Y-products of the sugarcane industry y and is made from molasses. This is the portion of the sugarcane juice which contains sugars other than sucrose (what is normally consumed) and a number of other organic compounds. One of the compounds formed during fermentation of molasses is ethanol. In addition to sugar, about 12 million liters of ethanol are produced annually at the two factories in Savonarola and Appellate.

Another by-product of the sugarcane industry is basses which could be used to generate electricity. In addition, animal feeds, basses based fiber boards, biogas, numerous organic compounds such as acetone, butane etc. Re other by-products of the sugarcane industry. Developing the Sugar Sector: Developing the local sugar sector will result in an improved production of sugar, ethanol, electricity and a host of industrial chemicals and thereby saving a considerable amount of foreign exchange. Increase production of sugar in the country will increase our food security.It will also increase employment opportunities in areas such as Substantially, Battle, Abdullah.

Mapped, Kankakee etc. Where there is a very high degree of poverty. Hence, increased cultivation of sugarcane will lead to considerable socio-economic development of the country. In future it plan to establish sugar factories in Clinching and Redisplayed also. This report data consist of data of Appellate sugar industrial Ltd. Which is the laxest sugar factory of Sardinia.

2 process in sugar factory 2. Method of checking and pricing of cane Before entering the supply vehicles into factory, Quality of the each cane load is checked by the quality control section. Cane will be divided into four grades according to there quality which are A, B, C, and D depend on trash percentage or rearmament. There are two cane grading method, one is trash percentage method for fresh or mature cane, other one is rendering valve method for burn or immature cane. For fresh cane About 1 0 stacks of sugar cane are selected randomly from load and juice is got from those stems.

Then the refractors meter reading of juice is got and see whether refractors meter reading is greater than 17. 5. If its greater than 17. 5, only calculate trash percentage of the cane load. Trash is tops, leaves, water shoots, roots, sand and mud.

Tops that should be removed from those stacks that are immature white in color, water shoots that are less than one meter in length. To calculate trash percentage, about keg of sugar cane stems are weighted (WI) and trash is removed from the weighted sample and weigh again (WWW).
