“…This technology can be applied to improve the properties of dry biomass (cotton, prosopis, and bagasse) by slow heating for 1 hour at temperatures 150-300 °C at atmospheric conditions. Torrefaction results uniform solids, low moisture content and higher energy content than raw biomass [25].…”

Bio-syngas from gasification of sugarcane bagasse is one of the most promising sources for renewable energy. As an agriculture-based biomass, sugarcane bagasse has a high content of moisture (46-52%), fibrous (43-52%) and low bulk density (80-120 kg/m 3 ). This quality of bagasse will tend to initiate agglomeration and cause de-fluidization. It will disturb the gasification process and finally will decrease yield and quality of syn-gas. Its chracteristics in low quality can be improved by pretreatment, i.e., torrefaction process, addressed by slow heating of biomass on wet or dry conditions on atmosphere pressure for 1 hour before it is used as feedstock gasification.This preliminary work features an experimental investigation of torrefaction process of Indonesian sugarcane cane bagasse. Temperature of torrefaction varies from 150, 175, 200, 225, 250 and 300 °C. For bagasse gasification process, the optimum temperature of dry torrefaction is 150 °C. At this temperature, yield of syngas will higher than other torrefaction temperature. Temperature of dry torrefaction will give energy saving opportunities than that's of wet torrefaction (180 °C, 1 hr).Analysis ultimate and proximate also indicate that sugarcane bagasse with temperature torrefaction 150 °C give better result than other torrefaction's temperature in high content of hydrogen and low content of carbon.

“…Torrefaction changes the properties of biomass from hydrophilic to hydrophobic due to which easy storage has been one of the acclaimed benefits of this method [5,6]. Hydrophobic traits appear in the dehydration reactions where the destruction of many hydroxyl groups and formation of unsaturated, non-polar structures take place [2].…”

“…En la región del magdalena medio (Sur del Cesar y Santander) tiene un rendimiento de 4 ton/ha y está asociado con la industria avícola [4]. La biomasa residual debida al bagazo de caña y a los residuos del maíz, que incluyen tusas, hojas e incluso maíz, tiene un gran potencial, para ser utilizados como fuentes de energía en remplazo de la madera o el carbón [5]. Sin embargo, el principal problema para el uso de los residuos de biomasa provenientes de los cultivos de la caña panelera y del maíz, es su alta humedad y baja densidad energética [6].…”

ResumenSe evaluó el contenido de azufre y el calor de combustión en bagazo de caña de azúcar destinada a la elaboración de panela de las variedades CC 85-57, CC 85-92, CC 85-47, CC 84-75, CC 86-45, RD 75 -11 y de mazorca en las variedades ICA V-109, ICA V-156, ICA V-304, ICA V-305 e ICA V-507, con contenidos de humedad de 0% (p/p), 10% (p/p), 20% (p/p), y 30% (p/p). Los resultados se analizaron con relación a las ventajas de utilizar las variedades con menor producción de azufre, mayor producción de residuos y que sean menos afectados por la humedad. Palabras claveAgroindustria, Calor de combustión, Contenido de azufre, Panela. AbstractHeat combustion and sulfur content of sugarcane bagasse for the manufacture of panela CC 85-57, CC 85-92 CC 85-47 CC 84-75 CC 86-45, RD varieties evaluated 75 -11 and corb waste in the varieties V ICA-109, ICA V-156, V-304 ICA ICA ICA V-305 and V-507, with a moisture content of 0% (w / w), 10 % (w / w), 20% (w / w) and 30% (w / w). The results are analyzed in relation to the benefits of using varieties with lower sulfur production, increased production of waste and to be less affected by moisture.
