What is press mud, and why do sugar mills favour it?
sourced
Press mud, or filter cake, is the residue left after sugarcane juice is clarified. It yields roughly 140-160 cubic metres of biogas per tonne and, crucially, arrives in bulk at a single site - which removes the aggregation problem that starves plants running on scattered residues.
