“…Data derived from empirical studies and literature have been adopted to develop the simulation [14,18,24,41,42]. The coefficients a, b and c used to perform the evolution of the conversion rates of each compound are obtained by comparison among empirical and literature results and are listed in Table 3.…”

“…Proceedings of the 5 th African International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Lusaka, Zambia, April 4-6, 2023 © IEOM Society International Gasification of bagasse produces synthesis gas (syngas) and some smaller capacity of environmental contamination. Heat produced during gasification can be employed for steam production , and a gaseous fuel from the direct biomass combustion can be used as a fuel and can also be upgraded to biomethane (Figueroa et al, 2012). Bagasse is a suitable material for gasification because it has low ash content and has high content of volatile matter.…”

Sugarcane bagasse is a by-product milling sugarcane and it is an important fuel resource for the sugar industry. Bagasse is a fibrous, has low density material and has a wide range of particle sizes with high moisture content. Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) is among the most abundant agricultural residues globally in sugar producing countries. Bagasse is mainly used as a fuel for cogeneration by the sugar factories, but has other applications like ethanol production, paper and pulp manufacture, biogas production and charcoal briquettes manufacture. The falling electricity prices and reducing global sugar prices due to excess sugar stock in the world market have made bagasse a very attractive fuel for grid-based electricity generation and supply making it a feasible diversification pathway for sugar factories. This study identifies the various physical, chemical, and thermodynamic properties of bagasse and sugar cane trash as fuels in the sustainable energy transition. The study recommends various policy initiatives to promote the use of bagasse and cane trash as a fuel particularly in heat and power generation. Proposed measures include attractive feed in tariffs for cogenerated heat and power, tax incentives and measures to encourage investment, and a flexible power purchase agreement that recognizes the unique challenges facing the sugarcane manufacturing like unsteady supply of cane and hence inconsistent milling and fuel supply. Bagasse has various pathways for exploitation as an energy resource i.e., direct combustion in boilers to produce heat for steam and power generation, anaerobic digestion to produce biogas and pyrolysis and gasification to produce syngas. Syngas and biogas can further be upgraded to produce biomethane which has significant energy and process applications as a substitute of natural gas. Bagasse has got three e major components, namely pith, fiber, and rind,

“…al. [13,160] used air as a gasifying agent and/or sand as a bed, and Baker et al [161] used catalytic beds that were unfeasible for large-scale processes. Therefore, experimental works on miscanthus have also been reviewed as this biomass source presents similar proximate and ultimate analyses as sugarcane bagasse, as further shown in Table 3.3.…”

“…2 summarizes experimental gasification studies in bubbling and circulating fluidized beds using sugarcane bagasse or biomass sources with similar proximate and ultimate analyses. According to Table3.2, four different studies[13,14,160,161] conducted experiments on sugarcane bagasse gasification in bubbling fluidized bed gasifiers. However, all works applied inappropriate conditions for synthesis applications: Sahoo et al[14] andFigueroa et …”
