Burnin’ <strong>Bagasse</strong><br />
Y<br />
By Sam Irwin<br />
ou know it’s late fall in south Louisiana<br />
when farmers burn sugarcane in the field.<br />
Cane burning has been a cultural practice for centuries<br />
in Louisiana. A pre-harvest burn makes the plant easier<br />
to cut while a post-harvest burn removes leaf<br />
mulch from the field so the second crop can grow better.<br />
As urban sprawl creeps into areas traditionally set<br />
aside for farming, sugarcane farmers<br />
have been asked to consider their new<br />
neighbors when they burn their fields.<br />
Most producers cooperate <strong>and</strong> follow<br />
best management practices to minimize<br />
the effects <strong>of</strong> field burning, but<br />
the very nature <strong>of</strong> the sugarcane plant<br />
<strong>and</strong> harvest techniques will always<br />
leave a lot <strong>of</strong> organic material in the<br />
field.<br />
If only there was a way for the<br />
farmer <strong>and</strong> processors to use all <strong>of</strong> the<br />
plant.<br />
The plant is 75 percent water, 10 percent sugar <strong>and</strong><br />
15 percent fiber. After the water <strong>and</strong> sucrose has been<br />
squeezed from the stalk at the sugar refinery, the<br />
fibrous substance left over, called bagasse, must be<br />
stored somewhere.<br />
At one time building material manufacturers used<br />
bagasse to make a kind <strong>of</strong> wallboard known as<br />
Celebrate National<br />
Catfish Month.<br />
For tempting catfish<br />
recipes, see page 7.<br />
Cellotex or bagasse board. <strong>Bagasse</strong> currently has limited<br />
commercial value.<br />
So what to do with this vast amount <strong>of</strong> organic waste<br />
product?<br />
It’s not uncommon in south Louisiana to see mountains<br />
<strong>of</strong> bagasse piled high in the sky next to sugar<br />
mills <strong>and</strong> occupying valuable real estate.<br />
In recent years, considerable attention has been<br />
given to sugarcane <strong>and</strong> its potential<br />
to produce ethanol. Brazil<br />
has devoted considerable<br />
resources to develop an ethanol<br />
product <strong>and</strong> industry for fuel.<br />
The Louisiana sugar industry<br />
is also interested in other uses for<br />
sugarcane. But investment in a<br />
faulty technology could mean<br />
millions <strong>of</strong> lost dollars if the<br />
wrong decision is made.<br />
Officials at Racel<strong>and</strong> Raw<br />
Sugar Corporation wanted to<br />
make sure they considered all possible options before<br />
investing their hard-earned capital into untested technologies.<br />
Their solution took them back to the future.<br />
They are going to burn their bagasse.<br />
Racel<strong>and</strong> Raw Sugar initially wanted to figure out a<br />
way to compress the bagasse to make it denser <strong>and</strong><br />

Commissioner Mike Strain, D.V.M.,<br />
said he expects to see a significant<br />
increase in Louisiana sweet potato<br />
production with the start up <strong>of</strong> the<br />
new ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston<br />
sweet potato processing facility<br />
planned for Delhi in Richl<strong>and</strong><br />
Parish.<br />
The sweet potato plant is scheduled<br />
to open in November <strong>of</strong> 2010.<br />
“Sweet potatoes are one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
nation’s hottest food items,” Strain<br />
said. “National consumption is up<br />
21 percent over the last five years. It<br />
seems like everyone across the<br />
country has discovered what we’ve<br />
known in Louisiana for years, that<br />
sweet potatoes taste great <strong>and</strong><br />
Louisiana’s sweet potatoes are the<br />
best.”<br />

Lamb Weston, I think the smaller<br />
Louisiana row crop farmer will now<br />
have a chance to cultivate sweet<br />
potatoes, a high-value crop,” Strain<br />
said.<br />
Strain said Louisiana farmers currently<br />
have 13,500 acres in sweet<br />
potato production, but that figure<br />
could increase significantly <strong>and</strong> surpass<br />
25,000 acres, the norm in the<br />
late 1990s.<br />
“Lamb Weston is lining up national<br />
quick-service restaurant chains to<br />
buy high-quality sweet potato fries,”<br />
Strain said. “State farmers have a<br />
real opportunity to be part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
sweet potato supply <strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong><br />
chain.”<br />
Strain said Delhi is a perfect location<br />

thus more efficient to transport to bio-fuel<br />
plants.<br />
But Plant Manager <strong>and</strong> Chief Engineer<br />
Neville Dolan said a new technique that compresses<br />
the bagasse into a super-dense briquette<br />
will have more pr<strong>of</strong>itable applications<br />
as a fuel source than as a biomass. The<br />
bagasse briquette looks like an oversized pellet.<br />
A team from Racel<strong>and</strong> has worked on this<br />
value-added project for the past four years<br />
<strong>and</strong> for the past two have worked closely with<br />
a Brazilian manufacturer to build a machine<br />
that can dry <strong>and</strong> compress the fluffy fibrous<br />
residue into a 1 1/2” diameter briquette.<br />
Dolan said loose bagasse is a lightweight<br />
material <strong>and</strong> only weighs about five pounds<br />
per cubic foot. The unpr<strong>of</strong>itable lightness<br />
makes bagasse impractical to transport.<br />
“Using this compression method the<br />
bagasse will weigh 42 to 50 pounds per cubic<br />
foot,” Dolan said.<br />
The first compressing machine plant is now<br />
A new technology developed by an LSU AgCenter researcher<br />
has serendipitously found its way into the oil industry, resulting<br />
in a new company <strong>and</strong> the reinvigoration <strong>of</strong> an existing company<br />
in Louisiana.<br />
The patented process, developed by Qinglin Wu in the School<br />
<strong>of</strong> Renewable Natural Resources, involves making material<br />
from recycled plastics, including used motor oil containers <strong>and</strong><br />
wood waste, that can be used in oil <strong>and</strong> gas drilling to prevent<br />
the drilling fluid from seeping into the environment.<br />
This material, which has been trademarked as Tiger Bullets,<br />
are marketed to oil companies by a start-up company aptly<br />
called Hole Pluggers, which is based in New Iberia.<br />
“We’re recycling the oil containers back into the oil business,”<br />
said Tom Parker, one <strong>of</strong> the owners <strong>of</strong> Hole Pluggers,<br />
who licensed the technology from the AgCenter. “That’s one <strong>of</strong><br />
the advantages <strong>of</strong> our product.”<br />
Tiger Bullets are manufactured at Wallace Moulding <strong>and</strong><br />
Millworks <strong>of</strong> Columbia in Caldwell Parish, a company that also<br />
makes the parts for windows, doors <strong>and</strong> cabinets for houses.<br />
With the decline in the housing market, Dan Wallace, the<br />
owner, had been in search <strong>of</strong> new business <strong>and</strong>, after consulting<br />
with Wu, had invested in equipment to move into the manufacture<br />
<strong>of</strong> plastic lumber. Then along came Tiger Bullets.<br />
“Talk about being in the right place at the right time,” Wallace<br />
said. “We were already set up with equipment that can manufacture<br />
this material.”<br />
Wallace was able to hire back some <strong>of</strong> the 30 employees he’d<br />
had to lay <strong>of</strong>f <strong>and</strong> hopes to have all 45 <strong>of</strong> his employees back –<br />
<strong>and</strong> possibly more employees – by the first <strong>of</strong> the year.<br />
“This is another success story <strong>of</strong> how technology developed<br />
at a university can transform an existing business <strong>and</strong> industry,<br />
leading to new jobs <strong>and</strong> growth in the state’s economy,” said<br />
Wade Baumgartner, associate director <strong>of</strong> the LSU AgCenter’s<br />
Office <strong>of</strong> Intellectual Property.<br />
Here’s how serendipity played a role in the unfolding <strong>of</strong> this<br />
story.<br />
On March 30, 2008, Parker, an entrepreneur in the oil business,<br />
saw an article in the Baton Rouge Advocate newspaper<br />
about Wu <strong>and</strong> his wood-plastic composites research. Wu is the<br />
Roy O. Martin Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Composites <strong>and</strong> Engineered Wood<br />
Products at the AgCenter.<br />
The article described how Wu was using discarded motor oil<br />
containers in combination with cellulosic fibers, which<br />
absorbed the residual oil, to create strong composite materials.<br />
Wu had been conducting this research at the request <strong>of</strong> Dan<br />
Cadigan, a senior <strong>of</strong>ficial with BP Global Supply Chain in Port<br />
installed at Racel<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the first phase <strong>of</strong> the<br />
commissioning complete. Production tests<br />
will commence soon in order to ascertain the<br />
economic <strong>and</strong> technical feasibility <strong>of</strong> the unit.<br />
Racel<strong>and</strong> Raw Sugar will look at other<br />
issues such as wear characteristics, labor<br />
requirements <strong>and</strong> fuel inputs before making a<br />
final decision but early tests are promising.<br />
Initial indications are that the fuel input to<br />
compress the bagasse could be zero. After the<br />
bagasse drying process, the bagasse is<br />
screened to remove the bagacillo, also called<br />
the “fines”. This bagacillo is returned to the<br />
fireboxes on the dryer where it is burned to<br />
create the heat in the same dryer. It is anticipated<br />
that the dryer will use ten percent <strong>of</strong> the<br />
bagasse <strong>and</strong> bagacillo for this purpose.<br />
Probably the most important question to be<br />
asked is about the market for these briquettes.<br />
Would the denser material have value as a<br />
biomass for use in an ethanol or biodiesel<br />
product?<br />
Maybe, but Racel<strong>and</strong> Sugar <strong>of</strong>ficials decid-<br />
ed they would try out basic technologies<br />
before they invested a lot <strong>of</strong> money into<br />
expensive research. Briquettes can be sold as<br />
a renewable fuel in the “pellet” market both<br />
domestically <strong>and</strong> internationally.<br />
Racel<strong>and</strong> Raw Sugar, not to mention every<br />
farmer <strong>and</strong> resident <strong>of</strong> south Louisiana,<br />
already knows that dried stalks <strong>and</strong> cane<br />
leaves will burn easily in the fields <strong>and</strong> furnace.<br />
The question now was how efficient<br />
does bagasse burn?<br />
Dolan ran tests <strong>and</strong> determined that the<br />
compressed bagasse will deliver 7,000 BTUs<br />
<strong>of</strong> heat per pound.<br />
One ton <strong>of</strong> these briquettes at 7,000 BTU<br />
can produce enough electricity for an average<br />
household for one month.<br />
“That is a good fuel value,” Dolan said.<br />
A good fuel value led to the next question.<br />
Does bagasse burn clean?<br />
In a word, yes.<br />
Dolan said there is zero sulfur dioxide emitted<br />
when the bagasse briquette is burned.<br />
Allen, who had contacted Wu a year before, ironically, after<br />
reading an article in the Advocate about Wu’s research.<br />
“Wu’s research sounded like it <strong>of</strong>fered the perfect solution to<br />
recycling oil containers,” Cadigan said.<br />
Wu has spent his research career creating wood-plastic composites<br />
using waste products from the agricultural <strong>and</strong> forestry<br />
industry including wood chips, sugarcane bagasse <strong>and</strong> rice<br />
hulls.<br />
In 2006, Wu’s research team received an $800,000 grant from<br />
the U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Agriculture</strong> <strong>and</strong> the U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
Energy to create composite products that can be commercialized<br />
in Louisiana. Wallace had been one <strong>of</strong> the Louisiana busi-<br />
ness owners Wu had approached with ideas for new products.<br />
In reading about Wu’s <strong>and</strong> Cadigan’s project, Parker saw<br />
immediate application for the composite material that included<br />
plastic oil containers as an ingredient in the drilling fluid “mud”<br />
used in drilling for oil <strong>and</strong> gas. He himself had been trying to<br />
develop the perfect mud additive that could effectively seal <strong>of</strong>f<br />
fractures in the earth <strong>and</strong> permeable formations.<br />
The drilling mud both lubricates <strong>and</strong> cools the drill bit as it<br />
goes down into the earth, sometimes as far as 30,000 feet or<br />
In addition to the low emissions, the anticipated<br />
cost <strong>of</strong> production is about $8 to $10 a<br />
ton.<br />
It’s too soon to say what the open market<br />
will pay for a ton <strong>of</strong> compressed bagasse but<br />
Dolan said conditions are favorable.<br />
One plus that is sure to thrill farmers:<br />
Racel<strong>and</strong> Raw Sugar will want the entire<br />
cane stalk, leaves <strong>and</strong> all, delivered to the<br />
mill. That means producers will not have to<br />
run the gas-guzzling cane combine blowers<br />
to separate the refuse from the cane.<br />
“When the farmer turns <strong>of</strong>f the blowers, he<br />
has at least 50 percent fuel savings,” Dolan<br />
said.<br />
Dolan, South African by birth, is a real<br />
h<strong>and</strong>s-on engineer.<br />
“There’s always a lot <strong>of</strong> talk about research<br />
<strong>and</strong> development,” Dolan says. “But it’s time<br />
to stop the research <strong>and</strong> do the development.”<br />
With any luck, Dolan <strong>and</strong> the Racel<strong>and</strong><br />
Raw Sugar Corporation will have a real winner<br />
on their h<strong>and</strong>.<br />
LSU AgCenter develops new product<br />
Qinglin Wu, pr<strong>of</strong>essor in the School <strong>of</strong> Renewable<br />
Natural Resources, has patented a process for<br />
developing material made from recycled plastics<br />
that can be used in the oil <strong>and</strong> gas industry to prevent<br />
lost circulation. (Photo by John Wozniak)<br />
more. Ideally, the mud comes back up with the drill cuttings<br />
after the tunnel is dug. But when the mud seeps away, that’s<br />
called “lost circulation” <strong>and</strong> is a huge, expensive problem.<br />
“This costs money for the oil <strong>and</strong> gas industry, <strong>and</strong> it’s not<br />
good for the environment,” Wu said.<br />
Other drilling fluid ingredients on the market are not as good<br />
at filling <strong>and</strong> sealing <strong>of</strong>f cracks <strong>and</strong> porous areas as Tiger<br />
Bullets, Parker said. One reason is Wu’s patented process<br />
allows the material to be custom-made into multiple-sized particles<br />
to fit the particular geology <strong>of</strong> the drilling operation. The<br />
varying-sized material can immediately seal <strong>of</strong>f <strong>and</strong> plug any<br />
size fissure or surface porosity, preventing seepage.<br />
Wu’s material has been used successfully with all three types<br />
<strong>of</strong> drilling fluid – synthetic, water-based <strong>and</strong> oil-based. Parker<br />
has tested the Tiger Bullets in oil drilling operations in the<br />
mountains <strong>of</strong> Colorado, the plains <strong>of</strong> Arkansas <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong>f-shore in<br />
the Gulf <strong>of</strong> Mexico, <strong>and</strong> they perform well.<br />
“Wu did a great job <strong>of</strong> simulating the effects <strong>of</strong> drilling in the<br />
laboratory. His technology came <strong>of</strong>f the drawing board <strong>and</strong><br />
worked in the real world better than expectations,” Parker said.<br />
Tiger Bullets’ environmental advantage is another selling<br />
point. Although Wu’s technology can use any kind <strong>of</strong> plastic<br />
waste in the material, used plastic motor oil containers work<br />
perfectly.<br />
“There are few current uses for the oil container plastics, <strong>and</strong><br />
they are very expensive to get rid <strong>of</strong>,” Wu said. “This is not a<br />
problem with out process because the material is converted to a<br />
green, proprietary blend <strong>of</strong> materials to make a lost circulation<br />
material that does not contain any free oil.”<br />
Cadigan said Louisiana produces more oil containers than<br />
probably any other state. So having them come back to the state<br />
after they’ve been used <strong>and</strong> create new business <strong>and</strong> jobs is the<br />
perfect “cradle to cradle” scenario.<br />
Cadigan credits Kelsey Short with the Louisiana Economic<br />
Development <strong>of</strong>fice with helping connect Wallace with the<br />
Northeast Louisiana Economic Development Alliance, which<br />
provided some funding for Wallace’s new equipment.<br />
Like the rest <strong>of</strong> the economy, the oil business is down right<br />
now, but it will bounce back <strong>and</strong> bring with it a bright future for<br />
Hole Pluggers.<br />
“The LSU AgCenter has a history <strong>of</strong> conducting research<br />
with practical application for industry,” said David Boethel,<br />
LSU AgCenter vice chancellor for research. “This is another<br />
example.”<br />
And both Parker <strong>and</strong> Cadigan agree it pays to read the newspaper.

Horsing around with Pam Kaster<br />
There is something about the outside outside<br />
<strong>of</strong> a horse that is good<br />
for the inside <strong>of</strong> a man. ~Winston ~Winston<br />
Churchill<br />
Abby Theriot <strong>and</strong> Smokey served as models so workshop attendees<br />
could test out their newfound equine photography skills.<br />
By Laura Pursnell-Lindsay<br />
There is a special bond between people<br />
<strong>and</strong> their horses that equine photographer<br />
<strong>and</strong> children's book author Pam Kaster has a<br />
knack for capturing on film.<br />
Kaster shared her secrets <strong>of</strong> taking great<br />
horse photos at an equine photography clinic<br />
she conducted at the 40th annual<br />
Louisiana 4-H, Future Farmers <strong>of</strong> America<br />
state horse show that was held July 6-11 in<br />
West Monroe at the Ike Hamilton Expo<br />
Center.<br />
Kaster, a Zachary resident, is a member <strong>of</strong><br />
the Equine Photographers Network,<br />
National Association <strong>of</strong> Photoshop<br />
Photographers <strong>and</strong> trained under famed<br />
German equine photographer Gabrielle<br />
Boiselle. Most recently, Kaster was named<br />
the winner <strong>of</strong> the 2008 American Society for<br />
the Prevention <strong>of</strong> Cruelty to Animals Henry<br />
Bergh® Children's Book Award for her<br />
book "Molly the Pony - A True Story."<br />
Kaster, a horsewoman, said when she took<br />
up photography as a hobby, human subjects<br />
were <strong>of</strong> little interest to her.<br />
"When I started I found my horses more<br />
interesting to photograph than people,"<br />
Kaster said. "Since my gr<strong>and</strong>daughter was<br />
born, I've had a change <strong>of</strong> heart; she's now<br />
my favorite human model to photograph."<br />
More than a dozen eager horse <strong>and</strong> photography<br />
enthusiasts attended the Monroe<br />
workshop. They were armed with an array<br />
<strong>of</strong> digital cameras from little point <strong>and</strong> shoot<br />
cameras to fancy digital<br />
single lens reflex (SLR)<br />
models with all the bells<br />
<strong>and</strong> whistles. They were<br />
anxious to learn techniques<br />
to improve their<br />
photography skills.<br />
Kaster said aspiring<br />
photographers should<br />
have the basic essentials,<br />
like a 70-200 mm lens,<br />
the camera owner's manual,<br />
card reader <strong>and</strong> a<br />
computer.<br />
"You don't need to have<br />
a high-end digital camera to take great photographs,"<br />
Kaster said. "Point <strong>and</strong> shoots<br />
Pam Kaster<br />
can produce great pictures, but as your skill<br />
level improves, you may find your point <strong>and</strong><br />
shoot limiting <strong>and</strong> decide to upgrade to a<br />
camera that affords you more flexibility."<br />
Kaster said distortion, lighting <strong>and</strong> distracting<br />
background are common problems<br />
that most beginner photographers don't recognize<br />
at first.<br />
Avoid shooting when the<br />
sun is directly overhead.<br />
Ideally you want to shoot<br />
either early in the morning or<br />
late in the evening, Kaster<br />
said. "After the sun goes<br />
down there's about a 10<br />
minute window where the<br />
lighting is just magical."<br />
Kaster said some horses<br />
are easier to shoot than others.<br />
"I believe white horses are<br />
the best horses in the world<br />
to photograph," Kaster said.<br />
"They reflect the light where black horses<br />
suck the light out <strong>of</strong> an image so you must<br />
accommodate by adjusting your lighting <strong>and</strong><br />
speed."<br />
Kaster suggests composing your image to<br />
avoid distracting backgrounds, for instance<br />
removing a trash can from the frame.<br />
Kaster recommended shooting through a<br />
stall door or alley way to create a beautiful<br />
silhouetted image.<br />
Following the lecture, Kaster <strong>and</strong> the clinic<br />
attendees put their newfound knowledge<br />
to the test <strong>and</strong> photographed 13-year-old<br />
Abby Theriot <strong>of</strong> Bourg riding her horse<br />
Smokey. The group did their best to use<br />
Kaster's recommendations.<br />
One participant said she can't wait to get<br />
home <strong>and</strong> photograph her horses.<br />

www.bayouponytales.com.<br />
Future equine photography workshops are<br />
currently being considered. For more information,<br />
visit www.LSUAgCenter.com.<br />
A new addition to this year's horse show<br />
was a commemorative painting based on<br />
one <strong>of</strong> Kaster's photographs by artist Geri<br />
Heurtin.
