Overview

Factory at a Glance Key performance indicators 2005-06 Season : Total cane crushed -138.66 Lac Total losses % cane -2.01 % Bagasse saving -most of the saved bagasse used in the cogeneration plant

It is the second largest sugar unit of Triveni, which was established in the year 1932 & expanded in phases to reach its present crush capacity of 14000 TCD . The cane is procured from 48000 ha cane area with the factory and from 45000 cane farmers. The cane intensity is about 82 %.

In last couple of years, factory has been completely revamped and modernized. A little bit of reorganization of the equipment was also taken up alongwith debottlenecking of various sections of the plant. Modern equipment like continuous vacuum pans & syrup clarification system designed by SRI Australia have been installed under modernization scheme of the plant. A part stream of low pressure & low capacity boilers & power turbines operating at 11 ata pressure have also been removed after installation of the cogeneration power plant. The performance of the factory now is at par with the best sugar plants of India. Factory makes full use of the most modern high pressure (87 ata) & temperature (515 degree C) cogeneration plant installed in 2004 to efficiently meet its steam and power demand. In fact, the installation of the efficient cogeneration plant is also a main driver to achieve further energy efficiency in the sugar plant to maximize bagasse savings and power export to the state electricity grid. Factory has taken up a no. of steps to further optimize/reduce the power consumption of the plant which include:

• Installation of high capacity DC motor driven centrfugals
• Automation of combustion control of the existing 32 ata boilers
• Automation of the spray & injection system
• Installation of planetary gear boxes
• Conversion of existing drives of centrifugals to DC drives

Other sections of the plant are being also planned to have better & energy efficient equipments in next phase of the modernization.

The sugar produced at the factory is less than 100 ICUMSA (International standard for the sugar colour measurement) value Bold grain sugar. The sugar produced by Deoband commands premium in the market.

Through aggressive cane development during last couple of years, factory has now over 40% of it's command area under high sugar cane varieties. This helps the factory to achieve better sugar recovery so as to be amongst the best performing factories in the state.
