Burnin’ Bagasse 

Y 

By Sam Irwin 

ou know it’s late fall in south Louisiana 

when farmers burn sugarcane in the field. 

Cane burning has been a cultural practice for centuries 

in Louisiana. A pre-harvest burn makes the plant easier 

to cut while a post-harvest burn removes leaf 

mulch from the field so the second crop can grow better. 

As urban sprawl creeps into areas traditionally set 

aside for farming, sugarcane farmers 

have been asked to consider their new 

neighbors when they burn their fields. 

Most producers cooperate and follow 

best management practices to minimize 

the effects of field burning, but 

the very nature of the sugarcane plant 

and harvest techniques will always 

leave a lot of organic material in the 

field. 

If only there was a way for the 

farmer and processors to use all of the 

plant. 

The plant is 75 percent water, 10 percent sugar and 

15 percent fiber. After the water and sucrose has been 

squeezed from the stalk at the sugar refinery, the 

fibrous substance left over, called bagasse, must be 

stored somewhere. 

At one time building material manufacturers used 

bagasse to make a kind of wallboard known as 

Celebrate National 

Catfish Month. 

For tempting catfish 

recipes, see page 7. 

Cellotex or bagasse board. Bagasse currently has limited 

commercial value. 

So what to do with this vast amount of organic waste 

product? 

It’s not uncommon in south Louisiana to see mountains 

of bagasse piled high in the sky next to sugar 

mills and occupying valuable real estate. 

In recent years, considerable attention has been 

given to sugarcane and its potential 

to produce ethanol. Brazil 

has devoted considerable 

resources to develop an ethanol 

product and industry for fuel. 

The Louisiana sugar industry 

is also interested in other uses for 

sugarcane. But investment in a 

faulty technology could mean 

millions of lost dollars if the 

wrong decision is made. 

Officials at Raceland Raw 

Sugar Corporation wanted to 

make sure they considered all possible options before 

investing their hard-earned capital into untested technologies. 

Their solution took them back to the future. 

They are going to burn their bagasse. 

Raceland Raw Sugar initially wanted to figure out a 

way to compress the bagasse to make it denser and

Louisiana Agriculture & Forestry Today 

Plant adds to unprecedented agricultural infrastructure investment 

Agriculture and Forestry 

Commissioner Mike Strain, D.V.M., 

said he expects to see a significant 

increase in Louisiana sweet potato 

production with the start up of the 

new ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston 

sweet potato processing facility 

planned for Delhi in Richland 

Parish. 

The sweet potato plant is scheduled 

to open in November of 2010. 

“Sweet potatoes are one of the 

nation’s hottest food items,” Strain 

said. “National consumption is up 

21 percent over the last five years. It 

seems like everyone across the 

country has discovered what we’ve 

known in Louisiana for years, that 

sweet potatoes taste great and 

Louisiana’s sweet potatoes are the 

best.”

Lamb Weston, I think the smaller 

Louisiana row crop farmer will now 

have a chance to cultivate sweet 

potatoes, a high-value crop,” Strain 

said. 

Strain said Louisiana farmers currently 

have 13,500 acres in sweet 

potato production, but that figure 

could increase significantly and surpass 

25,000 acres, the norm in the 

late 1990s. 

“Lamb Weston is lining up national 

quick-service restaurant chains to 

buy high-quality sweet potato fries,” 

Strain said. “State farmers have a 

real opportunity to be part of the 

sweet potato supply and demand 

chain.” 

Strain said Delhi is a perfect location 

to handle expanding production 

anticipated in neighboring states in 

response to the Louisiana processing

Bagasse, continued from page 1 

thus more efficient to transport to bio-fuel 

plants. 

But Plant Manager and Chief Engineer 

Neville Dolan said a new technique that compresses 

the bagasse into a super-dense briquette 

will have more profitable applications 

as a fuel source than as a biomass. The 

bagasse briquette looks like an oversized pellet. 

A team from Raceland has worked on this 

value-added project for the past four years 

and for the past two have worked closely with 

a Brazilian manufacturer to build a machine 

that can dry and compress the fluffy fibrous 

residue into a 1 1/2” diameter briquette. 

Dolan said loose bagasse is a lightweight 

material and only weighs about five pounds 

per cubic foot. The unprofitable lightness 

makes bagasse impractical to transport. 

“Using this compression method the 

bagasse will weigh 42 to 50 pounds per cubic 

foot,” Dolan said. 

The first compressing machine plant is now 

A new technology developed by an LSU AgCenter researcher 

has serendipitously found its way into the oil industry, resulting 

in a new company and the reinvigoration of an existing company 

in Louisiana. 

The patented process, developed by Qinglin Wu in the School 

of Renewable Natural Resources, involves making material 

from recycled plastics, including used motor oil containers and 

wood waste, that can be used in oil and gas drilling to prevent 

the drilling fluid from seeping into the environment. 

This material, which has been trademarked as Tiger Bullets, 

are marketed to oil companies by a start-up company aptly 

called Hole Pluggers, which is based in New Iberia. 

“We’re recycling the oil containers back into the oil business,” 

said Tom Parker, one of the owners of Hole Pluggers, 

who licensed the technology from the AgCenter. “That’s one of 

the advantages of our product.” 

Tiger Bullets are manufactured at Wallace Moulding and 

Millworks of Columbia in Caldwell Parish, a company that also 

makes the parts for windows, doors and cabinets for houses. 

With the decline in the housing market, Dan Wallace, the 

owner, had been in search of new business and, after consulting 

with Wu, had invested in equipment to move into the manufacture 

of plastic lumber. Then along came Tiger Bullets. 

“Talk about being in the right place at the right time,” Wallace 

said. “We were already set up with equipment that can manufacture 

this material.” 

Wallace was able to hire back some of the 30 employees he’d 

had to lay off and hopes to have all 45 of his employees back – 

and possibly more employees – by the first of the year. 

“This is another success story of how technology developed 

at a university can transform an existing business and industry, 

leading to new jobs and growth in the state’s economy,” said 

Wade Baumgartner, associate director of the LSU AgCenter’s 

Office of Intellectual Property. 

Here’s how serendipity played a role in the unfolding of this 

story. 

On March 30, 2008, Parker, an entrepreneur in the oil business, 

saw an article in the Baton Rouge Advocate newspaper 

about Wu and his wood-plastic composites research. Wu is the 

Roy O. Martin Professor of Composites and Engineered Wood 

Products at the AgCenter. 

The article described how Wu was using discarded motor oil 

containers in combination with cellulosic fibers, which 

absorbed the residual oil, to create strong composite materials. 

Wu had been conducting this research at the request of Dan 

Cadigan, a senior official with BP Global Supply Chain in Port 

installed at Raceland and the first phase of the 

commissioning complete. Production tests 

will commence soon in order to ascertain the 

economic and technical feasibility of the unit. 

Raceland Raw Sugar will look at other 

issues such as wear characteristics, labor 

requirements and fuel inputs before making a 

final decision but early tests are promising. 

Initial indications are that the fuel input to 

compress the bagasse could be zero. After the 

bagasse drying process, the bagasse is 

screened to remove the bagacillo, also called 

the “fines”. This bagacillo is returned to the 

fireboxes on the dryer where it is burned to 

create the heat in the same dryer. It is anticipated 

that the dryer will use ten percent of the 

bagasse and bagacillo for this purpose. 

Probably the most important question to be 

asked is about the market for these briquettes. 

Would the denser material have value as a 

biomass for use in an ethanol or biodiesel 

product? 

Maybe, but Raceland Sugar officials decid- 

ed they would try out basic technologies 

before they invested a lot of money into 

expensive research. Briquettes can be sold as 

a renewable fuel in the “pellet” market both 

domestically and internationally. 

Raceland Raw Sugar, not to mention every 

farmer and resident of south Louisiana, 

already knows that dried stalks and cane 

leaves will burn easily in the fields and furnace. 

The question now was how efficient 

does bagasse burn? 

Dolan ran tests and determined that the 

compressed bagasse will deliver 7,000 BTUs 

of heat per pound. 

One ton of these briquettes at 7,000 BTU 

can produce enough electricity for an average 

household for one month. 

“That is a good fuel value,” Dolan said. 

A good fuel value led to the next question. 

Does bagasse burn clean? 

In a word, yes. 

Dolan said there is zero sulfur dioxide emitted 

when the bagasse briquette is burned. 

Allen, who had contacted Wu a year before, ironically, after 

reading an article in the Advocate about Wu’s research. 

“Wu’s research sounded like it offered the perfect solution to 

recycling oil containers,” Cadigan said. 

Wu has spent his research career creating wood-plastic composites 

using waste products from the agricultural and forestry 

industry including wood chips, sugarcane bagasse and rice 

hulls. 

In 2006, Wu’s research team received an $800,000 grant from 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of 

Energy to create composite products that can be commercialized 

in Louisiana. Wallace had been one of the Louisiana busi- 

ness owners Wu had approached with ideas for new products. 

In reading about Wu’s and Cadigan’s project, Parker saw 

immediate application for the composite material that included 

plastic oil containers as an ingredient in the drilling fluid “mud” 

used in drilling for oil and gas. He himself had been trying to 

develop the perfect mud additive that could effectively seal off 

fractures in the earth and permeable formations. 

The drilling mud both lubricates and cools the drill bit as it 

goes down into the earth, sometimes as far as 30,000 feet or 

In addition to the low emissions, the anticipated 

cost of production is about $8 to $10 a 

ton. 

It’s too soon to say what the open market 

will pay for a ton of compressed bagasse but 

Dolan said conditions are favorable. 

One plus that is sure to thrill farmers: 

Raceland Raw Sugar will want the entire 

cane stalk, leaves and all, delivered to the 

mill. That means producers will not have to 

run the gas-guzzling cane combine blowers 

to separate the refuse from the cane. 

“When the farmer turns off the blowers, he 

has at least 50 percent fuel savings,” Dolan 

said. 

Dolan, South African by birth, is a real 

hands-on engineer. 

“There’s always a lot of talk about research 

and development,” Dolan says. “But it’s time 

to stop the research and do the development.” 

With any luck, Dolan and the Raceland 

Raw Sugar Corporation will have a real winner 

on their hand.

after the tunnel is dug. But when the mud seeps away, that’s 

called “lost circulation” and is a huge, expensive problem. 

“This costs money for the oil and gas industry, and it’s not 

good for the environment,” Wu said. 

Other drilling fluid ingredients on the market are not as good 

at filling and sealing off cracks and porous areas as Tiger 

Bullets, Parker said. One reason is Wu’s patented process 

allows the material to be custom-made into multiple-sized particles 

to fit the particular geology of the drilling operation. The 

varying-sized material can immediately seal off and plug any 

size fissure or surface porosity, preventing seepage. 

Wu’s material has been used successfully with all three types 

of drilling fluid – synthetic, water-based and oil-based. Parker 

has tested the Tiger Bullets in oil drilling operations in the 

mountains of Colorado, the plains of Arkansas and off-shore in 

the Gulf of Mexico, and they perform well. 

“Wu did a great job of simulating the effects of drilling in the 

laboratory. His technology came off the drawing board and 

worked in the real world better than expectations,” Parker said. 

Tiger Bullets’ environmental advantage is another selling 

point. Although Wu’s technology can use any kind of plastic 

waste in the material, used plastic motor oil containers work 

perfectly. 

“There are few current uses for the oil container plastics, and 

they are very expensive to get rid of,” Wu said. “This is not a 

problem with out process because the material is converted to a 

green, proprietary blend of materials to make a lost circulation 

material that does not contain any free oil.” 

Cadigan said Louisiana produces more oil containers than 

probably any other state. So having them come back to the state 

after they’ve been used and create new business and jobs is the 

perfect “cradle to cradle” scenario. 

Cadigan credits Kelsey Short with the Louisiana Economic 

Development office with helping connect Wallace with the 

Northeast Louisiana Economic Development Alliance, which 

provided some funding for Wallace’s new equipment. 

Like the rest of the economy, the oil business is down right 

now, but it will bounce back and bring with it a bright future for 

Hole Pluggers. 

“The LSU AgCenter has a history of conducting research 

with practical application for industry,” said David Boethel, 

LSU AgCenter vice chancellor for research. “This is another 

example.” 

And both Parker and Cadigan agree it pays to read the newspaper.

When you think cheese, you may think 

Green Bay, Wisconsin and Green Bay 

Packer cheesehead fans or the happy 

California cows in cute commercials. 

Rarely would one think of Louisiana as a 

major cheese player. 

You wouldn’t think that a small, artisanal, 

farmstead cheese producer from Acadiana 

with only 25 goats would have much of a 

chance competing against major powerhouse 

cheesemakers from California, 

Oregon or Wisconsin in cheese competitions. 

But Louisiana cheesemaker Wanda Barras 

of Belle Ecorce Farms took two second 

place prizes at the 26th annual American

Horsing around with Pam Kaster 

There is something about the outside outside 

of a horse that is good 

for the inside of a man. ~Winston ~Winston 

Churchill 

Abby Theriot and Smokey served as models so workshop attendees 

could test out their newfound equine photography skills. 

By Laura Pursnell-Lindsay 

There is a special bond between people 

and their horses that equine photographer 

and children's book author Pam Kaster has a 

knack for capturing on film. 

Kaster shared her secrets of taking great 

horse photos at an equine photography clinic 

she conducted at the 40th annual 

Louisiana 4-H, Future Farmers of America 

state horse show that was held July 6-11 in 

West Monroe at the Ike Hamilton Expo 

Center. 

Kaster, a Zachary resident, is a member of 

the Equine Photographers Network, 

National Association of Photoshop 

Photographers and trained under famed 

German equine photographer Gabrielle 

Boiselle. Most recently, Kaster was named 

the winner of the 2008 American Society for 

the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Henry 

Bergh® Children's Book Award for her 

book "Molly the Pony - A True Story." 

Kaster, a horsewoman, said when she took 

up photography as a hobby, human subjects 

were of little interest to her. 

"When I started I found my horses more 

interesting to photograph than people," 

Kaster said. "Since my granddaughter was 

born, I've had a change of heart; she's now 

my favorite human model to photograph." 

More than a dozen eager horse and photography 

enthusiasts attended the Monroe 

workshop. They were armed with an array 

of digital cameras from little point and shoot 

cameras to fancy digital 

single lens reflex (SLR) 

models with all the bells 

and whistles. They were 

anxious to learn techniques 

to improve their 

photography skills. 

Kaster said aspiring 

photographers should 

have the basic essentials, 

like a 70-200 mm lens, 

the camera owner's manual, 

card reader and a 

computer. 

"You don't need to have 

a high-end digital camera to take great photographs," 

Kaster said. "Point and shoots 

Pam Kaster 

can produce great pictures, but as your skill 

level improves, you may find your point and 

shoot limiting and decide to upgrade to a 

camera that affords you more flexibility." 

Kaster said distortion, lighting and distracting 

background are common problems 

that most beginner photographers don't recognize 

at first. 

Avoid shooting when the 

sun is directly overhead. 

Ideally you want to shoot 

either early in the morning or 

late in the evening, Kaster 

said. "After the sun goes 

down there's about a 10 

minute window where the 

lighting is just magical." 

Kaster said some horses 

are easier to shoot than others. 

"I believe white horses are 

the best horses in the world 

to photograph," Kaster said. 

"They reflect the light where black horses 

suck the light out of an image so you must 

accommodate by adjusting your lighting and 

speed." 

Kaster suggests composing your image to 

avoid distracting backgrounds, for instance 

removing a trash can from the frame. 

Kaster recommended shooting through a 

stall door or alley way to create a beautiful 

silhouetted image. 

Following the lecture, Kaster and the clinic 

attendees put their newfound knowledge 

to the test and photographed 13-year-old 

Abby Theriot of Bourg riding her horse 

Smokey. The group did their best to use 

Kaster's recommendations. 

One participant said she can't wait to get 

home and photograph her horses.

Future equine photography workshops are 

currently being considered. For more information,

A new addition to this year's horse show 

was a commemorative painting based on 

one of Kaster's photographs by artist Geri 

Heurtin.
