Its financial viability drastically affected due to weather conditions as well as market. Therefore, it is need to explore the alternative products from the available resources so as improve its financial stability. Molasses based distillery is one of such alternative because raw material availability i.e. molasses and power is fulfilled in-house by the sugar mill. In India, mainly three types of alcohols are popularly produced i.e. rectified spirit (RS), extra neutral alcohol (ENA) and anhydrous alcohol (AA) (Fuel Ethanol). Of these, RS used for large number of industrial, scientific, laboratory, medical and many other applications. Thus, demand for the same is immense and it is ever increasing. ENA used for making liquors and other alcoholic beverages. AA is a fuel alcohol; it used for blending with petrol in the ratio of maximum 26:7.

5 Molasses is a byproduct of sugar industry. The above table shows the expected availability of molasses and thereby. Indicates, ~ 70-75% molasses will be available from own source and therefore, it has decided to install a new distillery of 30 KLPD. The distillery unit will be producing, RS/ENA which are very significant for other industries, medical services, etc. Ethanol (AA) used to blend with petrol, thus able to save valuable foreign exchange on import of fossil fuel. 1.5 Power Installation of 15 TPH capacity incineration boiler and 1.50 MW capacity turbine, separately for proposed project. The estimated requirement of power for proposed boiler, 30 KLPD distillery and ETP will be 920 KWh. 1.6 Import vs. Indigenous production The process is simple, straight and the technology for manufacturing as well as pollution control/disposal is available indigenously. 1.7 Export Possibility The finished products viz. Rectified Spirit (RS), Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) and Anhydrous Alcohol (AA) (Fuel Ethanol) is having great export potential. 1.8 Domestic / export markets Market places such as Mumbai, Nashik, Aurangabad, Pune as well as chemical industries are the potential domestic market for rectified spirit, ENA as well as AA (Fuel Ethanol). ENA could be an exportable product. Mumbai is the nearest port for international export. Mumbai is approx.300 km from the proposed site. 1.9 Employment Generation Proposed project will be generating 80 direct employment opportunities, of which 50 will be for skilled and 30 for semi-skilled/unskilled persons. Apart from this, the project anticipated to give plenty of indirect opportunities to transporters, shopkeepers and various facility providers such as schools, medical facilities, etc. 5

6 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 Type of project Proposed project is a new installation of 30 KLPD molasses based distillery. Molasses is a by-product from the sugar industry, which used as a raw material for proposed distillery. The project is placed under item 5 (g) - for distillery unit as A category as per EIA Notification, 2006 (as amended in 2009) and will be appraised at central level. 2.2 Location with coordinate Figure 2.1: Proposed Project Site 6

9 2.3 Details of alternative site considered and basis of selecting the proposed site Alternative sites for the proposed project not considered, because of following reasonsi) The project proponent having land, which is adequate for the proposed units as well as ancillary units thereof such as storage, treatment, disposal of spent wash etc. ii) The present site meets the guidelines for setting an industry prescribed by MoEF&CC iii) No rehabilitation or restoration issues involved with the proposed site iv) The plot is open and barren, thus minimal disturbance to ecosystem and surroundings v) Infrastructure and resources such as road, water, electricity, manpower, etc is already available 2.4 Size or magnitude of operation New molasses based distillery of 30 KLPD 2.5 Project description with process details Process: Distillery PSAAPLdecided to adopt the latest incineration technology to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) for the proposed 30KLPD distillery unit; the peculiarities of manufacturing process are as follows. Manufacturing Process The production process involves the following stages : 1) Fermentation 2) Distillation Fermentation: Molasses is the chief raw material used for 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 of the species Saccharomyces cerevisieae, a living microorganism belonging to class fungi converts sugar present in the molasses such as sucrose or glucose in to alcohol. The continuous fermentation process involves addition of fresh nutrients medium either continuously or intermittent withdrawal of portion of nutrient for recovery of fermentation products. In continuous process, fermenter is in constant usage with little shut down and after initial inoculation of yeast culture, further inoculation is not necessary. Distillation: After fermentation, the next stage in the manufacturing process is to separate alcohol from fermented wash and to concentrate it to 95%. This is called Rectified Spirit(RS). For this purpose, method of distillation is employed. After separation of alcohol, the remaining part is the effluent of the process i.e. spentwash and spent lees.

10 Re-distillation to manufacture Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) ENA is prepared by re-distillation of the rectified spirit (RS) for the removal of impurities like higher alcohols, aldehydes and methyl alcohol. This is done by, remixing rectified spirit with soft water and distilling it in the ENA column. Anhydrous Alcohol (AA) (Fuel Ethanol) Anhydrous alcohol is an important product required by industry. As per IS specification it is nearly 100% pure or water free alcohol. Alcohol as manufactured by Indian distilleries is rectified spirit, which is 94.68% alcohol. It is not possible to remove remaining water from rectified spirit by straight distillation as ethyl alcohol forms a constant boiling mixture with water at this concentration and is known as azeotrope. Therefore, special process for removal of water is required for manufacture of anhydrous alcohol. The various processes used for dehydration of alcohol are as follows. i) Azeotropic Distillation ii) Molecular Sieves iii) Pervaporation / Vapour permeation system.
