2.22.2 BAGASSE
Bagasse is a fibrous material containing mainly cellulose material and therefore it can be used as a raw material in the manufacture of pulp and paper. The
bagasses with 50% moisture is a combustible material with the heating value of about 2270 Kcal/kg and is used as a fuel in boiler for generation of high pressure steam. The steam in turn is used for generation of electric power and by extraction process. Low pressure steam for sugar process in the Boiling House.
2.22.3 PRESS MUD
Press mud contains fibrous material and crop nutrients such as phosphorous And potassium therefore it is disposed to farmers for use in agricultural land. The press mud is also composted along with other nutrients. The composted press mud is a bio manure containing fortified plant nutrients such as potassium, phosphorous and nitrogen and vegetative matter. Press mud is also used for manufacturing Bio composted manure with. Distillery Effluent.
2.22.4 MOLASSES
Molasses contains large percentage of crystallizable sugar and is a valuable source of raw material for manufacture of ethyl alcohol and other downstream products such as oxalic acid, lactic acid etc. Molasses is also used as nutrient/protein additive in manufacture of cattle feed. In the present industry the molasses is sold to distilleries or cattle feed units.
2.22.5 BOILER ASH
Boiler ash contains silica and other metal oxides. It is a nontoxic material. It is disposed to farmers as soil conditioner for agricultural land. It can also be used for land filling. It is also used along with the agro wastes for composting and production of fortified green manure. It is also used in manufacturing the bricks and in cement manufacture.
2.22.6 EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT ( ETP ) SLUDGE
Production of dry sludge from ETP is about 100 Kg per day. It is a non-toxic material containing mainly organic material and mineral nutrients. It is disposed along with press mud for use as manure to the farmers.
2.23 NOSE (SOURCE AND CONTROL)
Noise is described as an unwanted sound. Noise exposure affects a human being in many ways depending upon the intensity of noise, it frequency and exposure duration. Exposure to excessive noise produces varying degree of
