Resource Efficiency & Pollution Prevention Industrial Retrofit Program (PRI) achievements in Tucuman Province

Water recycling: • Recovery and internal recycling of 100,000 m3/day of water from sugarcane washing water. • Reuse of water with sugar contents as process water instead of draining it.

Reuse of resources: • Ashes: 300,000 ton/year. Residue of the combustion of bagasse in boilers that are destined to organic amendment of soils and production of bricks • Cachazas/Filter cakes: 580,000 ton/year.

Energy efficiency: • Recovery of Biogas: installation of anaerobic UASB reactors to treat citrus effluents. • Electric co-generation from short fibers of sugarcane bagasse. Self-supply and sale of surplus to the general electric network. E. Circular economy: State policy for Sugarcane Sector

National Roundtable for the Sustainable Management of Sugarcane Vinasse

Minimization of vinasse generation: - Reduction of organic load of vinasse by biological treatments

Reuse: - Enrichment of compost properties by incorporation of vinasse - Replacement of water in productive processes by vinasse use

Valorization: - Recovery of unproductive soils - Biogas obtained by anaerobic treatment of vinasse F. National Program for Sustainable Entrepreneurs (PROESUS)
