A modern cogeneration power plant in an established sugar mill

This paper the equipments and requirements of a new modern cogeneration power plant and/or when converting an existing seasonal bagasse-fired cogeneration plant to all-year-round power production and export in an established sugar mill. For the purpose of th is paper, we will use the Rocky Point Sugar Mill Cogeneration Project as the background of the presentation. Previously, the power cycles used in most sugar mills used relatively low-pressure steam and did not produce high overall efficiencies. Now that the export of power is an important criterion, it is necessary that the overall efficiencies be increased by up to 25% over those units designed for bagasse incineration. The Roch Point Sugar Mill Cogeneration Project has been designed to meet this challenge.
