1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,350
This sugar mill powers

2
00:00:01,350 --> 00:00:02,350
itself with its own

3
00:00:02,350 --> 00:00:03,330
waste.

4
00:00:03,330 --> 00:00:04,430
For every hundred tons

5
00:00:04,430 --> 00:00:05,710
of cane it crushes,

6
00:00:05,710 --> 00:00:06,770
almost 30 tons of

7
00:00:06,770 --> 00:00:08,310
bagasse are left over.

8
00:00:08,310 --> 00:00:08,950
So how does it

9
00:00:08,950 --> 00:00:09,450
turn that into

10
00:00:09,450 --> 00:00:10,400
electricity?

11
00:00:10,930 --> 00:00:12,230
The mills squeeze the

12
00:00:12,230 --> 00:00:13,270
cane and extract the

13
00:00:13,270 --> 00:00:14,050
juice.

14
00:00:14,050 --> 00:00:15,010
The leftover bagasse

15
00:00:15,010 --> 00:00:15,930
travels to the boiler

16
00:00:15,930 --> 00:00:17,570
where it burns.

17
00:00:17,570 --> 00:00:18,710
That fire boils the

18
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:19,450
water running through

19
00:00:19,450 --> 00:00:20,910
hundreds of tubes and

20
00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:21,490
turns it into

21
00:00:21,490 --> 00:00:22,910
high-pressure steam at

22
00:00:22,910 --> 00:00:24,790
more than 300 degrees.

23
00:00:24,790 --> 00:00:25,830
The steam enters the

24
00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:27,190
turbine and pushes row

25
00:00:27,190 --> 00:00:28,290
after row of blades,

26
00:00:28,290 --> 00:00:29,570
spinning at thousands

27
00:00:29,570 --> 00:00:30,570
of revolutions per

28
00:00:30,570 --> 00:00:31,450
minute.

29
00:00:31,450 --> 00:00:32,210
And once again the

30
00:00:32,210 --> 00:00:33,570
gearbox shows up.

31
00:00:33,570 --> 00:00:34,470
The reducer brings the

32
00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:35,770
speed down to 1,800

33
00:00:35,770 --> 00:00:36,710
for a four-pole

34
00:00:36,710 --> 00:00:37,430
generator that

35
00:00:37,430 --> 00:00:38,870
delivers 60 Hertz.

36
00:00:38,870 --> 00:00:40,030
The steam leaving the

37
00:00:40,030 --> 00:00:41,430
turbine is not wasted.

38
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:41,970
It goes to the

39
00:00:41,970 --> 00:00:43,030
factory to heat and

40
00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:44,410
evaporate the juice.

41
00:00:44,410 --> 00:00:46,290
That is cogeneration.

42
00:00:46,290 --> 00:00:46,990
The same principle

43
00:00:46,990 --> 00:00:47,830
drives geothermal

44
00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:48,850
plants like Cerro

45
00:00:48,850 --> 00:00:49,730
Prieto in Baja

46
00:00:49,730 --> 00:00:50,950
California where the

47
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:51,710
steam comes from the

48
00:00:51,710 --> 00:00:52,510
earth.

49
00:00:52,510 --> 00:00:53,410
At the mill,

50
00:00:53,410 --> 00:00:54,450
the generator runs day

51
00:00:54,450 --> 00:00:55,210
and night for the

52
00:00:55,210 --> 00:00:56,710
whole harvest and gets

53
00:00:56,710 --> 00:00:57,370
repaired between

54
00:00:57,370 --> 00:00:58,430
harvests.
