Emission reduction and fuel-saving potentials in jaggery industry via cleaner combustion

The unrefined (brown) sugar (jaggery) is a traditional sweetener that prepared by removing water from the sugarcane juice through continuous heating and stirring process sun-dried bagasse, which by-product in this consumed as fuel. jaggery plant being seasonal rural industry using an open-hearth furnace, having very poor thermal performance combustion characteristics, leads to huge emission of harmful pollutants. Among different pollutants are released into environment, most impactful elements human health fine ultrafine particulate matters (PM2.5, matter with aerodynamic diameter 2.5 micrometers lesser) carbon monoxide. Besides, lower consumption higher amounts fuel larger quantities dioxide (CO2), greenhouse gas (GHG) potential global warming pollutant. An experimental study laboratory on recently developed device exhibits emissions could be reduced drastically, namely PM2.5 95–99%, CO 92–97% CO2 52–66%, while reducing ~35% bagasse generate annual additional revenue about USD 0.735–1.26 billion entrepreneurs. Implemented at national scale, it correspond reduction nearly 3% all country, equally applicable elsewhere.Highlights: Jaggery suffering performance, characteristics.The drastically such as, ?97%, ?94%, ?60%, respectively.Using newly designed experimented biomass combustion, was found more than 35%, income 1.2 annually, for intreperneurs.At other countries region.The can play crucial role generating employment increasing farmers' country.
