SUGAR INDUSTRY
Production of final molasses-based alcohol. It comprises:
Installation of distillation systems for production of extra-fine alcohol
in existing distilleries with capacity of 500 Hl/day, or in Ports receiving distilled
crude alcohol from tributary Distilleries.
Rehabilitation and modernization of existing distilleries (500-800 Hl/day.
New distillery with capacity of 800 Hl/day for the production of
export-oriented fine and extrafine alcohol.
Expansion and modernization of existing facilities for production of rum
and other alcoholic beverages.
Production of bagasse-based agglomerate boards in existing factories in
Ciego de Ávila, Las Tunas and Havana provinces.
Production of
bagasse-based MDF boards.
Production of cement-agglomerate bagasse-based boards.
Production of technical dextran (industrial use)
and its by-products in Matanzas Province.
Production of furfural-based alcohol in a brand-new
plant in Camagüey Province.
Production of glucose and sorbitol in Villa Clara and Camagüey Provinces.
Electricity co-generation
projects:
New thermal power station (25-50 Mw). It consists in the elimination of the
existing energy block of the sugar factory and the creation of an independent block of
high efficiency and operation parameters. This unit will receive all biomass from the
sugar mill which, in return, will receive low-pressure steam and electricity. Most of the
generated electricity would be marketed in the national network.
New turbo-generator (5-10 Mw).
In this case, the idea is to use
surplus steam to generate electricity by means of the installation of an additional
condensation turbo-generator. This would allow to curve down current power consumption
levels in around 25-40%. It would also allow for the marketing of
surplus electricity to the public network or another specific consumer in the
territory.
During the non-harvest season, the thermoelectric plant might used bagasse
stored in nearby sugar mills. It might also use sugarcane harvest wastes or any other
fossil fuel.
