Abstract

Conventionally, handling of the filter cake in the sugar industry is considered to be a troublesome area and whatever utilization is made is in making the bio-compost. However, in pursuit of generating higher revenues, the unharnessed potential of filter cake may be exploited by utilizing for generating bio-gas or Compressed Bio-gas (CBG). Filter cake contains appreciable proportion of biodegradable organic matter which has very good potential for the production of bio-gas from it. The Government of India has also made certain policy interventions to encourage production of CBG/Bio-CNG utilizing filter cake and other waste streams of the sugar industry. The paper discusses potential of Bio-CNG/CBG production utilizing filter cake from sugar industry, technology, opportunities and challenges.
