Abstract
Sugar mill wet bagasse is used as a fuel in sugar industry worldwide. The moisture content on the bagasse is effort on the calorific value (CV) of bagasse and boiler efficiencies. Industries and research institutes have been working to reduce th e moisture content of mill wet bagasse.The average moisture content in the bagasse is 51.5%. Then the bagasse dryer was intsalled. Around 45% of wet bagasse was routed through the dryer. This paper discusses about the bagasse dryer installation and operat ion
