workers exposed to high noise level.
 D.G. sets will be provided with acoustic to control the noise level within the prescribed
limit.
 Proper maintenance, oiling and greasing of machines at regular intervals will be done
to reduce generation of noise.
 Greenbelt of appropriate width inside the plant premises and at the plant boundary
will be developed.
 Regular monitoring of noise level will be carried out and corrective measures in
concerned machinery are also being done.
Solid & Hazardous Waste Management
 During Grain based operation: Solid waste from the grain based operations generally
comprises of fibres and proteins in the form of DDGS, which will be ideally used as
Cattle Feed. Yeast sludge will be sent to the sludge drying beds or may be added to the
wet cake.
 Ash from the boiler will be given to brick manufacturing unit.
 Used oil & grease generated from plant machinery/gear boxes as hazardous waste will
be sold out to the CPCB authorized recyclers.

2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT

The present proposal is to set up a distillery using grains as raw material. The product ethanol
is intended for use in blending with petrol under EBP Programme. The project is
predominantly grain based and is environment friendly. CO2 will be the by-product which will
be collected, liquefied stored and sold to other users.
Grains such as damaged grain feed stock, broken rice, maize, bajra & sorghum will be used as
raw material which is easily available from the local market.
“The project falls under Category ‘B2’ of Schedule 5 (ga), As per the Notification S.O. 2339
(E), dated:-16th June., 2021 and will be appraised by EAC (Industry-II), MoEFCC, New
Delhi”
2.3 NEED OF THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND/OR REGION.

Fuel Ethanol is basically used for blending petrol supplied by Oil marketing companies (OMCs).
The proposed project will contribute to narrow the gap of demand/ supply of Indian made
Fuel ethanol. Govt. of India has mandated 10% blending of Ethanol in Petrol by 2022 so as to
reduce dependence on imported Crude Oil and to provide a cleaner fuel. The project will help
fulfilling the demand for Ethanol. In addition it, this will also provide employment.
This will also increase income of farmers as other feedstock such as cereals like rice, wheat,
barley, corn etc., to be used for production of Fuel Ethanol for benefiting a large population of
farmers. GOI is encouraging projects to produce ethanol from grains.
2.4 DEMAND – SUPPLY GAP
Currently the petrol sold in the country has above 5% of ethanol, Biofuel extracted from
various locally available sources. India is on the path of achieving a 10% blending target by
2022 which is at present approx. 5% only. Government of India has fixed a target of 10%
blending of fuel ethanol with Petrol by 2022, 15% blending by 2026 and 20% blending by
2030. Government of India is also planning to prepone the achievement of 20% blending
target by year 2025. India is one of the largest importers of crude oil. The indigenous
production of ethanol and its increasing blending in petrol will keep reducing this
requirement of imported crude oil. As per the survey, blending of 20% ethanol with petrol can
help to create economic activity of over Rs. 1 lakh Crore every year in the country and save
precious foreign exchange.
Figure:-2.1 Ethanol Demand Scenario

2.5 IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION
Our country is self-sufficient in its requirement of ethanol hence there is no import
requirement.
2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITY

The proposed quantity is expected to be consumed in our country only and no export potential
is envisaged
2.7 DOMESTIC / EXPORT MARKETS
Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoP&NG) vide its notification dated 20th September,
2006 directed the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to sell 5% Ethanol Blended Petrol subject
to commercial viability as per Bureau of Indian Standards specifications in notified 20 States
and 4 UTs with effect from 1st November, 2006. The additional 10 States included Delhi,
Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chandigarh, Kerala, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar
and Jharkhand. Market places such as New Delhi, Ghaziabad, Chandigarh, Pune, Surat and
Vadodara as well as chemical industries of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh & Haryana are the
potential domestic market for ethanol.
This programme has been extended to whole of India except Union Territories of Andaman
Nicobar and Lakshadweep islands with effect from 1st April, 2019, wherein OMCs sell petrol
blended with ethanol up to 10%. Thus, the demand of ethanol within India is such that the
production of it will be consumed domestically. At present no export is envisaged.
2.8 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT & INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT
The unit will need Technical qualified personals for organizing the production and then several
skilled workers for operating the unit and for working in workshop, etc. Besides all these types
of workers a number of semiskilled and unskilled workers will also be required for peripheral
activities like transport, logistics, engineering, Services, commercial services etc. Total
manpower required for the project is approx. 125 persons. Contractual manpower is 50
persons and Permanent manpower will be 75 persons.
Besides the production staff some more manpower shall be needed for administrative
purposes. The local untrained manpower also will be trained to slowly take up to the
Semiskilled and Skilled tasks. Initially the unskilled labor will be deployed from local area only.
Subsequently they will be trained to take up higher responsibilities.

3.5 PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS (A SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM/FLOW
CHART SHOWING THE PROJECT LAYOUT, COMPONENTS OF THE PROJECT ETC).
As part of this project, the following facilities will be established:
A) Grain Storage Silos, Cleaning, Handling and Milling Section
Grain is received from various sources and is pre-cleaned off stones, husk, etc. and then stored
in specially designed storage silos or in bags in storage yard. Grains are continuously lifted
from the bottom of the silos, screened and followed by removal of stones in de-stoner and iron
matters in magnetic separators. Cleaned Grains are then milled using dry milling process in
Hammer Mills. The flour is fed through the bucket elevator and conveyed to the flour silo.
B) Liquefaction Section
Grain flour is mixed with recycle streams and water in Pre-masher and slurry is fed to
Liquefaction tank. Required temperature is maintained by applying steam through steam
sparger in liquefaction tank. The cooking process, accomplished in the above manner, converts
the slurry into a hydrated, sterilized suspension (as starch molecule is solubilized) and is
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 is diluted with water. Yeast is added in sufficient quantity to
complete fermentation to produce alcohol. At the start of the cycle, the Fermenter is charged
with mash and contents of the Yeast Activation Vessel (Pre-fermenter). Significant heat release
takes place during fermentation. This is 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 carries along with it some
entrained alcohol. This CO2 is taken to a CO2 scrubber where it is 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 is cleaned with CIP using cleaning nozzles. After CIP Fermenter is
ready for next batch to be filled.
D) Distillation
Multi-Pressure Pre-heated fermented wash is fed into a series of distillation columns to
increase the alcohol concentration and remove various impurities
Distillation – (Wash to Ethanol Mode)
Following Columns will be under operation
 Analyser Column
 Degasifying Column
 Rectifier cum Exhaust Column
 Alcohol Scrubber
Molecular sieve dehydration plant (MSDH):
The Fermented wash is preheated in a fermented wash pre heater and fed to the analyzer
column. The vapors of the analyzer are fed to pre-rectifier column. Bottom liquid from pre-
rectifier column is fed to stripper column. Impure spirit and fuel oil liquid streams from
various columns are introduced in recovery column for processing. Steam is supplied at the
bottom of R/E column re-boiler, simmering column re-boiler and direct steam sparging is done
in the recovery column.
For the ethanol production top product of pre-rectifier is fed to purifier column whereas
bottom liquid is fed to impure spirit purification column. Alcohol from the top of purifier
column as well as fusel oil draws from pre-rectifier are fed to recovery. Final alcohol cut is
taken from the top of impure spirit purification column whereas ethanol is drawn from the
bottom of the simmering column.
Rectified Spirit containing at least 95% v/v alcohol is pumped from RS feed tank to
dehydration section for further purification to produce ethanol suitable for blending.
Superheated hydrous alcohol vapors are sent to twin adsorbent beds. The twin adsorbent beds
operate in cyclic manner. Twin beds are provided to allow for bed regeneration to ensure
continuous operation. While one bed is in dehydration mode, the other is in regeneration
mode. The Adsorbent Bed will absorb moisture present in feed vapors and dehydrated alcohol
vapors are released from bottom of the bed.
The vapors are passed through condenser where vapors are condensed. Condensed product
alcohol (@ 99% v/v strength as required for fuel blending) is collected in product receiver.
Ethanol is now suitable for petrol blending, is stored and dispatched to oil companies unit for
blending with petrol.

E) Decantation:
Spent wash after distillation is fed to Centrifuge Decanter for separation of suspended solids.
Wet cake is removed from bottom of Decanter.
Thin slops from decanter is partly recycled into the process and rest is evaporated for further
concentration. The concentrated thin slops called as Syrup is mixed with Wet cake and sold in
wet form as cattle feed (DWGS).
Alternatively the entire mixture can 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 are being used. The product at the desired
concentration of 30%w/w Total Solid is obtained at the outlet of the final effect. Each effect is
provided with recirculation cum transfer pumps. The condensate from surface condensers is
collected in a common condensate pot. The condensate is transferred for further treatment by
using centrifugal pump. The system operates under vacuum. Water-ring vacuum pumps are
used to maintain a desired vacuum. Cooling water from cooling tower is used in the surface
condensers for condensing the vapours.
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 is enclosed in an insulated dryer housing and on its outer
flights are fixed. Dry, saturated steam is to be supplied to the bundle through rotary joint at one
end & the condensate is 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 is primarily by conduction. The water vapors are 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 is controlled through Local Indication cum
Control panel.
H) Process Condensate Treatment Section
The process condensate from the evaporation section is treated in this unit and this treated
condensate is then recycled back to process thus reducing the fresh water consumption.
I) Condensate polishing unit:
The rejects from various treatment plants like DM water plant and cooling tower blow down, ,
condensate from MEE, condensate from dryer etc will be collected in the collection tank and
treated to recover and reuse maximum possible quantity of water and ensure zero discharge.
All streams collected in the tank, first fed to the clarifier in which chemical treatment (lime and

dolomite treatment) will be given to remove suspended solids, hardness and silica. After this
chemical treatment clarified water is first filtered through media-based filter and sent to
membrane process system consisting of Ultra Filtration and Reverse Osmosis (RO). RO
permeate is recycled back to process. R O rejects will be sent to PCTP
Figure: 3.4 Process Block flow diagram of Grain based Distillery
Co-Generation Power Plant (9 MW) operations

General principle of boiler: - Steam boiler (AFBC)
This Boiler (1 x 50 TPH) will operate mainly to feed steam to Distillery and 9 MW power
generation from Turbine. Proposed 9 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 ESP where the dust particles are
collected. The dust is collected from here.

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 boiler auxiliaries etc. Surplus power will
be exported to Grid.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION OF CONDENSATE POLISHING UNIT (CPU)
FILTER FEED PUMPS -Function Filter feed pumps are used to take the water from the clarified
water sump and pass it through the pressure sand filter and activated carbon filter installed in
series.
DUAL MEDIA FILTER-Function the Dual media filter is used as a tertiary treatment unit to
trap the trace amounts of solids which escape the clarifier, and can typically handle up to 50
mg/l of solids in an economical manner. This unit is essentially a Dual media filter is filled with
graded media (sand and gravel). The water filtered with Dual media filter is passed on to the
next stage in the STP chain: The Activated Carbon Filter.
Multi Grade Filter consists of vertical or horizontal pressure sand filters that contain multiple
layers of coarse and fine sand (pebbles and gravels) in a fixed proportion. It is a kind of a deep
filter bed with adequate pore dimensions for retaining both large and small suspended solids
and un-dissolved impurities like dust particles. As compared to conventional sand water filter,
this multigrade filtration system works on higher specific flow rates. It is also a low cost pre-
treatment system for ion exchangers (deionizer and softener) and membrane systems such as
reverse osmosis etc. With high throughputs, high dirt-holding capacity and capacity to reduce
turbidity and TSS (< 5ppm) from water, it protects ion-exchange resins and membranes from
physical fouling due to suspended impurities present in the water. The working principle of a
multigrade filter is quite straight forward. In a multigrade filter or pressure sand filter, water is
passed through multi layers of filter media consisting graded sand, pebbles and gravels layers.
The contaminants in the water are captured in the media bed and filtered water passes into the
discharge manifold at the bottom of the tanks. The next and last step is backwashing, a process

of effectively removal of captured contaminants from the media bed. After back-washing the
filter is rinsed with raw water and after the required quality of water is achieved the filter is
put back into service.
ACTIVATED CARBON FILTERS: Carbon filtering is a method of filtering that uses a bed of
activated carbon to remove contaminants and impurities, using chemical adsorption. Each
particle/granule of carbon provides a large surface area/pore structure, allowing contaminants
the maximum possible exposure to the active sites within the filter media. Activated carbon
water treatment is basically used for two water treatment purposes and each work in totally
different ways:
CHLORINE REMOVAL: Activated carbon may be used to remove chlorine with little
degradation or damage to the carbon. Dechlorination occurs rapidly and flow rates are
typically high. However, this process requires an extensive amount of surface area, and
organics in the water will eventually fill up and block the pores of the carbon. Ultimately, the
AC filter will need to be replaced as its ability to de-chlorinate the water will slowly decline.
Spent carbon can be re-activated; however, re-activated filters should only be used in
wastewater treatment applications. One advantage to using AC is its low operating cost and
virtual “fail safe” operation once installed. One disadvantage is that as the chlorine is removed
from the topmost layer of the media, the AC provides a damp environment ideal for the growth
and proliferation of bacteria. Bacteria can cause problems in medical applications, or when
using carbon as a pre-treatment to reverse osmosis.
REMOVAL OF ORGANIC MATTER: As water passes through an activated carbon filter, organic
particles and chemicals are trapped inside through a process known “adsorption”. The
adsorption process depends upon 5 key factors:
 Physical properties of the activated carbon (surface area and pore size distribution);
 The chemical makeup of the carbon source (amount of hydrogen and oxygen);
 The chemical makeup and concentration of the contaminant;
 Water pH and temperature; and
 The length of time the water is exposed to the activated carbon filter (called empty bed
contact time or EBCT).
Additional considerations for organics removal are discussed below.
MICRON FILTER- Microfiltration is a type of physical filtration process where a contaminated
fluid is passed through a special pore-sized membrane to separate microorganisms and
suspended particles from process liquid. It is commonly used in conjunction with various other
separation processes such as ultra-filtration and osmosis to provide a product stream which is
free of undesired contaminants. Microfiltration usually serves as a pre-treatment for other
separation processes such as ultra-filtration, and a post-treatment for granular media
filtration. The typical particle size used for microfiltration ranges from about 0.1 to 10 μm. In
terms of approximate molecular weight these membranes can separate macromolecules of

molecular weights generally less than 100,000 g/mol. The filters used in the microfiltration
process are specially designed to prevent particles such as, sediment, algae, protozoa or large
bacteria from passing through a specially designed filter. More microscopic, atomic or ionic
materials such as water (H2O), mono valent species such as Sodium (Na+) or Chloride (Cl−)
ions, dissolved or natural organic matter, and small colloids and viruses will still be able to pass
through the filter.
REVERSE OSMOSIS - Reverse osmosis is a membrane separation unit. It is the forced passage
of water through a membrane against the natural osmotic pressure to accomplish separation of
water and ions. Micron cartridge filter of 5 micron is incorporated to RO Plant prevention of
suspended particles going to membrane. The Micron filter is provided in series mode for better
control of Silt Density Index (SDI). Reverse Osmosis process is a membrane process in which
used to separate water from dissolved impurities. A semi-permeable membrane separates a
dilute and concentrate solution of salts, due to osmosis, the water from the dilute solution side
passes through the membrane to the concentrated side till osmotic equilibrium is attained.
Now, if the osmotic pressure is reduced by Appling high pressure at the concentrated side, the
process reverses the direction of flow of water and water from the concentrated side enters the
dilute side. This process is called the Reverse Osmosis. It is very essential to ensure that the
water feed to reverse osmosis membranes is free from Particulate matter to prevent
membrane fouling. Also, the water should be free from organic Matter, heavy metals and
oxidizing agents like free chlorine. The reject water from the RO Plant will then be sent for
other plant usages.

PLANNING BRIEF
5.1 PLANNING CONCEPT (TYPE OF INDUSTRIES, FACILITIES, AND TRANSPORTATION
ETC.) TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING/DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY CLASSIFICATION.
Proposed industry is a grain based distillery. Facilities required for the project will be provided
as per requirement. Transportation of raw material and final product will be done via existing
road network and cement concrete road will be developed within the plant premises.
Proposed project activities will be started after getting statutory clearance form related
authorities. The project will be completed in 2022-2023. Further proposed project activities
will be carried out in compliance with all the rules and regulation of statutory authority and
provide the control measure and devices to achieve the standard norms.
5.2 EMPLOYMENT & POPULATION PROJECTION
The industry will provide employment to about 125 peoples. Since the plant is located in the
Ambala district in which trained manpower are already available therefore the employment
will be mostly given to local people therefore there is not going to be any substantial increase
in the population of local villages. However, due to increase economic growth the local youth
will get employed and additional population influx of around 200-300 people in the 10 km
radius of plant can at best be estimated, which includes the addition of persons dependent on
the job seeking persons.
5.3 LAND USE PLANNING (BREAKUP ALONG WITH GREEN BELT ETC.).
Total land is 5.26 Ha. This land is sufficient for the setup of the Green Field Grain based
distillery project. 33.0% land has been earmarked for plantation and greenbelt as per
standard norms. Table below gives the % area used in the plant. The tentative land area
statement of proposed project is given as below:-

“2500 trees/Ha will be planted for green belt development.”

5.4 ASSESSMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEMAND (PHYSICAL & SOCIAL)

 The proposed project is Green Field project of Distillery project activity for which no
substantial additional infrastructure is required. The available road network and
natural sources of water supply and drainage system are adequate;
 It is proposed to adopt rain water harvesting practice within the plant and in
surrounding villages;
 Only roof top water inside the plant will be recharged to ground after proper cleaning.
Rain water falling on paved and green areas within the plant will be cleaned, stored
inside and reused.
 Power will be sourced from in house CPP;
 The DG sets with about 1 x 500 kVA and 1 x 250 KVA will be installed for emergency
backup supply to meet the contingencies of power cut and power failure. Thus, no
additional emergency arrangement is required;
 There is no other major infrastructural requirement for the project.
5.5 AMENITIES / FACILITIES
The necessary arrangement for proposed project for meeting water supply for drinking
purposes, toilet facilities for workers as well as inward/outward transport operators, parking
facilities, as well as small canteen for workers and guests will be created. A canteen with rest

given in land use statement.
6.2 RESIDENTIAL AREA (NON-PROCESSING AREA)
There is no proposal of any residential colony as the required manpower will be sourced from
local populace. Few highly skilled posts may be filled from outsiders for whom houses will be
leased in nearby residential area. Non-processing area will comprise of facilities within the
premises such as – administrative block, road & pollution control equipment area etc. Other
social infrastructure like housing, schooling and medical facilities area already developed in
nearby area, hence, no residential colony/township is envisaged for employees.
6.3 GREEN BELT
A greenbelt of 4.29 Acres (33.0 %) will be developed in the plant premises. 10m–20m wide
greenbelt will be developed around the plant premises.
Site Preparation: The location earmarked for greenbelt shall be fenced. The soil quality of the
plant area is fit for plantation.
Plant propagation: Nursery raised saplings of 2–3 feet height of trees and shrubs will be
purchased from local nursery and Forest Dept.
Plantation: This will include digging pits with proper spacing, filling pits with prepared soil,
plantation of seedlings and watering. The size of the pit will be 1m x 1m x 1 m for trees and 0.5
m x 0.5 m x 0.5 m for shrubs.
The pits will be filled with soil mixture. The soil will be irrigated soaking wet prior to placing of
seedling. The water required for greenbelt development will be met from the treated effluents
generated during plant operation. During construction period water supply will be met from
available sources.
Plantation will start from the beginning of construction activity (after the site is made clear
and demarcating the green portion). Soil proposed to be filled in the pit after plantation will be
mixed with compost (1:1). Plantation will be done after first rainfall. Adequate protection will
be ensured for achieving high survival rate of the planted saplings. Water and nutrients /
manure will be given at appropriate intervals.
Total Trees required as per CPCB/MoEF&CC Norms@2,500/Ha = 1.74 x 2,500 = 4,350 No’s
