Abstract
LIANO ABASCAL, Norlem; PADRON DELGADO, Adonis Camilo; PEREZ COLAS, Misdelki and GONZALEZ SUAREZ, Erenio. Technological alternatives for pelletizing of sugarcane bagasse as a form of chain production. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2023, vol.15, n.4, pp. 111-119. Epub Aug 10, 2023. ISSN 2218-3620.
The process of compacting agro-industrial waste is currently an appropriate form of storage and distribution. Sugarcane bagasse, despite its varied use, is one of the wastes that can be compacted and used as an alternative raw material for the Cuban bioelectric plant. It has not been observed in Cuba that there is a plant for pelletizing at the industrial level, which could contribute to the productive chain between the Sugar Companies of the eastern central territory and the Bioelectric. The objective of this work is to analyze technological alternatives, for the production of pellets from sugarcane bagasse, using the SuperPro Designer simulator, so that it allows the selection of an economically feasible variant, as a form of productive chain. For this selection, the indicators will be used: NPV, IRR and PBT.
