Discussion
Statement I: A sugar mill is generally self-sufficient in energy.
Statement II: Bagasse arising at about thirty per cent of cane provides ample fuel for the mill's own steam and power.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer.
Answer: A
Correct answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Both statements are correct and the second explains the first. Bagasse arises at about 30 per cent of the cane crushed, so a mill taking 3000 tonnes a day produces some 900 tonnes of fuel a day.
That is more than enough for the mill's own steam and electrical demand, and modern mills with high-pressure boilers export the surplus power to the grid. The arrangement is unusually favourable: the fuel arises continuously, at the point of use, in step with the demand it serves.
