Demand – Supply Gap:
The use of alcohol as a drink is an age-old story. It appears that in India the technique for
fermentation and distillation was available even in the Vedic times. Alcohol is an integral part
of the Ayurvedic system of medicine also.

Carew & Co. Ltd. set up the first distillery in the country at Cownpore (Kanpur) in 1805 for
manufacture of Rum for the British army. The technique of fermentation, distillation and
blending of alcoholic beverages was developed in India on the lines of practices adopted
overseas, particularly in Europe.
The original use of alcoholic fermentation was of course for preserving fruit juices. Now the
fermentation is adapted for the preparation of fermented grain beverages and then distilled
beverages. The utilization of Ethanol, for industrial use is a recent phenomenon. It became
important towards the end of the Second World War.
When large-scale production of alcoholic beverages was taken up, various Governments
found that alcohol was a good source for increasing government revenue through collection
of tax. When synthetic organic chemistry advanced rapidly, about a century ago, alcohol
became an indispensable chemical for this industry. However extensive manufacturing of
alcohol for industrial use was hampered due to excessive taxes. The problem was to device
a means for conserving government’s interest in tax collection on potable alcohol and at the
same time making alcohol for industrial use relatively free of tax. Thus different governments
introduced the process of denaturation of alcohol for industrial use.
During the Second World War, the demand for the industrial alcohol increased 4-5 times,
above the prewar period, due to the production of smokeless powder for weapons. The
imports of molasses were hampered due to war conditions. This leads to evolving the
process of grain fermentation for meeting the requirement of Ethanol.
In India, after the protection granted to the sugar Industry in 1932, a large number of sugar
factories were established in the country, particularly in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh
where irrigation facilities existed for cultivation of sugarcane. Increase in sugar production
resulted in accumulation of molasses, which resultantly, caused unmanageable
environmental problems. At that time the demand for molasses was almost insignificant and
the sugar mills had to incur considerable expenditure for disposal of molasses. For resolving
these problems a joint committee of U.P. and Bihar was constituted in 1938 to explore the
possibilities of using molasses for developing alcohol-based industries. The Committee
recommended establishment of distilleries for production of alcohol, utilizing molasses as a
substrate.
The committee also recommended that alcohol produced by the distilleries should be
admixed with petrol, to supplement motor fuel. This helped in solving the problems of
disposal of molasses. It also filled up the gap in the demand and supply of motor spirit.

As a result, after meeting alcohol requirement for manufacture of gasohol, substantial
quantity of alcohol was diverted for production of alcohol based chemicals.
Present Status Fossil fuels are declining. Transportation sector consumes more than 50% of the fuels.
Environmental degradation from these fuels is a major problem all over the world. World oil
production is expected to last till 2125 A.D., if consumption at the present level is
maintained. On this background the use of Ethanol for fuel blending should be given a top
priority.
India requires ethanol for the following three major purposes:-
For potable liquor
For industrial use
For fuel blending
Today, the distillery industry of India uses only molasses for manufacturing alcohol. There
are handful of grain distillery units (e.g. Seagram Manufacturing Ltd.) and the alcohol
produced by them is used for captive use to make value added liquors.
All other liquor (IMFL) manufacturers use alcohol produced from molasses. In advanced
countries, liquor for human consumption is made only from grain alcohol. It is known that
alcohol produced from molasses can have residues such as sulphates, sulphites, higher
aldehydes, higher alcohols, higher acids and ketones etc., which are not present in alcohol
from, grains.
However, no such above-mentioned distinction is made in India. Thus alcohol produced only
from one source i.e. molasses is used for all 3 purposes (liquor, industrial use, fuel
blending). There is an urgent need to bring in above quality consciousness in the IMFL
industry and appropriate policy measures by the Govt.
Today, Indian distillery industry broadly consists of two parts:
One is alcohol production from molasses for industrial alcohol and two alcohol production
from molasses for liquor purposes.
Ethanol demand for fuel blending is a recent phenomenon. For this purpose, alcohol from
molasses is used.

The potable distillery producing Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) has a steady but limited
demand. The alcohol produced is now being utilized in the ratio of approximately 52 per cent
for potable purpose and the balance 48 percent for industrial purpose.
Ethanol blending Ethanol blending is the practice of blending petrol with ethanol. Many countries, including
India, have adopted ethanol blending in petrol in order to reduce vehicle exhaust emissions
and also to reduce the import burden on account of crude petroleum from which petrol is
produced. It is estimated that a 5% blending (105 crore litres) can result in replacement of
around 1.8 million Barrels of crude oil . The renewable ethanol content, which is a byproduct
of the sugar industry, is expected to result in a net reduction in the emission of carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC). Ethanol itself burns cleaner and
burns more completely than petrol it is blended into. In India, ethanol is mainly derived by
sugarcane molasses, which is a by-product in the conversion of sugar cane juice to sugar.
The practice of blending ethanol started in India in 2001. Government of India mandated
blending of 5% ethanol with petrol in 9 States and 4 Union Territories in the year 2003 and
subsequently mandated 5% blending of ethanol with petrol on an all-India basis in November
2006 (in 20 States and 8 Union Territories except a few North East states and Jammu &
Kashmir). This was also an attempt to reduce the Under-recovery of Public Sector Oil
Marketing Companies (OMCs). Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, on 1 September,
2015, inter-alia has asked OMCs to target ten percent blending of ethanol in Petrol in as
many States as possible. In countries like US, blending is allowed upto 10%. Subsequent to
Brazil's bio-fuel programme, which began in 1976, close to 94% of cars sold in Brazil are
flexible fuel cars that can handle ethanol blends from 18 per cent upward .
Ethanol blending first found mention in the Auto fuel policy of 2003. It suggested developing
technologies for producing ethanol/ bio fuels from renewable energy sources and introducing
vehicles to utilise these bio fuels. Later, as per National Policy on Bio-fuels, announced in
December 2009, oil companies were required to sell petrol blended with at least 5% of
ethanol. It proposed that the blending level be increased to 20% by 2017.
Ethanol, being a by product of the sugar industry, was expected to be freely available.
However, Oil marketing companies (OMCs) were not even able to get bids for more than
50% of the amount offered for purchase . Further, the Government decided on 22.11.2012
that procurement price of ethanol will henceforth be decided between Oil Marketing
Companies (OMCs) and suppliers of ethanol. In addition, on 03.07.2013, it was decided that
ethanol would be procured only from domestic sources. This led to a rise in ethanol prices,

which to a great extent reportedly eroded the economy of the blend. At present, government
has permitted OMCs to implement the ethanol blending programme in notified 20 States and
4 Union Territories as per the availability of ethanol.
There are reportedly significant transaction barriers which impede smooth supplies of
ethanol for blending. In several States, State not only imposes levy on molasses but also
regulates the movement of non-levy molasses. Inter-state movement of ethanol requires No-
Objection-Certificates (NOCs) from the State Excise Authorities along with permits from
dispatching and receiving States. Most States impose ―Export/Import‖ duties on ethanol
leaving and entering their boundaries. There are some instances where Octroi is levied on
ethanol for entry into municipal limits. Hence States were requested by the Central
Government to liberalise restrictions on the supply of ethanol so that its blending with petrol
can be encouraged while improving the financial health of sugar sector and also liquidation
of cane dues of farmers.
As per the estimates given in Auto Fuel Vision and Policy 2025 issued in May 2014, blended
petrol is available only in 13 states and the average blend is 2%. During the sugar year
2014-15, OMCs have achieved a blending percentage of 2.3% as per the press release
dated 25 April 2016.
Hence, in order to improve the availability of ethanol, the Government, on December 10,
2014, fixed the price of Ethanol in the Range of Rs. 48.50 to Rs. 49.50, depending upon the
distance of distillery from the depot/installation of the OMCs. (The rates are inclusive of all
central and statutory levies, transportation cost etc, which would be borne by the Ethanol
suppliers). Fixation of ethanol price based on distance, has encouraged movement of
ethanol to longer distances, including States having lack of distilleries. Further, ethanol
produced from other non-food feedstocks besides molasses, like cellulosic and ligno
cellulosic materials including petrochemical route, has also been allowed to be procured
subject to meeting the relevant Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) specifications.

The purpose of fermentation is to convert the fermentable sugars into alcohol. During
fermentation, sugars are broken down into alcohol and carbon-di-oxide. Significant heat
release takes place during fermentation. However the fermentation temperature is
maintained at 32 – 35 0C by forced recirculation heat exchangers.
At the end of fermentation, the wash is fed through a yeast separator where the yeast cream
is separated, acidified in the yeast treatment tank and returned to the yeast activation vessel
for activation. Sludge is separated in a sludge decanter. The clear wash from both the yeast
separator and sludge separator flows to the clarified wash tank. The wash is then pumped to
distillation.
Distillation: Fermented Wash about 8% v/v alcohol is preheated in two stages i.e. in the beer heater
using the Rectifier vapours and then in the Fermented wash PHE using the effluent. The
preheated wash is then fed the Degasifying Column to remove residual CO2 and volatiles.
The wash then flows down to Analyser Column, which acts as a total stripper. The alcohol
water vapour mixture which rises upward in this column is fed to the Rectifier Column. The
spent wash, which is devoid of alcohol, flows down the Analyser Column for suitable
treatment.
The lower boiling impurities are concentrated in the Aldehyde Column where about 5% spirit
is drawn off as impure spirit with a minimum strength of 660 OP.
The alcohol vapours are concentrated in the Rectifier Column to produce Rectified Spirit of
95% v/v strength. Higher boiling impurities, which are formed during fermentation, are
removed by taking side draw purges to a decanter from the Rectifier Column. A trace stream
of spirit is drawn off as impure spirit (about 2% of plant capacity) to remove the concentrated
volatile compounds. The high grade Rectified Spirit is taken as a draw from the upper trays
of the Rectifier Column.
The Rectified spirit is fed to the purification column. Dilution water is fed on the top most tray
of the column with a dilution ratio of 1: 9. This column serves to remove the impurities based
on the principle of HYDROEXTRACTION. The water is fed to the column in such a way that
it selects the higher alcohols and other impurities to move upwards and extracts ethanol
down. The purifier bottom alcohol composition is maintained at 12 % v/v. At this
composition there is an inversion in relative volatiles of higher alcohols as compared to

ethanol and these alcohols get separated in the top distillate. Top draw for volatiles is fed to
the Fusel oil concentration column.
The purified dilute ethanol is removed from the bottom of the purification column and fed to
the rectification column, which concentrates the ethanol to 96% v/v. The high grade spirit is
drawn from one of the upper trays of the rectification column. A small heads cut is removed
from the overhead stream as technical alcohol (T.A.) cut to with draw impurities and is fed to
the heads concentration column. The lees from the exhaust column is recycled as dilution
water after a part of it is purged. The purged spentlees is used to preheat the make-up
dilution water.
Lower side draw streams are taken from rectification column to avoid fusel oil build up in the
column. These streams are then taken to the fusel oil column. This column concentrates
the dilute streams of ethanol containing esters and fusel oils to approximately 95% v/v of
ethanol. The concentrated ethanol is removed as T.A. cut from the top of the column. T.A.
cut is removed out of the system in order to remove propanol and remaining is fed to the
heads concentration column where the heads from the purification column and rectification
are fed to the static mixer. Soft water, which has been preheated, is used for diluting the
high proof ethanol. An impure spirit cut of about 5% of the rectified spirit feed is drawn from
the top of the column. The dilute ethanol solution at the bottom of this column is pumped
back to the purification column for repurification.
Carbon Dioxide Recovery System (By Product): Carbon dioxide produced during fermentation will be recovered by means of scrubbing
arrangement, chemical treatment drying process and finally liquefaction. The water utilized
for scrubbing will be recycled back into the fermentor.
CO2 gas will pass through scrubbing tower, where the gas is scrubbed with water. From the
scrubber after washing the gas will pass through air compressor and then the gas will pass
through a tower containing sodium dichromate to eliminate the impurities, if any and then to
drying arrangement with sulphuric acid. Subsequently it passes through a tower containing
coke coated with washing soda to eliminate odour. Finally it goes to the chilling unit to cool
the gas before passing through different cylinders, where the cooled gas will be filled into the
cylinders under pressure. The scrubber blowdown will be recycled into the fermenters.
Total CO2 production : 45.6 T/day
This carbon dioxide in cylinders will be sold to industries like soft drink manufacturing units,
etc.

Ethanol Production: This plant is filled with imported 3A grade Molecular Sieve. It is operated with vaporized
Alcohol and removes water completely. Then Molecular sieves are regenerated under
vacuum of 710 mm Hg. Feed Alcohol comes to this Plant in a Day Tank continuously from
bulk storage tank. From this tank alcohol is pumped to a steam vaporizer at 4 Kg/cm2
pressure. This is vaporized in a steam heater and then vapor is super heated to 160oC in a
super heater and taken to Molecular Sieve Unit. This super heated vapor now pressure
through one Molecular Sieve column for moisture removal. There are 2 Molecular Sieve
columns. At a time one column remain in drying cycle while other columns under goes
vacuum regeneration. Each column remains in cycle for 6 minutes. Here drying process
takes place at 3.0 Kg/cm2 pressure and dry alcohol vapor of 99.8% purity comes out as final
product. This alcohol vapor is condensed in a water cooler and then collected in another day
tank. From this tank dry alcohol is continuously pumped to bulk day storage tank through a
level controller and a control valve. In the regeneration process some left over alcohol also
comes out which is condensed in regeneration condenser. This alcohol is around 95%
strength and is re-cycled in to rectifier column continuously.
The other Molecular Sieves column under goes regeneration by a vacuum pump. In this
column vacuum pumps pulls and creates vacuum of 710 mm Hg. At this vacuum the
moisture from Molecular Sieve pores comes out and along with 30% pure alcohol from on
line Mole Sieve bed is sprayed. Thereafter during vacuum process, some left over alcohol
and water from Molecular Sieves comes out and is condensed. Concentration of this lean
alcohol is around 70% alcohol, which can be recycled to the Rectifying Column. From
Rectifier the pure water will be sent out automatically.
Grains as raw material
The following are the steps involved in the manufacturing Process for Ethanol /ENA /Pharma
grade production
1. Milling
2. Liquefaction
3. Saccharification
4. Fermentation
Cleaning & Milling
The Grain is first pre-cleaned for removing stones, dust and foreign materials with the help of
destoner and magnetic separators, before milling. Milling involves processing grain through
a hammer mill (with screens between 3.2 to 4.0 mm) to production grain flour.
Pharmol India Pvt. Ltd.
60 KLPD Distillery unit
Pre-Feasibility report
13
Liquefaction
The whole grain flour is slurred with water, and heat-stable enzyme (a-amylase) is added.
The slurry from the milling operation is cooked with steam and this is known as ―liquefaction‖
Liquefaction is accomplished using jet-cookers that inject steam into the grain flour slurry to
cook it at temperatures above 100°C (212°F).
Saccharification
After liquefaction, the slurry, now called ―Liquefied Grain Slurry,‖ is cooled to approximately
30°C (86°F), and a second enzyme, Glucoamylase is added. Glucoamylase completes the
breakdown of the starch into simple sugar (glucose).
Fermentation
In the fermentation step, yeast is added to the grain mash to begin the process of
converting the simple sugars to ethanol. The other components of the grain (protein, oil, etc.)
remain largely unchanged during the fermentation process. Duration of fermentation is
around 48hrs.
Distillation
The vacuum distillation or multi-pressure distillation has many advantages over conventional
atmospheric distillation. Vacuum Distillation has lower energy requirement, consistently
produces very high quality alcohol and less scaling of distillation trays due to sludge. The
vacuum distillation produces ethanol of international quality standards and there is a lot of
demand for ethanol produced from the vacuum distillation process. Hence we propose to
use Vacuum Distillation technology for the Distillation process.
Effluent Treatment System Proposed Effluent Treatment System: Multiple Effect Evaporation ―Zero Pollution Effluent
Treatment System for handling distillery effluent.‖ The system is based on evaporation and
drying technology
Multiple Effect Evaporation is an operation used to remove water from a solution,
suspension, or emulsion by boiling off some of the liquid. It is thus a thermal separation, or
thermal concentration, process. We define the evaporation process as one that starts with a
liquid product and ends up with a more concentrated liquid as the main product from the
process. Before feeding the Spent Wash to Evaporation, the solids are separated out using
The Centrifugal Decanter. The separated Solids are then fed to DDGS along with the
concentrated spent wash from the Evaporation section.

BIO-METHANATION
"CSTR" continuous flow stirred-tank reactor process will be adopted for Bio-methanation,
which is based on the concept of conversion of organic matter into biogas. The process of
conversion of organic matter into biogas occurs through a group of bacteria.
In 'CSTR' process, which is a high rate process, anaerobic digestion takes place in the
Mesophillic range of temperature, the pH inside the reactor is usually kept around 7.2 while
proper ratio of volatile acid and alkalinity is maintained.
The following three stages are involved in the process of anaerobic digestion
1. Hydrolysis: In the process of hydrolysis the complex molecular compounds i.e. polymers
are converted into the simple molecular form i.e. monomers.
2. Acidogenesis: The monomers so formed at the end of hydrolysis process are converted
into volatile fatty acids. Acetic acid forms the major portion of volatile fatty acids. The
process of conversion of monomers into acids is carried out by a group of anaerobic
bacteria known acid formers.
3. Methanogenesis: Acids produced at the end of Acidogenesis process are converted into
carbon dioxide and methane gases. The process of conversion of acid into gases is
carried out by group of anaerobic bacteria known as methane formers.
In CSTR process the bacteria responsible for digestion process are kept in suspension with
the help of Lateral as well as central mixers.

EVAPORATION PROCESS
Evaporation is an operation used to remove a liquid from a solution, suspension, or emulsion
by boiling off some of the liquid. It is thus a thermal separation, or thermal concentration,
process. Evaporation process can be defined as one that starts with a liquid product and ends
up with a more concentrated liquid as the main product from the process.
In first evaporation stage,
Bio-methanated Spent wash will be subjected to heat through steam
Spent wash vaporized in first stage will give energy to second stage.
There will be total four falling film evaporator and one forced circulation evaporator.
These Evaporators will be in forward feed arrangement.
Vapours of Second evaporator will be fed to third effect Evaporator. Vapours of Third
evaporator will be fed to fourth effect Evaporator. Then, Vapours of fourth evaporator will
be fed to fifth effect Evaporator.
Falling film evaporators will be operated at very low temperature differences between the
heating media and the boiling liquid, and they also have very short product contact times,
typically just a few seconds per pass.
These characteristics make the falling film evaporator particularly suitable for spent wash
evaporation.
This is specifically designed Spent wash distributors for the proper distribution of Spent
wash in tubes. Specific design of the liquid distribution system achieve full and even
product wetting of the tubes. Because of the low liquid holding volume in this type of unit,
the falling film Evaporator can be started up quickly and changed to cleaning mode
easily.
Falling film evaporators are highly responsive to alterations of parameters such as
energy supply, vacuum, feed rate, concentrations, etc. it will be equipped with a well-
designed automatic control system therefore it can produce a very consistent
concentrated product.

2. Formation of Windrows & Trimming
Using a pay loader the press mud is spread in piled windrows and trim to allow passage of
Aero tiller. Each windrow consists of 100-150 metric tons of press mud. Each windrow is of
1.5m width at bottom and 100m length.
2nd week
1. Aerating and mixing:
Make the first pans of the mixovator on windrows.
2. Inoculation of bioearth:
After the first aeration pass, the material will have achieved moderate mixing and ready
for application of acitobactor and Phosphorous soluble reagent at ½ kg per ton of
waste. This will accelerate composting stabilize temperature 65-750C and enhance
beneficial microbes.
3. Aerate the pile after inoculation and retrim.
3rd to 6th week
1. Maintenance of Moisture:
The Moisture of the pile is maintained to 50% to 60% heat is evolved during process,
this built up together with solar heat and other factor increases. Temperature resulting
to evaporation. Moisture drops to a level of about 30%to35%.
2. Application of Distillery effluent after Digesters:
Excessive/ inadequate moisture slows down composting exhibited by drop in
temperature from the trend established. Windrows are watered back to desired
moisture level using distillery effluent as moisturizing agent. The total volume
applicable each week is sprayed three times during the week.
3. Aeration:
Make one to two pass of the Mixovator after each effluent application and then retrim.
Mixovator grinds, blends, spreads, aerate and disperse the growing fungi for a uniform
and thorough decomposition of the windrow.
4. Inoculation with culture
During the 5th week, culture is again applied at 0.5 kg/ton in order to restimulate
microbial activity and to stop the development of odour.
5. Curing, Aging and Drying
7th week:

Grains as raw material Decantation of Spent Wash
Spent wash from mash column bottom is fed to decanter centrifuge after cooling in fermented
mash pre-heater. The decanter concentrates the solids present in the spent mash to desired
level.
The wet cake is separated in decanter at 25% to 30% solids. This wet cake will be sold
directly as cattle feed or mixed with concentrated Thin slop for further concentrating in Dryer.
Evaporation Process
The objective of Evaporation is to concentrate a solution consisting of a volatile solute and a
volatile solvent. Evaporation is conducted by vaporizing a portion of the solvent to produce a
concentrated solution of thick liquor with 30% solids and 70 % moisture content.
The evaporation system consists of Evaporators connected, in series. The spent wash will be
pumped from distillation section, which will be fed to the evaporator by using feed pump. Gas
Liquid separator (5 Nos.) will be used to separate the vapor and liquid. Both Vapor & Spent
wash will be fed to the next evaporation effect so it is called as Feed Forward Effect
Evaporation. The vapor from last evaporator will be condensed in condenser and transferred
to the dryer while the condensate from the evaporators is first utilized for heat recovery. While
vacuum pump maintains vacuum in the entire system. Product final thin slop with 30% solids
will be transferred to the drying system where it is further concentrated to 88 - 90 % solids.
The condensate from evaporation will be recycled.
Drying Process
The wet cake from the Decanter and the concentrated syrup with 30% solids from the
Evaporator will be dried in a steam tube bundle dryer to produce DDGS with 10% moisture
and 90% solids, which will be sold as cattle feed. It is totally a zero discharge process, which
is in accordance with the CREP recommendations.
Zero discharge will be implemented as per CREP recommendations.
