PROCESSING OF SWEET SORGHUM FOR BIOETHANOL PRODUCTION

摘要

A method of processing sweet sorghum cane for sugar extraction is disclosed. The method comprises passing the cane into a first cutter (4) to cut the material coarsely and then passing the material into a second cutter (7) to cut it into fine fibres. The fibrous material is then passed to a press (10) to extract sugar juice for fermentation in a bioethanol production plant (25).
