Dear AD One very simple explanation for not drying the bagasse partially is that they have a gross excess of it, and it is a disposal problem. Drying it would cost money, improve efficiency, and result in a bigger waste bagasse pile.

Would anyone explain why they do not use dryer bagasse containing less moisture? Is it possible, that the water vapour in the bagasse reacts with the charred biomass to produce producer gas, thus adding to the fuel value of the biomass?

I posted the question in respect of those opinions given ( I don't have the band with to do the research right now myself) I do concur with your colleagues on their opinion the simplest is often the best. Thank you for the insight. Henri Naths Sent from my iPhone On Feb 21, 2011, at 6:31 AM, Anand Karve <[email protected]> wrote: Dear Naths, I am not an expert on engines of any kind.
