Molasses is the
by-product separated from 'C' grade sugar during the
centrifuging of sugar crystals. The yield of molasses per
ton of cane is in the range of 4 to 4.5%. The entire
quantum of molasses produced is being used for captive
consumption in our distilleries.
Bagasse is the
fibrous residue from the sugar cane after extracting cane
juice. We produce Steam and Power by using bagasse as fuel
for the high pressure boilers in the Cogeneration power
plants.
Press mud, the
solid waste produced while processing sugar cane is rich
in potassium, sodium, phosphorous and organic matters.
Press mud is also a base material for producing bio-earth
which is done by composting with spentwash, a liquid-
waste generated out of distillery operation.
