What is it about?
Vinasse, which has been traditionally distributed on the agricultural soil as an organic fertilizer, is the main residue of the ethanol production. Its dosage has been annually rationed in function of the potassium balance for reuse in agriculture

Why is it important?
Ethanol is an alternative fuel produced from sugarcane and economically very important for São Paulo state and Brazil
Perspectives
The main contributions are the reduction in the water content (concentration) and increase in the solid and the potassium content (13.8%). The study showed a payback value of 5.49 years.
