ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT & EFFICIENCY MEASURES OF BAGASSE FIRED BOILERS, EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATIONS AT FARAN SUGAR MILLS

Abstract

Faran Sugar Mills commissioned during 1983 with two bagassefired boilers (FCB design) having initial evaporation capacity of 34 TPH at 24Kg/cm2 , 3300 C working parameters. Initially both boilers supplied with economizers as sole heat recovery equipment without air-heater and ash collecting arrangement. Later on, in order to meets the enhanced crushing capacity, induction of other boilers as 50 TPH (Yoshimine) and Takuma 80 TPH has been added in the battery towards the end of 2006. In order to attain rated generation and efficiency, a road map was planned in 2009 to implement phase-wise efforts to enhance capacity within the existing design setup. Certain modifications/ implementations were therefore carried out in the areas as follows, Modification in boiler # 1 (FCB design under taken.
