Assuming we have about 100,000 tons of raw bagasse available per year and we'd like to make rough linerboards or intermediate paper/board products to be then sold to sophisticated manufacturers who would turn our rough paper/board into tissues and napkins. Also, please assume this intermediate paper/board manufacturing plant will be in a developing country where environmental restrictions are not as stringent as in the States. Most importantly, we'd like to get a budget for the various machineries involved. With that background and with 100,000 tons of raw bagasse available per year, please answer the following: 1) A very brief description of the process of making this intermediate paper products (others will make napkins and tissues out of our product) using bagasse as the main raw material. What is the expected yield? 2) What machineries are needed? Preferably with make, model and price. 3) What chemistries are needed and in what quantity? 4) How much energy is needed? 5) How the waste might be treated. And most importantly, 6) A budget for the various machineries involved. |

For those who wonder, bagasse is the fibrous residue from milling sugar cane: http://www.watershedmedia.org/paper/paper-PROFbag.html rshen-ga, I expect that any processing of bagasse prior to its being used by a plant producing the final product is superfluous. But this is just inviting a comment to prove me wrong, which will help you more. |

Very resonable question. There are several reasons why one might need an intermediate stage: 1) The bagasse country does not have the capability to create final product -- tissues and napkins. 2) It is uneconomical to transport raw bagasse (it is bulky but does not weigh much) to where the final products are produced. The final destinations are usually more developed countries. 3) It may even be dangerous to transport raw bagasse because of fire hazard and/or mold formation 4) The intermediate rough paper/board provides the stability and density for transport. |

Wisconsin is the largest paper producing state in the USA. I would suggest you make contacts here http://www.wipapercouncil.org/aboutthewpc.htm Good Luck! |
