Results of mission Economic analysis Important are the production cost for the export unit of electricity <<<<<< Feed-in Tariff (16.5 ct/kwh) or export price on spot market(10.0 to 12.5 ct/kwh) IRR depends on the selected financial conditions Additional biomass can prolong the plant usage Even with 50 /t the production costs are lower and are below the FIT 11
Filter mud in sugar industry Data Moisture content 70% to 80% Ash according to practise and agriculture Volatile solids, organic dry matter Flocculants, lime according to processing Besides plant material (lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose) it contains sugar, wax, proteins Limited literature available, for example Protein 5% to 15% DM Sugars 5% to 15% DM Fibres 12% to 20% DM Ash 9% to 20% DM 12
Filter mud in sugar industry Problems High solids content already Fine particles High fibre content Sugars decompose quickly Biogas needs continuous system, sugar is only seasonal 13
Biogas from filter mud Solution Dry fermentation Low permeability of substrate Percolation of the liquids? Landfill system prolonged retention time, 6 months, biogas from decomposition CSTR (complete stirred tank reactor) Mix with distillery waste water (vinasse with 120,000 to 150,000 mg/l BOD) and/or wastewater from sugar mill (4,000 to 6,000 mg/l BOD) One sugar mill gives good results, 5% DM Another mill results in 12% DM 14

Conclusion From the analysis Cogeneration might be financially viable Process parameters favour higher system pressures with higher export potential Additional biomass material is necessary Tops and trash Rice residues Energy plantations Problem for biomass material is generally the logistical challenge Biogas from filter mud shows lower potential Technical solution is not ready available yet 17
Conclusion For the German industry Biomass Powerplants or parts thereof Engineering and components Service and maintenance Solutions for logistics in biomass material Baling, transport, disintegration, pelletizing, briquetting Solution for biogas plants using filter mud and other wastewater sources Technical specifications still to be developed 18
