The energy audit is an effective tool to explore the relationship between the energy consumed and production.

The wide variations in energy intensity of these cashew mills reveal the scope for energy conservation to be in the order of 30 to 48%. A wide disparity in energy consumption to produce the same quantity of similar products in cashew processing was observed. The cutting and shelling operation performed in the mill generates huge quantity of the cashew nut shell that is, about 67% of total weight of raw cashew nut seeds. The steaming of raw cashew nut seed prior to cutting and shelling operation is widely adopted method in small-scale cashew nut processing mills. The most energy and time intensive unit operations in cashew processing are drying of raw seed in open sun, steaming of raw nut and kernel drying with electrical energy. The cashew mill in India employed different unit operations/methodology for processing and depending on variety of raw material, location, technological mechanization, and availability of secured energy supply. India processed about 11,38,000 tones of raw cashew nut seeds through 3650 cashew processing mills scattered in many states of country. Total area in India under cashew cultivation is about 8,68,000 ha with annual production of 6,65,000 tons giving average productivity 860 kg per hectare. India is the largest producer and processor of cashews ( Anacardium occidentale L.) in the world. Its suitability as a supplementary fuel for thermal application TheĪvailability and fuel analysis of the cashew shell as a fuel revealed The thermogravimetricĪnalysis revealed that 85% weight of cashew nut shell has beenĭegraded at 500 ∘C and in 13 minutes. The average higher calorific value of the cashew nut Total weight of cashew seed, which can be utilized as fuel for thermalĮnergy supply. In small-scale cashew processing industries was found to be 67.5% of Process with average energy consumption accounted to be 2969.7 MJ perġ000 kg of raw cashew seed. The small-scale cashew processing industries followed steam-cooking The thermogravimetric analysis of theĬashew shell was carried out using TG-FTIR withġ0 ∘C/minute heating rate. The calorific value of the cashew shell was carried out usingīomb calorimeter (ASTME 711). Of cashew shell waste was carried out using ASTMD 73–75 The Main operations in the Cashew Nut Processing are :The energy and mass flow of the steam cooking operation of three readilyĭefined small-scale cashew processing industries was studied toĮstimate the availability of cashew nut shell.
