Bagasse storage

Purpose-built steel structures and a variable-speed reclaim system protect our bagasse inventory and keep fuel flowing to the boilers.

A 75 × 75 × 35-foot all-steel building, constructed in 1992, houses the bagasse reclaiming system. The 6-foot by 80-foot bin conveyor uses a variable-speed hydraulic drive to keep material moving smoothly toward the steam plant.

In 2002, an additional 71 × 50 × 37-foot steel extension was added on the north side of the original structure, expanding covered storage and improving fuel reliability during wet weather windows.
