Alcohol is produced in the distilleries by fermentation of molasses and distillation processes.

Spent wash produced as effluent is the major pollutant from the distilleries. It is highly

contaminated with inorganic and organic pollutant. Proper handling and disposal of spent wash

is necessary to prevent its adverse impact on the environment.

The Environmental Clearance has been obtained from MOEF for the Molasses Based Distillery

Plant for 60 KLPD capacity under EIA Notification 2006 vide EC letter no F.No. J-

11011/274/2003-IA II Dated July 1st 2004, and also Consent for Establishment from KSPCB.The

industry is in operation with valid Consent for Operation from KSPCB.

1.1 EXPANSION OF SIDDAPUR DISTILLERY Limited

M/s. Siddapur Distilleries Limited., proposes to expand and modify its existing Molasses Based

Distillery Plant from 60 KLPD to 70 KLPD to produce Potable Grade Rectified Spirit, Extra Neutral

Alcohol and Fuel Alcohol to meet the requirements of Potable Alcohol, Pharmaceuticals

Industries and Oil Companies for blending ethanol with petrol. The proposed increase in

capacity is planned through process modification in its existing Distillery Plant.



As per EIA Notification 2006, this expansion project requires to obtain Environmental Clearance

from Ministry of Environmental Forest, Govt. of India as this is a category A project under the

schedule to the Notification. Accordingly, an application in Form-1 along with pre -feasibility

report was submitted to MoEFfile no. F.No.- IA-J-11011/10/2017-IA-II(I), IA-J-11011/10/2017-

IA-II (I) dated on 11 Jan 2017. The EAC in the meeting held on 27th February, 2017 has

examined the pre-feasibility report and issued Terms of Reference for preparation of EIA.

The draft EIA report is prepared duly incorporating the terms of reference given by the Ministry

of Environment, Forest & Climate Change.

The proposed expansion and modifications is envisaged by changing the process technology

and thereby increasing the capacity of distillery plant. Molasses is easily available from parent

sugar factory i.e Shri Prabhulingeshwara Sugars & Chemicals Limited (SPSCL). It is proposed to

adopt fed batch fermentation process wherein, for each batch of fermentation new yeast

culture is used to get higher yield of alcohol. The expected improvement in yield due to the

conversion of the existing “Continuous Fermentation System” into “Fed Batch System’’ is

Alcohol content in Fermented Wash will increase from 9.0 %v/v to 9.50% v/v to 10.50 % v/v

to11.0% v/v.

1.5 TECHNOLOGY & PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Rectified Spirit/ENA/Ethanol production in the plant is based on Fed Batch Fermentation

Technology. The process flow chart is shown below.



Fig 1.2 Process flow chart



Production of Rectified spirit is mainly carried under the following three steps.

1. Dilution - Preparation of molasses for fermentation

2. Fermentation - Production of alcohol from fermentable sugars in molasses soln.

3. Distillation - Product Recovery

Dilution of molasses and addition of yeast

In fed batch fermentation process the required quantity of water taken into fermenter first, it

takes 2-3 Hrs, then 20% volume culture is inoculated from Pre-fermenters (PFs) to fermenter

(Takes 1 Hr), after this refilling of pre-fermenters. Then required quantity of molasses feeding

starts to ferment at slow feed; it takes 15-18 Hrs. In this period nutrients (Urea & DAP) added in

ppm base to the fermentation and Pre-fermentation for healthy growth of the Yeast cells.

Fermentation Process

When molasses feeding is stopped, the stock is retained in the fermenter for 10-12 Hrs for

complete conversion of fermentable sugars. In fermentation process the residual sugars (RS%)

left is 1.25 % to 1.30 %. The overall time required for completion of a fermentation is 30-32 Hrs.

After this, the fermented wash consists of organic solids and dead yeast biomass is separated

through decanter, the solids separate out and the clear wash collected into CWT (Clarified wash

tank). This wash is ready for distillation process.

The Major difference b/w continuous & Fed batch Fermentation process is stated in table 1.2

Distillation Process In the Distillation process separation of alcohol and impurities from fermented wash at different temperatures take place with the help of steam. The following columns are operated:

1. CO2 stripper column(Degassifier)

2. Stripping Column(Analyser)

3. Pre-rectifier column(PRC)

4. Extraction column(ED)

5. Rectifier column(RC)

6. Refining column(Simmering)

7. Fusel oil column(FOC)

8. Aldehyde column(Head Concentration Column or HCC)

The fermented wash first fed to CO2 stripping column, before this the fermented wash is

pre-heated from stripping column’s bottom spent wash, in this column low boiling point

alcohols and gases are removed. Then the wash fed to stripping column, stripper column wash

is heating from pre-rectifier column (PRC) top vapors. Bottom product of stripper column is

called ‘spent wash’. The top alcohol vapors are passes through evaporator bodies (For

concentrating the spent wash) to stripper condensers, here alcohol vapors condensed using

cooling tower water as coolant. Again, this condensed alcohol is fed to PRC. PRC operates at

elevated steam at reboiler, in this column LFO (Low Fusel Oil) and HFO (High Fusel Oil) separate

out and fed to Fusel oil column (FOC). And bottom product of PRC is called PRC lees. The top

vapors are very rich in alcohol and condensed in condenser and partly refluxed to the same

column and draw is again fed to Extraction column. In ED column, further dilution of the alcohol

takes place for improving the quality of alcohol. This condensed alcohol is known as rectified

spirit (RS).

This rectified spirit is fed to refining column few impurities (DA) separated and collected as

impure spirit (IS) and from the bottom product of refining column is cooled and collected as

ENA(Extra neutral alcohol).

MOLECULAR SIEVE DEHYDRATION (ETHANOL) Rectified Spirit at Ageotropic concentration (constant boiling mixture) is pumped through Feed

pump. The rectified spirit will first pass to sieve vaporizer through feed economizer which will

convert the rectified Spirit to superheated alcohol vapors with the help of steam as heat source

in sieve vaporizer. This super-heated alcohol vapors are passed in molecular sieve bed, the

output material from molecular sieve bed is anhydrous alcohol and Ethanol.

CHAPTER 6

PROJECT BENEFITS

Project is based on agricultural raw material and rural location.

The conclusions drawn from the above study relates to the fact that the proposed expansion of

the molasses based distillery industry undertaken by the management of the industry has

certain level or marginal impacts on the local environmental setting, which will not affect the

natural environmental setting of the study zone either drastically or otherwise. However,

certain beneficial impacts are anticipated in terms of the employment opportunities created

during the operation of the industry and the farmers around the industry will be benefited.

Also, there will be economic growth at the regional level.

1. The use and importance of alcohol is well known as an ingredient in beverages and industrial

raw material for manufacture of a variety of organic chemicals including pharmaceuticals,

cosmetics, potable alcohol etc. also as a potential fuel in the form of power alcohol when

blended with petrol.

2. Alcohol is produced from molasses which is a renewable source and a by-product of the

sugar Industry.

3. With enhancement in sugar cane cultivation in the country, the production of molasses from

the sugar industry has greatly increased. The sugar industries are facing the problem for storage

and disposal of molasses. It is necessary to create additional capacity for utilization of molasses.

This will enable sugar factories to give better prices to the farmers supplying sugar cane.

4. The plant nutrients present in spent wash are recovered in compost or boiler ash. These

products are rich in micro and other nutrients and therefore useful to the formers to enhance

the nutrient values of the soil.
