Abstract: There is currently a cogeneration deficit at a sugar plant near Nepeña, Ancash, Peru, where the exhaust steam from the mill area is approximately 235°C. The steam should be at a temperature close to 120°C, therefore, the heat is dissipated without being recovered. The waste heat available in the plant is mainly exhaust gases and mill area exhaust steam, so the installation of an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is proposed as a solution for the use of waste heat, with the objective of optimizing cogeneration in the plant.
