ABSTRACT:
A method of storing bagasse by piling the bagasse up into a stack on a base structure protected against ground water and having good run-off of surface water. The stack is built up with a substantially horizontal layer structure, wherein each successive layer is piled on only after the preceding layer has completed the phase of most intensive fermentation. The stack is piled up so that it tapers toward the top and forms a ridge, and the top of the stack is covered with a rain-shedding material at the earliest possible time after the top layer has passed its fermentation peak. The rate of fermentation may be controlled by either: (1) de-coring the bagasse before storage; (2) separating the fine material out; (3) slightly pre-drying the bagasse before storage; (4) adding fermentation-controlling or fermentation-inhibiting substances to the bagasse; or (5) providing air ducts in the stack to vent off the moist, damp air.
