TO OPERATORS OF SUGAR FACTORIES
Significant increase to the revenue base
through the production of high value-added end-products from by-product
feedstocks.
Offset of exposure to fluctuating sugar prices.Environmental superiority
due to the elimination of bagasse burning and decreased energy consumption.
Cleaner juice for the boiling house
results in a higher value sugar product and increased boiling house
operational efficiencies.Eliminates raw material waste and permits
optimization of raw material utilization.
Decreased wear and tear on processing equipment.Decreased
scaling on processing equipment.
Ability to customize the end-product mix to
meet the specific needs of a particular customer(s) and/or market(s).Decreased
energy requirements permit the use of fiber for applications of
far greater value than as a fuel.
Purer juice enables improved sugar yields and
opportunities to produce higher value sugar products not economically
feasible at conventional juice purity levels.
TO OPERATORS OF BOARD PLANTS Top of page
Use of annually renewable crop eliminates the
need to expand feed stock acquisition area, roads etc.No incremental
feed stock costs as the feed stock is a by-product of raw sugarcane
processing.
Elimination of the need for the front-end wood
handling equipment required in timber based board plants results
in capital and energy consumption savings.Guaranteed long-term feed
stock supply with superior fiber yields per acre as compared to
timber.
Consistent quality and clean feedstock.Sugarcane
is grown in most of the "hot" international board markets.Low
operating labor costs.Elimination for "cold weather tolerant"
equipment required in many timber based board plants.
Tilby processed cane, unlike conventional bagasse,
results in board products equal or superior to timber based equivalents.Comrind
is equal to or superior to timber hardwood for pulp and paper applications
and is annually renewable.
All costs associated with furnish acquisition
are covered by the production and sale of sugar-based products.
BENEFITS IN GENERAL Top of page
Much of the economic and other benefits will
be realized in third world countries where international financial
and other support is readily available.
Corepanel provides inexpensive quality housing
in third world cane growing countries where such housing is needed.
The comrind feedstock permits low-cost housing to be produced from
an annually renewable resource ...sugarcane.
Tilby Systems' proprietary manufactured hardwood
production costs are significantly lower than timber based costs
and is annually renewable.
The Tilby Separation technology is equally applicable
for crops such as kenaf, sweet sorghum and hemp. |
