Turn your bagasse into revenue — expert cogeneration plant design and advisory for sugar mills.
Cogeneration — the simultaneous generation of steam and electricity from bagasse — is one of the most effective ways for a sugar mill to reduce its energy costs and generate additional revenue through power export to the grid. Sugarcon Engineers provides comprehensive engineering consultancy for bagasse-based cogeneration plant design, installation and optimisation.
Our team has experience with high-pressure cogeneration systems ranging from 15 MW to 50 MW, and understands the critical interface between the cogeneration plant and the sugar process to ensure steam supply to the factory is never compromised.

High-Pressure Boiler Design: Selection and specification of high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) boilers (65 kg/cm² and above) for optimum steam generation from bagasse.
Turbine Selection & Sizing: Back pressure and extraction-cum-condensing turbine sizing, generator selection and electrical switchyard design.
Steam & Water Systems: Boiler feed water treatment, deaeration, condensate recovery systems and auxiliary boiler design for off-season operation.
Bagasse Handling & Storage: Bagasse carrier systems, intermediate bagasse storage, reclaim conveyors and boiler house material handling design.
Power Evacuation & Grid Connectivity: HV switchyard design, grid connection studies, power purchase agreement (PPA) support and SLDC requirements.
DPR & Financial Feasibility: Detailed project report, CERC-compliant tariff studies, ROI analysis and bank loan documentation for cogeneration projects.
Export surplus power to the state grid at regulated tariffs — creating a consistent revenue stream beyond sugar sales.
Bagasse is a renewable biomass fuel — cogeneration qualifies for green energy incentives and carbon credits.
A well-designed cogeneration plant can make the sugar factory fully energy self-sufficient during the crushing season.
Reduced energy purchase costs combined with power export income significantly improves the overall financial performance of a sugar factory.
