Abstract:Separation of extraneous matter (EM) from sugarcane stalks to prevent yield losses during extraction, detrimental impacts on sugar manufacture, and to provide separated extraneous matter (SEM) for energy generation in mills requires an effective dry cleaning system (DCS). This study evaluated different types of DCS operating in Brazilian sugar-energy plants, located in the states of São Paulo (SP) and Goiás (GO), using a standard methodology. The separation efficiency of leafy extraneous matter (LEM), i.e., br… Show more
