The Problem
The 100 cane delivery trucks that bring harvested sugarcane from the field direct to the factory ensure that cut to crush is achieved in under two hours, resulting in minimal post-harvest deterioration of the cane and the highest quality ethanol as the end product.
As the cane is billeted by our mechanical harvester, cane preparation is minimised and only shredder is needed. We aim for a preparation index of 87% before milling.
Our Solution
Mechanisation of sugarcane harvesting has been shown to decrease environmental impacts and waste, while also increasing efficiency, eliminating the need for burning, speeding up the collection process and reducing crop wastage - thus increasing productivity in terms of energy generation.
​
Our fleet consists of 21 GPS guided Case sugarcane harvesters and 100 tipper trucks make up the harvesting department at Green Fuel.

1
Beer Column (Stripping)
The fermented mash (beer) is fed into a "beer column" where it's heated. Ethanol, having a lower boiling point than water, vaporizes, separating it from the yeast solids and most of the water and other non-volatiles, which exit as "beer bottoms." The resulting ethanol-rich vapor is then sent to the next stage.
2
Rectification Column
The ethanol vapor from the beer column is further purified in a rectification column. This column works to increase the ethanol concentration by repeatedly vaporizing and condensing the mixture. However, ethanol and water form a minimum-boiling azeotrope at approximately 95-96% ethanol (by volume), meaning that conventional distillation cannot achieve higher purity than this. The product at this stage is called "hydrous ethanol."
