bagasse briquettes is on
> carbonised briquettes.
>
> If anyone could give me any advice, for example if they have found a cheap
> way to manipulate the bagasse before making briquettes which improves the
> quality of the finished product, that would be fantastic. I am currently
> investigating with other substances, and bagasse has proved to be more
> expensive than thought, but any personal data from studies would be
> beneficial, particularly as I cannot do any more field work now until
> January if I am lucky, and if not, until April. If anyone has any advice on
> designing presses to make such briquettes that would also be beneficial, I
> have found lots of models on the internet but I really need to analyse the
> designs out there before designing my own, and so need more in-depth
> information.

> Thanks very much in advance for any help you can be!
