Process Design For Optimum Energy Efficiency - sasta

INTRODUCTION
• Traditional steam % cane values ranged
between 55 and 60%
• The current energy focus has lowered the target
values. The achievable lower limit is currently
estimated to be :
– Reid & Rein (1983) – 37%
– Singh et al. (1997) – 49% (with back-end refinery)
– Broadfoot (2001) – 33%
– Reid (2006) – 35%
– Sharma & Peacock (2008) – 38%
