2.5 Proposed schedule for approval and implementation
The project commissioning activities will start after getting Environmental Clearance (EC) from
MoEFCC, New Delhi and relevant consents from UPPCB. Tentative time for commissioning of
the project will be within 3 years.
PLEASE PROVIDE TIME OF COMPLETION IN MONTHS
convert the slurry into a hydrated, sterilized suspension (as starch molecule is solubilized) and
will be therefore susceptible to enzyme attack for liquefaction. The liquefied mash is cooled in
slurry cooler and transferred to Fermentation section.
C) Fermentation Section
The purpose of fermentation is to convert the fermentable substrate into alcohol. To prepare
the mash for fermentation, it will be diluted with water. Yeast will be added in sufficient
quantity to complete fermentation to produce alcohol.
At the start of the cycle, the fermenter will be charged with mash and contents of the Yeast
Activation Vessel (Pre-fermenter). Significant heat release will take place during fermentation.
This will be removed by passing the mash through heat exchangers to maintain an optimum
temperature. The recirculation pumps also serve to empty the fermenters into Beer Well. CO2
evolved during fermentation will carry along with it some entrained alcohol. This CO2 is taken
to a CO2 scrubber where it will be washed with water to remove the entrained alcohol. The
scrubbed CO2 can then be taken to CO2 plant or vented out. After emptying of fermenter, it
will be cleaned with CIP using cleaning nozzles. After CIP fermenter is ready for next batch to
be filled.
D) MPR Distillation Wash to ENA:
Multi-Pressure Distillation system has eight Distillation columns operating at various pressure
conditions. Heat energy from columns operating under high pressure is utilized for columns
operating under low pressure to optimize the operation for energy consumption. Following
Columns will be under operation
Analyser Column
Degasifying Column
Pre-Rectifier Column
Exhaust Column
Extractive Distillation Column
Rectifier cum Exhaust Column
Recovery Column
Simmering Column
Pre-heated fermented wash will be fed at the top of the Degasifying column. Analyser Column
will be provided with re boiler. Top vapors of Analyser column containing all the alcohol in the
wash will be sent to Pre-Rectifier column. Rest of the fermented wash will flow down the
Analyser column and will be taken out as thick slops from Analyser column bottom. Low
boiling impurities will be concentrated in the Pre-Rectifier column. A draw of impure alcohol
will be taken out from the top of the Pre-Rectifier column. RS draw will be taken from the top
of Pre rectifier column, which further will be sent to Extractive Distillation column. Dilution
water will be fed to this column. The Extractive Column operates on the principle of inversion
of relative volatility. Low boiling impurities will be separated in the Extractive Distillation
Column & bottom will be sent to Rectifier cum Exhaust column. The Rectifier/Exhaust column
will concentrate the alcohol to 96% v/v. The spirit will be drawn from the upper trays of the
Rectification Column. Fusel oil build up will be avoided in the Rectifier cum exhaust column by
withdrawing side streams (fusel oils). ED condensates, fusel oil draw from R/E column will be
sent to Recovery column where these fusel oils will be concentrated and then sent to
decanter where these streams will be diluted with water and fusel oil rich layer will be
separated. Washings will be sent back to the column to recover alcohol. The spirit Draw from
the Rectifier column will be sent to the Simmering column where methanol will be separated
in the form of a cut from the top and ENA will be taken out from the bottom. ENA drawn from
the Simmering Column will be taken to the receiver after cooling in ENA cooler.
E) Decantation Section Excluding Decanter Centrifuges
Decantation section comprises of a Centrifuge Decanters (Client scope) for separation of
suspended solids from Thick slop coming out of Grain Distillation Plant. Wet cake will be
removed from bottom of Decanter. Thin slops coming out of Decanter will be collected in a
tank and partly recycled into the process & Evaporation for further concentration. The
concentrated thin slops called as Syrup will be mixed with Wet cake and sold in wet form as
cattle feed (DWGS) or the entire mixture will be dried in a DWGS Dryer and then sold in dry
form as Cattle feed (DDGS).
F) Integrated Evaporation
The suggested treatment scheme is a Multi Effect Evaporation Plant for Thin Slop Evaporation.
Shell & Tube type Evaporators with highly efficient liquid distributor working on the principle
of Falling Film and Forced circulation Evaporation will be used.
The product at the desired concentration of 40%w/w Total Solid will be obtained at the outlet
of the final effect. Each effect will be provided with recirculation cum transfer pumps. The
condensate from surface condensers will be collected in a common condensate pot. The
condensate will be transferred for further treatment / drain by using centrifugal pump. The
system will operate under vacuum. Water-ring vacuum pumps will be used to maintain a
desired vacuum. Cooling water from cooling tower will be used in the surface condensers for
condensing the vapors.
G) DWGS Dryer Section
Wet distiller’s grains shall be fed into the dryer housing at controlled rate through a suitable
feeding system. The Rotary Bundle will be enclosed in an insulated dryer housing and on its
outer flights will be fixed. Dry, saturated steam will be supplied to the bundle through rotary
joint at one end & the condensate will be discharged through rotary joint mounted of another
end. During the course of rotation, these flights pick up the material and shower them on to
the tube bundles. The heat transfer will be primarily by conduction. The water vapors will be
exhausted through an Exhaust Blower & passed through a cyclone separator for separating
fines. Dry product partially recycled back to feed conditioner for feed conditioning through
Product Screw & Recycle Conveyor. Entire operation of the Dryer will be controlled through
OPERATIONS
Proposed 4.5 MW co-generation plant consists of a high pressure water tube steam boiler
extraction cum condensing steam turbine. Fuel in the steam boiler will be burnt with the help
of air in the boiler furnace. Water will be circulated in the boiler drum and tubes thus getting
heated by the flame burning in the boiler furnace. Water comes out of the boiler drum located
at the top of the boiler as steam. Flue gases rise in the boiler furnace and come in contact with
the steam coming out of boiler drum. Steam after coming in contact with flue gases gets
heated up further thus getting superheated. Super heated steam leaves the boiler in a pipe.
Flue gases after super heating the steam pass through economizer where they pre-heat the
boiler feed water before it enters the boiler drum. After economizer, flue gases pass through
air pre-heaters where they heat the air which is fed to the boiler furnace for burning the fuel.
After air pre heaters flue gases pass through an ESP where the dust particles are collected on
charged electrodes. The dust is collected from the bottom of the ESP.
High pressure superheated steam from boiler is passed through a steam turbine, which is used
for distillery process operations. While passing through the turbine, the high pressure and
temperature steam rotates the turbine rotor and an electric alternator mounted on the same
shaft. Electric power is generated by the alternator. This electric power generated is
consumed in house i.e. for running the distillery and utilities like boilers auxiliaries etc.
2.9 ASSESSMENT OF NEW & UNTESTED TECHNOLOGY FOR THE RISK OF TECHNOLOGICAL
FAILURE
For this proposed project of grain based distillery and malt spirit plant as well as co-generation
power plant, no new or untested technology will be used. The whole process will be based on
proven technology i.e. Multi Pressure distillation with Integrated Evaporation followed by
DDGS dryer.
