1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Shree Pandurang Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd. (SPSSKL), located at Shreepur in Malshiras

Tehsil of Solapur district in Maharashtra State, was registered as a co-operative sugar factory

under the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act 1960, vide registration no.

SUR(PRR)/PRG(A)-7(S) 88-89.Shree Pandurang Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd., (SPSSKL),

was originally established in the year 1934 with an initial crushing capacity of 250 TCD. The

unit was owned by the private limited company named “Brihan Maharashtra Sugar Syndicate

Limited.” The Brihan Maharashtra Sugar Syndicate Limited sold its unit to a Shree Pandurang

Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Limited, which is a co-operative company in the year 1993. The first

crushing operations i.e. 1250 TCD under the new management started in the year 1993-94. The

capacity of the sugar plant was expanded to 2500 TCD in the year 1997-98. At present, the

industry is having 6000 TCD sugarcane crushing capacity, 22 MW Cogeneration Power Plant

and 45 KLPD Distillery unit. The industry has established the Distillery unit of 45 KLPD

capacity in the year, for which environmental clearance was obtained from Government of India,

Ministry of Environment and Forest (I.A. Division). (F.No. J-11011/578/2008-IA II (I) dated 11th

Feb 2010). The industry has obtained the Environmental Clearance twice from State level

Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) in the year 2011 and 2016, for the

expansion of sugarcane crushing capacity from 3500 TCD to 4800 TCD, Cogeneration capacity

from 9 MW to 19 MW (No. SEAC-2009/CR.500/TC.2 Dated 26th

Feb 2011) and for 4800TCD

to 6000 TCD sugarcane crushing capacity, 19 MW to 22 MW Co-gen Power Plant (SEAC-

2015/CR-78/TC-2 dated 12th

January 2016) respectively.

There are no sensitive, historic places, critically polluted areas, CRZs and wildlife sanctuaries

etc. within 05 km radius of the factory site. The latitude and longitude are 17051‟ N and 75

06‟

E. the elevation above mean sea level is 495 m. The estimated cost towards expansion activities

would be around Rs.150 Corers. Nira Right bank canal is the source of water. Due to the excess

condensate available from Sugar unit, there is no requirement of water for sugar and

Cogeneration unit. In fact an excess amount 560 m3/day is saved and is being utilized for

Distillery and other usages. Thus the fresh water requirement would be only for Distillery

which is 166 m3/day for the existing 45 KLPD and proposed 45 KLPD. This shall be drawn

from Nira right bank canal. The permission for lifting the water from Nira right bank canal is

already being obtained from the Irrigation Department.

SPSSKL has organized a separate cane development cell to impart advanced knowledge of

cane development activities. Industry makes efforts to get the sugarcane properly harvested,

cleaned and immediately transported to the factory, in order to maintain the recovery and

overall profitability.

The industry at present obtains the power from its own 22 MW Cogeneration power plant. At

present the power requirement of the industry is 12 MW and remaining 10 MW power is

exported to the State Grids. The same practice shall be adopted after the proposed expansion.


2

The power requirement of the industry will be 18 MW after expansion and the remaining 16 MW

power shall be exported to state grid

At present, three boilers are installed, out of which two boilers of capacity 55 TPH at a pressure

of 67 kg/cm2, 45 kg/cm2 respectively and one boiler of capacity 20 TPH at a pressure of 45

kg/cm2. Additionally, one boiler of capacity 80 TPH at 87 Kg/Sq.cm will be installed for the

cogeneration unit. ESP shall be provided as Air Pollution Control equipment for the proposed

boiler.

Sugar ETP consists of Preliminary treatment (Oil & Grease trap, screen, “V” notch), anaerobic

lagoon, Aeration Tank, Clarifier, Monthly Washing Holding Tank, Sludge Drying Bed and

Treated Sump. The existing ETP is of 450 m3/day capacity which is adequate for the treatment

of the effluent generated after the proposed expansion.

At present, Spent wash treatment from its 45 KLPD distillery unit is based on Anaerobic

Digestion followed by MEE followed by Composting. The treatment of spent wash generated

due to the proposed 45 KLPD Distillery shall be based on Concentration and Incineration

Principle.

The total quantity of effluent generated after expansion of the sugar and co-generation capacity

shall be 405 m3/day (300 m3/day- Sugar unit, 85 m3/day-Cogeneration Power Plant and 20

m3/day- Domestic). The sugar effluent of 300 m3/day shall be treated in existing sugar ETP,

which has a treatment capacity of 450 m3/day and the cogeneration effluent of 85 m3/day along

with treated sugar factory effluent of 300 m3/day shall be disposed off on land for irrigation. The

Distillery effluent shall be 308 m3/day, out of which 158 m3/day (150 m3/day- Spentwash and 8

m3/day-Domestic effluent) from existing 45 KLPD Distillery is treated based on Composting

principle and remaining 150 m3/day due to proposed 45 KLPD Distillery shall be treated based

on Concentration and incineration principles. At present, Domestic effluent of 28 m3/day is

treated in septic tanks followed by an anaerobic filter. It is proposed to install STP for the

treatment of domestic effluent of 28 m3/day.

The total area available for the project is 30.66 Hectares, the details of which are given in the

section 5.3. 11.00 hectares of area is reserved for Greenbelt. According to CPCB guidelines,

minimum 1500 trees per hectare are required for the development of greenbelt, and as such

minimum 16500 trees are to planted by the industry. Till date, the industry has planted 15000

trees and remaining 1500 tress shall be planted during this year. However, the industry has

proposes to plant 1000 to 1500 trees every year in order to increase the greenbelt over and above

33% of the total factory area.

Cost of the project is 150 Crore rupees, EMP cost is estimated as Rs. 20 Crore, recurring

expenditures per annum is around Rs. 2 Crore and 0.75 % of the total project cost (Ref: Office

Memorandum Dated 1st May 2018 F. No- 22-65/2017-IA.III) will be spent on Corporate Social

Responsibilities (CSR) over a period of 5 years.

2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 Identification of Project and Project proponent

Shree Pandurang Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd., (SPSSKL), Shreepur, Taluka Malashiras, Dist

Solapur, was originally established in the year 1934 with an initial crushing capacity of 250

TCD. The unit was owned by the private limited company named “Brihan Maharashtra Sugar

Syndicate Limited.” The Brihan Maharashtra Sugar Syndicate Limited sold its unit to a Shree

Pandurang Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Limited, which is a co-operative company in the year

1993. The first crushing operations i.e. 1250 TCD under the new management started in the year

1993-94. The capacity of the sugar plant was expanded to 2500 TCD in the year 1997-98.

The command area of the sugar factory has excellent cane potential and the sugarcane grown in

this area is rich in sucrose content. Sugarcane potential of SPSSKL from its command area is

around 8 lakh tonnes. In view of this, the factory management had further expanded its crushing

capacity to 3500 TCD in the year 2006. It has also installed a 9.0 MW co-gen facility suitable for

operation during the crushing season as well as off-season and the same is working satisfactorily

since the year 2006. SPSSKL has established 45 KLPD Molasses based Distillery in the year

2010, and Environmental Clearance was obtained from the Ministry of Environment and Forests

(MoEF).

The industry has expanded its capacity from 3500 TCD to 4800 TCD and co-generation capacity

from 9 MW to 19 MW in the year 2011 and obtained the Environmental Clearance from the

Maharashtra State Expert Appraisal Committee. The industry has further expanded the sugar

plant capacity from 4800 TCD to 6000 TCD and cogeneration capacity from 19 MW to 22 MW

using the existing 3 MW turbine in the year 2016, for which the Environmental Clearance was

obtained from the Maharashtra State Expert Appraisal Committee, and the consent to operate

from Maharashtra Pollution Control Board. At present, SPSSKL has a sugar unit of crushing

capacity 6000 TCD, Cogeneration of 22 MW capacity and Distillery unit of 45 KLPD capacity.

SPSSKL intends to expand the Sugarcane crushing capacity from 6000 TCD to 10000 TCD,

Distillery capacity from 45 KLPD to 90 KLPD. It has existing Co-generation power plant of


4

capacity 22 MW. The industry proposes to expand its cogeneration power plant capacity to 34

MW by discarding its existing 3MW power turbine and adding 15 MW back pressure turbine.

SPSSKL is today one of the best professionally managed and financially sound co-operative

sugar factory in Maharashtra. It is also the only sugar factory in Maharashtra to have been

granted CDM credits for its co-gen plant which is generating additional revenue for the factory.

SPSSKL has also installed a commercial scale facility for baling of cane trash in the fields,

transportation of the baled trash to the factory, shredding of the bales at the bagasse yard and

mixing it with bagasse for use as fuel in the boilers. Use of cane trash as supplementary fuel for

the boiler was started in Jan 2009 and continued for about 3 months during the season 2008-09

and continued thereafter. The management wishes to continue use of this supplementary fuel in

future.

Backed by a proven managerial and financial track record, SPSSKL management now propose to

implement further expansion programme to operate the sugar, distillery and co-gen plant at

optimum capacity with high uptime and lower captive energy consumption with a view to

enhance the financial capability of the factory to pay better cane price to its members.

2.2 Brief description of the nature of the project

SPSSKL is an agro-based company focused on the manufacturing of sugar and allied by-

products. The proposed plant units will be established in the existing premises of SPSSKL. 30.66

hectares of land is available with the industry which is sufficient for the proposed expansion.

Bagasse and Molasses to be generated will be utilized in co-generation and distillery

respectively.

SPSSKL intends to expand sugarcane crushing capacity from 6000 TCD to 10000 TCD,

Distillery capacity from 45 KLPD to 90 KLPD and also Co-generation capacity from 22 MW to

34 MW in order to increase productivity and profitability in addition to abating pollution. Along

with the expansion of Sugarcane crushing and Co-generation Power Plant, it is economically and

environmentally sustainable to expand distillery capacity and to generate power plant so as to

utilize molasses and bagasse which otherwise are harmful to Environment. Products and By-

products of existing and proposed units are presented as follows.

2.2.2. Consent to Operate of existing Sugar and Distillery Plants

Sugar division of SPSSKL has obtained Consent to Operate from MPCB (Format 1.0/BO/CAC-

CELL/UAN No.-0000028079/R/CAC-1804000345) dated 07/04/2018 for existing 6000 TCD

crushing capacity and 22 MW Co-gen Power and Consent to Operate (Format-1.0/BO/CAC-

CELL/UAN No. 0000028596/R/CAC-1804000326) dated 07/04/2018 is obtained by Distillery

division for 45 KLPD capacity., under section 26 of the Water (Prevention & Control of

Pollution) Act, 1974 & under Section 21 of the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act,

1981 and Authorization under Rule 6 of the Hazardous & Other Wastes (M & T M) Rules 2016.

2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and the region

The sugar industry is one of the major agro-based manufacturer industries. India being the

largest Sugarcane producer country after Brazil, it is inevitable and unavoidable for India to

grow as the largest sugar and allied products manufacturing country. The major shareholder of

this sector is the farmer, producer of raw material sugarcane and it is estimated that around 45

millions of people in India are sugarcane growers. Sugarcane Potential, agro-climatic conditions


7

and the cost of conversion and overheads etc. are the major deciding factors for fixing the

crushing capacity of a sugar plant. It has been established that wages and other overhead costs

per ton of sugar get reduced substantially with higher plant sizes.

As there is excess cane available in the command area, industry shall have to make arrangement

for the timely crushing of sugarcane of not only its shareholders but also entire farmer‟s

community in the command area. Incidentally, the economic viability would also improve not

only by producing sugar more but also to generate power which can be exported to the state grid

and additional money can be distributed to farmers as cane price.

Besides the direct benefit, the expansion would help to crush sugarcane in time so that the high

recovery due to timely crushing would further improve the economy of the farmers. Apart from

this, the establishment of such institutions brings employment and other developmental

opportunities for the entire region. In the case of SPSSKL, the proposed expansion in sugarcane

crushing, distillery capacity and co-generation of power would greatly increase the productivity

and profitability of the industry. By the means of newly proposed cogeneration and expanded

distillery capacity, bagasse and molasses to be generated (due to additional crushing) will be

utilized in co-generation and distillery expansion, respectively. Production of alcohol from

molasses based distilleries is not only helpful in abating pollution by utilizing molasses but also

helpful in partly fulfilling the need for petrol by blending ethanol in the petrol. The co-generation

power plant produces power, which helps in reducing the load on state electricity grids and

fulfilling the necessity of electricity for society. Thus, the proposed project would immensely

benefit not only it shareholders but also to the people of the entire region around SPSSKL.

To implement the above program, the management of SPSSKL has appointed consultants with

the objective of expansion & capacity optimization of sugar plant, with emphasis on reduction in

the cost of production through improvement in milling efficiency and reduction in process

steam/energy consumption.

2.4 Demand-Supply gap

Sugarcane availability in the command area of SPSSKL surpasses the existing crushing capacity

due to the availability of an adequate amount of water by the courtesy of River Bhima. Ujani

dam, Nira Bhatgar Dam, Sonake Tisangi Dam and Manganga River. Also, Sugar, Alcohol, and

Power are having high demand and monetary value as well. Hence, the efforts to supplement to

the demands of society are necessary in order to achieve profitability.

2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous products

Major products to be manufactured in this sugar complex are Sugar, Alcohol, and Power. Sugar

and Alcohol from this industry are qualitatively better and competitive against imported

products. Hence, the benefit of foreign exchange saving could be achieved.


8

2.6 Export possibility

Sugar is mostly sold in the local market. Depending on the international market conditions and

prices, sugar could be exported. Alcohol produced is mainly utilized in blending with petrol

(additives).

2.7 Domestic / Export markets

Domestic markets are found to be more suitable, by the observations made over the years.

Convenience and profitability are always preferred by the management of SPSSKL.

2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project

After the proposed expansion project, direct employment of about 50 people will be generated

and indirect employment of around 100 people is possible. Also, around 20 % increase in

indirect employment is expected due to the additional transportation required after the proposed

expansion.

3.5.1. Process Details

3.5.1.1. White Sugar Manufacturing Process

Cane harvest and Transport:

Matured cane is harvested and brought to the factory through Trucks, and Bullock carts.

Cane Weight:

Cane is weighed on automatic weighing scales at the factory gate. Net weight of cane is

determined by subtracting tare weight of the vehicle from its gross weight.


15

Unloading:

Cane is unloaded by means of mechanical unloaded in the carrier and Passed through leveler,

vibrator and prepared cane are subjected for milling.

Milling:

The prepared cane is subjected for extraction of the juice in the milling System for successive

compressing followed by imbibitions. The extracted juice is weighed automatically and

subjected for sugar.

3.5.1.1.1. Manufacturing Process

A by-product of milling system which is known as bagasse is passed for the boiler as a fuel for

generation of steam. Steam is used for running the prime movers and turbo generations for

power production. The exhaust generated from prime movers is utilized for heating of the juice

massecuite.

Clarification:

The weighed juice is heated and subjected to automatic liming and Sulphitation process where

the pH of the juice is kept neutral. This sulphinated juice is heated and settled in the clarifier.

The supernatant liquid is taken for evaporation where it is concentrated up to 600 BX and passed

for crystallization in the vacuum pans.

Crystallization:

The concentrated syrup is again sulphinated and used as a pan boiling system. The three

massecuite boiling system is adopted for the production of white sugar the process is given

below:

A Massecuite boiling:

Syrup 600

BX and 85% purity excess melt is boiled under vacuum or Crystallization after

adequate exhaustion and attending proper growth of BX and purity above 89% the crystal l-e

massecuite dropped in the crystallization where atmospheric cooling is affected and same is

taken for centrifugation wherein crystallization are separated from its mother liquor under

centrifugal force in the centrifugal machine. The mother Liquor is known as a heavy and a light

molasses which is send back for the process. The crystals are dried and cooled on the hopper and

carried for graduation.


16

B Massecuite:

A heavy molasses is used to develop to cooling and material for B massecuite id developed on a

heavy molasses + B light molasses. It is exhausted to the optimum condition and sufficiently

brought together to have a BX of 94 and purity 75%. It is dropped to crystallizer for achieving

the further exhaustion the same is taken for curing in the continuous machines where a sugar and

its mother liquor is known as B heavy molasses which is send back for the process. The B sugar

is taken as a speed for a Massecuite boiling and excess is melted.

C Massecuite:

The grain is made in the C light and B heavy keeping 62 Purity and BX 70. After establishing

grain it is subject for hardening and its further developments. One part of the grain is kept

footing material of “c” massecuite and two parts are stored in vacuum crystallizer. The footing is

developed on B heavy molasses. The mother liquor is completely exhausted followed successive

drink of molasses after achieving proper exhaustion l-e 100-102 BX and purity 56 to 58. The

same cured is continuous to centrifugal machines where crystals are separated from its mother

liquor and liquor is known as final molasses which are weighed automatically and send for

storage in a steel tank. The C fore worker sugar is mixed with water known as C fore magma

and sent for further curing. The double cured sugar is maintained and used for developing C

massecuite. The separated crystals are then graded according to their size as “A” sugar “B” sugar

and “C” sugar.

Packaging:

Separated crystals are packaged in the gunny bags and stitched and are send to the godown.

Process for the manufacture of alcohol:

Molasses is the chief raw material used for the production of alcohol. Molasses contains about

50% total sugars, of which 30 to 33% are cane sugar and the rest are reducing sugar. During the

fermentation, yeast strains to the species Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, a living microorganism

belonging to class fungi converts sugar present in the molasses such as sucrose or glucose into

alcohol. Chemically this transformation for sucrose to alcohol can be approximated by the

equation:

I) C12H22O11+ H2O 2C6H12O6

Cane Sugar Invertase Glucose +Fructose

II) C6H12O6 2C2H5OH +2CO2

180 Zymase 2 x 46 + 2 x44

Glucose/Fructose Ethyl alcohol + Carbon dioxide

Thus, 180 gm of sugar on reaction gives 92 gm of alcohol. Therefore, 1 MT of sugar gives 511.1

kg of alcohol. The specific gravity of alcohol is 0.7934. Therefore, 511.1 kg of alcohol is

equivalent to 511.1 / 0.7934 = 644.19 liters of alcohol. During fermentation other by-products

like glycerin, succinic acids etc. also are formed from sugars. Therefore, actually, 94.5% total

fermentable sugars are available for alcohol conversion. Thus, one MT of sugar will give only

644 x 0.945 = 608.6 liters of alcohol, under ideal condition theoretically.

Normally only 80 to 82% efficiencies are realized in a batch type plant. One MT of molasses

containing 47% fermentable sugars gave an alcoholic yield of 283 liters per MT. Molasses,

diluted with water to the desired concentration is supplied continuously to a fermenter. Additives

like urea and de-foaming oil are also introduced in the fermenter as required. There are an

automatic foam level sensing and dosing system for de-foaming oil. Every kilogram of alcohol

generates about 290 Kilocalories of heat. This excess heat is removed by continuous circulation

of fermented wash through an external plate heat exchanger called the fermenter cooler. The

fermenter temperature is always maintained between 32-34 0C, the range optimum for efficient

fermentation. The yeast for the fermentation is initially developed in the propagation section.

Once propagated, yeast recycling and continuous aeration of fermenter maintain viable cell

populations of about 350 to 500 million cells/ml. Fluctuations in the yeast count of ± 20 % have

little effect on overall fermenter productivity. Yeast cell vitality, which is usually above 70% in

times of stress drop to 50% without affecting the fermentation.

Propagation:

A propagation section is a feeder unit to the fermenter. Yeast, either Saccharomyces cerevisiae

or Schizosaccharomyces pombe (the choice being determined by other process parameters,


19

mainly the downstream effluent treatment system) is grown in three stages. The first two stages

are designed for aseptic growth. Propagation vessel III develops the inoculums using pasteurized

molasses solution as the medium. This vessel has the dual function. During propagation, it serves

for inoculums built-up. When the fermenter enters the continuous production mode, propagation

vessel III is used as an intermediate wash tank. Propagation is carried out only to start up the

process initially or after very long shutdowns during which the fermenter is emptied.

CO2 Scrubber and Recovery:

The carbon dioxide produced during fermentation is scrubbed with water in the packed-bed

scrubber, to recover alcohol. The water from the scrubber is returned to the fermenter. In some

industries, carbon dioxide is captured by, scrubbing the gas from the fermenter. A part of the

wash is drawn into a separate vessel and is aerated there. This external aeration allows the

recovery of CO2 un-contaminated with air.

Yeast Recycling:

The yeast in the fermenter wash is removed as 45 to 55% v/v slurry and is returned to the

fermenter. This feature ensures that a high yeast cell concentration is achieved and maintained in

the fermenter. Mature active yeast will be recycled so as to reduce the excess consumption of

sugar by growing yeast. Thus, it makes available for ethanol production and ensuring high

process efficiency.

Fermentation parameters (typical):

The pH of the fermenter is maintained within 4.0 to 4.8 usually by the addition of an acid. The

alcohol concentration is maintained between 7.0 to 8.5% v/v unless a highly concentrate effluent

is to be produced.

Conversion of sugar to ethanol is instantaneous and the residual sugar concentration is

maintained below 0.2% w/w as glucose. This usually corresponds to a residual reducing

substances concentration of 2.0 to 2.5% w/w in the wash.

Weak wash/ spent wash recycling (Optional- depends upon yeast strain)

Recycling of weak wash helps to maintain the desired level of dissolved solids in the fermenters

so that an adequately high osmotic pressure is achieved. Osmotic pressure and the concentration

of alcohol in the fermenter, together with keep off infections and minimize sugar losses. Weak

wash recycling also reduces the quantity of effluent spent wash and reduces the process water

requirement of the plant.

Pressure Vacuum Distillation:

Vacuum distillation system consists of three to four distillation columns namely,

Analyzer column: Operated under vacuum

Pre rectifier column: Operated under vacuum

Rectifier cum Exhaust column: Operated under pressure

Fusel oil concentration may be added to improve quality of alcohol further. Fermented wash is

preheated in fermented wash preheater and fed at the top of the analyzer column. Analyzer

column is fitted with thermosyphon reboiler. Top vapors of analyzer column are sent to the pre-

rectifier column. Rest of the fermented wash flows down and is taken as spent wash from the

analyzer column bottom. The pre-rectifier bottom liquid is preheated with spent-less and fed to

rectifier cum exhaust column. Low boiling impurities are concentrated in the pre-rectified

column. A top draw is taken out as impure alcohol from the pre-rectified column. The bottom of

pre-rectifier is sent to rectifier feed tank. Rectifier exhaust is operated under pressure and heats

the analyzer column through re-boiler. Alcohol is enriched towards the top and is drawn out as

Rectified Spirit. Fusel oil built up is avoided in the rectifier column by withdrawing outside

streams of fusel oil. These are sent to the fusel oil concentration column from where the fusel oil

is recycled back to the column. A top draw is taken out as impure alcohol from the top of fusel

oil column and pre-rectifier column.

Benefits of Pressure vacuum Distillation:

The advantages of this technology are as follows;

Since the analyzer column operates under vacuum, the formation of by-products such as

„acetyl‟ may minimize thereby improvement in the quality of alcohol.

Pre-rectification column ensures removal of unwanted substances and also reduces the

load of lower boiling volatile compounds passing on to the rectifier cum exhaust column.

The chances of scaling due to invert solubility of certain precipitating inorganic salts are

minimized in vacuum distillation.

Vacuum distillation requires low steam consumption i.e. 2 kg/lit. of Recited Spirit and

around 3.2 kg/lit. of ENA.

23

The process of Manufacturing of Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA):

Extra neutral alcohol is manufactured from Rectified Spirit. The impurities in Rectified Spirit are

reduced to a considerable extent by properly diluting and redistilling the spirit. The impurities

like aldehydes, acids, Esters, higher alcohols are minimized by controlled condition and tapping

impurities at appropriate points during distillation.

The main stages in the manufacturing of Extra Neutral Alcohol are:

Dilution of Rectified Spirit with filtered soft water in the ratio of 1:3 to 1:4.

The diluted spirit may be treated with potassium permanganate.

Separation of low boiling impurities in the purifying column.

Separation of esters and other volatile in rectifying column and concentration of alcohol.

Removal of excess water in exhaust column.

The concentration of low boiling impurities and their removal takes place in the head

concentration column.

The design of the re-distillation plant is made in such a way that the Extra neutral alcohol quality

and the production does not get disturbed due to the varying quality of rectified spirit. The plant

may be preferably in copper. As the plant deals with the rectified spirit, there is no risk of

corrosion and the quality of spirit produced will be superior.

The manufacturing process for Anhydrous (Fuel) Alcohol:

Anhydrous alcohol is an important product required by industry. As per IS Specification, it is

nearly 100% pure / water-free alcohol. Alcohol, as manufactured by Indian distilleries, is

rectified spirit, which is 94.68 % alcohol, and rest is water. It is not possible to remove the

remaining water from rectified spirit by straight distillation as ethyl alcohol forms a constant

boiling mixture with water at this concentration and known as an azeotrope. Therefore, a special

process for the removal of water is required for the manufacture of anhydrous alcohol.

In order to extract water from alcohol, it is necessary to use some dehydrant or entrainer, which

is capable of separating water from alcohol.

Simple dehydrant is un-slacked lime, Industrial alcohol is taken in a reactor and quicklime is

added to that and the mixture is left overnight for complete reaction. It is then distilled in the

fractionating column to get anhydrous alcohol. Water is retained by quicklime. This process is

used for the small-scale production of anhydrous alcohol by a batch process.

The various processes used for dehydration of alcohol are as follows:

1. Azeotropic Distillation

2. Molecular Sieves

3. Pervaporation / Vapor permeation system:


24

4. Dehydration with Molecular Sieve Process:

Factory has decided to adopt the Molecular Sieve process, as there is less operating cost and

energy requirement as compared to other processes.

Dehydration with Molecular Sieve Process:

The rectified spirit from the rectifier is superheated with steam in feed superheater. Superheated

rectified spirit from feed superheater is passed to one of the pair of molecular sieve beds for

several minutes. On a time basis, the flow of superheated anhydrous ethanol vapor leaving the

fresh adsorption bed is used to regenerate the loaded bed. A moderate vacuum is applied by

vacuum pump operating after condensation of the regenerated ethanol-water mixer. This

condensate is transferred from recycling drum to the Rectified Column in the hydrous distillation

plant via Recycle pump. The anhydrous absolute alcohol draw is condensed in product condenser

and passed to product storage.

3.5.1.3. Cogeneration Power Plant

Cogeneration is a process that simultaneously produces two or more forms of useful energy, such

as electric power and steam. It harnesses the thermal and electrical energy that is released as part

of the production process in the industry. When a fuel is burnt to generate heat, and that heat is

exploited in a thermodynamic cycle to produce electricity, a great deal of energy is wasted. This

wasted energy (which can be up to two-thirds of the energy content) of the fuel emerges as heat.

If this heat can be utilized for space heating, for making hot water or in a manufacturing process,

it could reduce the amount of additional energy needed for such purposes. This makes the

economics of cogeneration extremely favorable. The process flow sheet for cogeneration power

plant is presented in Figure

The co-generation plant is selected to utilize bagasse as a fuel. The plant will consume 450000

MT of bagasse for 180 days of operation of sugarcane crushing season, and 225000 MT of

bagasse during offseason. The power generation will be

3.6 Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area

of the final product, Mode of transport of raw material and finished product.

Raw material, sugarcane is purchased from farmers. Sugarcane is available in the command area

around SPSSKL in plenty of amount as this region is having water availability due to River

Bhima, Ujani dam, Nira Bhatgar Dam, Sonake Tisangi Dam and Manganga River.

Approximately 1800000 Tons of sugarcane shall be required after the proposed expansion,

which is available in the command area of SPSSKL. Also, lime and sulphur are purchased from

the open market and transported by road.


27

Final products sugar, alcohol, and power etc. are having their market available locally. Finished

products are transported in closed containers, whereas sugarcane is brought to the industry from

farms by the means of trucks, tractors and bullock carts etc.

In the case of Distillery, molasses formed in the sugarcane crushing will be utilized as a raw

material. Bagasse shall be utilized in Cogeneration power plant. Transport of both bagasse and

molasses would be by internal means. Power is transferred to state electricity grids, Distillery

products shall be transported using closed containers. The estimated quantity of molasses to be

utilized after the proposed expansion is around 12133 MT/Month. Bagasse quantity to be utilized

in Co-generation after expansion of 22 MW to 34 MW Co-generation power plant would be

around 87209 MT/Month.

3.7 Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, should be

briefly outlined.

It is proposed to expand existing 22 MW co-generation power plant to 34 MW capacity with

high-pressure boilers in order to save raw material bagasse. It is proposed to treat the spray pond

overflow and also recycle as process water so that around 1925 m3/day of fresh water can be

saved for the process. The industry will recycle all excess condensates which shall be further

improved to recycle excess condensate and use it as a boiler feed and process water. It is also

proposed to adopt high-pressure water jet cleaning for evaporator bodies, process equipment so

that the water requirement can be minimized.

4. SITE ANALYSIS

4.1. Background of the Site Location

Shree Pandurang Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd., (SPSSKL), Shreepur, Taluka Malashiras, Dist

Solapur, was originally established in the year 1934 & later converted to the co-operative sector

in the year 1993 with the initial installed capacity of 1250 TCD. The first crushing operations

under the new management started in the year 1993-94. The capacity of the sugar plant was

expanded to 2500 TCD in the year 1997-98.

The command area of the sugar factory has excellent cane potential and the sugarcane grown in

this area is rich in sucrose content. Sugarcane potential of SPSSKL from its command area is

around 8 lakh tonnes. In view of this, the factory management had further expanded its crushing

capacity to 3500 TCD in the year 2006. It has also installed a 9.0 MW co-gen facility suitable for

operation during the crushing season as well as off-season and the same is working satisfactorily

since the year 2006. SPSSKL has established 45 KLPD Molasses based Distillery in the year

2010. The industry has expanded its capacity from 3500 TCD to 4800 TCD and cogeneration

capacity from 9 MW to 19 MW in the year 2011. The industry has further expanded the sugar

plant capacity from 4800 TCD to 6000 TCD and cogeneration capacity from 19 MW to 22 MW

using the existing 3 MW turbine in the year 2016. At present, SPSSKL has a sugar unit of

crushing capacity 6000 TCD, Cogeneration of 22 MW capacity and Distillery unit of 45 KLPD

capacity.

SPSSKL is procuring sugarcane from Malshiras Taluka of Solapur District, Pandharpur Taluka

of Solapur district & Indapur Taluka of Pune District. There are a total of 97 villages in the area

of operation of the factory. Around 85% of the total sugarcane is estimated to be available within

15 km radius of the factory and the rest of 15% is within the 30 Km radius of the factory. The

factory thus has a very favorable sugarcane availability scenario.

4.2. Connectivity

The site is conveniently located in many aspects. This proposed expansion project has a plant

area of about 30.66 hectares having a connecting road and approachability. Pune – Solapur

national highway (NH-9) is 25 km away from the site. Bhima River is 5 km from industry. There

are no sensitive, historical, forest reserves and wildlife sanctuaries etc within 10 Km radius of the

factory site.

The Project Site is conveniently located for development of the Project.

110 Km away from Solapur, which is a district place.

Other important towns nearby are

Akluj, at a distance of 9 km

Pandharpur, at a distance of 30 km

Kurduwadi is nearest Railway station 38 km away from factory site.


30

Solapur is nearest Airport 110 Km away from factory site.

Hence, the site is very convenient in terms of connectivity.

4.3. Land Form, Land use, and Land ownership

Total land of 30.66 Ha in the existing premise is owned by the industry. The detailed land

breakup along with the provision for Green Belt Development is given in Chapter 5.

4.4. Topography

The average elevation of the industry is 495 m. The study area is located on the bank of the

Bhima River hence having average plane topography. There is no important hill system in the

region. However, there are a few scattered hills in the area under study with no significant relief.

The area is thus characterized by flat and at the places slightly undulating topography

4.5. Existing Infrastructure

The expansion can be accommodated in the Existing infrastructure facilities to the maximum

possible extent. Additional land is available adjacent to the existing infrastructure to facilitate the

use of utilities without much additional cost.

4.6. Soil Classification

The Malshiras taluka consists of different types of soil such as light black, reddish and the black

cotton soil (BCS) which contains high alumina and carbonates of Ca and Mg. A typical

6.8 Industrial Waste Management

Industrial waste management facilities are adequate even for the expansion capacities.


33

6.9 Solid Waste Management

Solid waste management and disposal facilities are not required additionally after expansion.

6.10 Power requirement & Supply / Source

At present, the power requirement by the industry is 12 MW. Additional 6 MW of power will be

required after the proposed expansion. Therefore the total power requirement after the proposed

expansion will be 18 MW. The industry intends to expand its cogeneration capacity to 34 MW.

The power required by the industry is met from its owned cogeneration power plant. Excess

electricity produced will be supplied to the state electricity grids.

7. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN

7.1 Policy to be adopted (Central/State) in respect of the project affected persons

including home oustees, land oustees and landless laborers (a brief outline to be given)

Not applicable as the project does not fall under project affected areas.

8. PROJECT SCHEDULE AND COST ESTIMATES

8.1 Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion (Time schedule for

the project to be given)

Project activities will be initiated as soon as Environmental clearance is obtained. And it would

take around two years for the completion of the project.

8.2 Estimated project cost along with analysis in terms of the economic viability of the

project

Cost of the project is 150 Crore rupees, EMP cost is estimated as Rs. 20 Crore, recurring

expenditures per annum is around Rs. 2 Crore and 0.75 % of the total project cost (Ref: Office

Memorandum Dated 1st May 2018 F. No- 22-65/2017-IA.III) will be spent on Corporate Social

Responsibilities (CSR) over a period of 5 years.

9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (Final recommendations)

9.1 Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local people

including tribal population, if any, in the area.

Due to the expansion, productivity and the profitability of the industry are going to be affected in

a positive manner. The financial benefits are diverted directly to the farmers, by the higher cane

prices due to timely crushing and high recovery. Hence, this project would immensely help

farmers. Along with that, direct employment opportunities are generated for the local people due

to this expansion project. Due to the increased transportation and other activities inside the

industry premises, indirect employment generation is also possible. Hence, this project is

beneficial to the entire region around the SPSSKL.
