To provid e practical insight into energy generation and industrial processing\, the IEEE PES Student Branch of JSPM’s RSCOE organized an industrial visit t o a Sugar Factory integrated with a Cogeneration Power Plant having a crus hing capacity of 3500 tons of sugarcane per day (TCD).\nThe main objective s of the visit were:\n!)To understand the basic process of sugar manufactu ring from sugarcane.\n2)To study cogeneration-based electricity production using industrial by-products.\n3)To observe the practical application of electrical machines\, boilers\, and turbines.\n4)To understand sustainable and efficient utilization of energy resources.\n\nCogeneration Power Plan t\nThe cogeneration plant operates on the principle of combined heat and p ower (CHP)\, where both electricity and useful thermal energy are produced from a single fuel source.\nBagasse generated from the 3500 TCD sugar cru shing process is used as fuel in boilers to produce high-pressure steam. T he steam drives a turbine coupled with a generator\, converting thermal en ergy into electrical energy.\nThe plant has a generation capacity of appro ximately 15 kVA:\n4 kVA is utilized internally for sugar manufacturing ope rations.\n11 kVA is exported and sold to the grid.\nThis system enhances e nergy efficiency and reduces dependency on external power supply.\n\nSugar Manufacturing Process\nThe visit began with an overview of the sugar prod uction process. Sugarcane is unloaded in the yard and transported to the m illing section using mechanical cane carriers. The factory operates with a crushing capacity of 3500 TCD\, enabling large-scale sugar production.\nI n the milling unit\, heavy rollers crush the sugarcane to extract juice. T he extracted juice is further processed to produce sugar\, while the fibro us residue obtained after crushing is known as bagasse\, which serves as t he primary fuel for the cogeneration power plant.\n\nBy-Products and Their Utilization\nThe sugar factory produces several useful by-products:\n1)Ba gasse: Used as fuel in the cogeneration plant\n2)Electricity: Used interna lly and surplus power sold to the grid\n3)Molasses: Used for ethanol produ ction\n4)Press Mud: Used as agricultural fertilizer\n\nConclusion\nThe ind ustrial visit provided valuable practical knowledge about a 3500 TCD sugar manufacturing plant integrated with a cogeneration power system. The visi t enhanced understanding of renewable energy utilization\, industrial powe r systems\, and waste-to-energy concepts\, making it highly relevant to el ectrical engineering education and IEEE activities.\n\nSurvey No 149\, Kas arsai-Darumbre\, Sant Tukaram Sugar Factory\, Near Post Kasarsai\, Taluka Mulshi\, District Pune\, Maharashtra\, 410506\, Pune\, Maharashtra\, India \, 410506 LOCATION:Survey No 149\, Kasarsai-Darumbre\, Sant Tukaram Sugar Factory\, N ear Post Kasarsai\, Taluka Mulshi\, District Pune\, Maharashtra\, 410506\, Pune\, Maharashtra\, India\, 410506 ORGANIZER:aryankushwaha9890@gmail.com SEQUENCE:96 SUMMARY:Industrial Visit Bagasse-Based Cogeneration Power Plant URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/534282 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="mso -ansi-language: EN-IN\;">Event Report: Industrial Visit in Sant Tukaram Su gar Factory (Bagasse-Based Cogeneration Power Plant)</span></strong></p>\n <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-IN\;">Creative Out reach: Industrial Visit in Sant Tukaram Sugar Factory Bagasse-Based Cogene ration Power Plant<br>​Organized By: IEEE PES Student Branch Chapter at the Department of Electrical Engineering JSPM&rsquo\;s Rajarshi Shahu Coll ege of Engineering&nbsp\;</span></p>\n<p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt\; line-height: 115%\; font-family: 'Calibri'\,s ans-serif\; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-fareast-font-family: C alibri\; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor -latin\; mso-bidi-font-family: Mangal\; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi\; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN\; mso-fareast-language: EN-US\; mso-bidi-language : HI\;">Date: 23th January 2026<br>​Venue: Survey No 149\, Kasarsai-Daru mbre\, Near Post Kasarsai\, Taluka Mulshi\, District Pune\, Maharashtra\, 410506<br></span></p>\n<p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; mso-bidi-font-s ize: 10.5pt\; line-height: 115%\; font-family: 'Calibri'\,sans-serif\; mso -ascii-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri\; mso-fa reast-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-bi di-font-family: Mangal\; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi\; mso-ansi-langua ge: EN-IN\; mso-fareast-language: EN-US\; mso-bidi-language: HI\;"><strong >Objective:</strong><br>Industrial exposure is essential for engineering s tudents to understand how theoretical concepts are applied in real-world s ystems.
