Efficient bio-fuel projects
October 2009
News
The Bosch Projects energy business unit provides efficient solutions for bio-fuels projects, co-generation, energy optimisation, ethanol distilleries and energy from waste, as well as feasibility studies and process engineering.
These processes are designed to be cost effective, using versatile ‘Energy and Mass Balance’ software that optimises plant efficiencies; equipment selection and configuration; co-generation of renewable electricity into the national power grid; cleaner air emissions using advanced scrubber technology and reduced carbon footprint, as well as sustainable energy production and job creation.
“Sugar cane is one of the most efficient photosynthesisers in the plant kingdom making it an ideal feedstock for a range of bio-energy products. In addition to this, sugar cane has the ingredients required for further processing for fuel and water,” says Butch Carr, business manager: energy, Bosch Projects. “Our company uses advanced technology for the production of raw and refined sugar from sugar cane; bio-ethanol from sugar, molasses or sugar cane juice; steam and electricity from bagasse (sugar cane biomass) and bio-methane from anaerobic digestion of vinasse for steam or electricity.”
The company has been involved in renewable energy projects, offering services that range from feasibility and consulting studies, to large construction and upgrade projects. These specialist services also include equipment supply and commissioning.
Bosch Projects integrates engineering and technology to provide multidisciplinary solutions, from concept to conclusion, in sectors that include the sugar industry, power utilities and materials handling, as well as commercial and industrial operations.
