4.7 STEAM REQUIREMENT: Steam generated from the boilers will be utilized in the generation of 3.0 MW Power which will be for the own consumption. Steam generated from boiler will also be used for boiler feed water heating and distillery. The steam requirement for different purposes is given in table 4.8 Table-4.8 S. NO. Purpose Steam Required (TPH) 1 Distillation 12 2 MEE 11 Total 23 4.8 PROCESS DESCRIPTION: A. LIQUEFACTION SECTION: In liquefaction process, starch is hydrolyzed to dextrin. The Liquefaction is carried out in Single Liquefaction Tank. Feedstock Flour is transferred to Pre-masher and mixed with Recycle Streams, thin stillage and liquefying enzyme. Slurry from Pre-masher is taken to Liquefaction tank where temperature is maintained by means of steam. Necessary retention time is maintained in the Liquefaction Tank. Slurry ph is maintained by supplying dilute caustic solution. Contents in Slurry Tank are kept in suspension by Agitation. The Liquefied Slurry is then cooled in Slurry Cooler (wide Gap PHE) and transferred to Pre-fermentation and Fermentation section. B HIFERM FERMENTATION: 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. CO 2 evolved during fermentation carries along with it some entrained alcohol. This CO 2 is taken to a CO 2 scrubber where it is washed with water to remove the entrained alcohol. The scrubbed CO 2 can then be taken to CO 2 plant or vented out. After emptying of Fermenter, it is cleaned with CIP using cleaning nozzles. After CIP Fermenter is ready for next batch be filled. 16

C. MPR DISTILLATION WASH TO ENA: Multi-Pressure Distillation system has eight Distillation columns operating at various pressure conditions. Heat energy from columns operating under high pressure is utilized for columns operating under low pressure to optimize the operation for energy consumption. Following Columns will be under operation Analyser Column Degasifying Column Pre-Rectifier Column cum Exhaust Column Extractive Distillation Column Rectifier cum Exhaust Column Recovery Column Simmering Column Pre-heated fermented wash is fed at the top of the Degasifying column. Analyser Column is provided with Reboiler. Top vapors of Analyser column containing all the alcohol in the wash are sent to Pre- Rectifier column. Rest of the fermented wash flows down the Analyser column and is taken out as thick slops from Analyser column bottom. Low boiling impurities are concentrated in the Pre-Rectifier column. A draw of impure alcohol is taken out from the top of the Pre-Rectifier column. RS draw is taken from the top of Pre rectifier column, which further is sent to Extractive Distillation column. Dilution water is fed to this column. The Extractive Column operates on the principle of inversion of relative volatility. Low boiling impurities are separated in the Extractive Distillation Column & bottom is sent to Rectifier cum Exhaust column. The Rectifier/Exhaust column concentrates the alcohol to 96% v/v. The spirit is drawn from the upper trays of the Rectification Column. Fusel oil build up is avoided in the Rectifier cum exhaust column by withdrawing side streams (fusel oils). ED condensates, fusel oil draw from R/E column are sent to Recovery column where these fusel oils are concentrated and then sent to decanter where these streams are diluted with water and fusel oil rich layer is separated. Washings are sent back to the column to recover alcohol. The spirit Draw from the Rectifier column is sent to the Simmering column where methanol is separated in the form of a cut from the top and ENA is taken out from the bottom. ENA drawn from the Simmering Column is taken to the receiver after cooling in ENA cooler. 17

D DECANTATION SECTION EXCLUDING DECANTER CENTRIFUGES Decantation section comprises of a Centrifuge Decanters for separation of suspended solids from Thick slop coming out of Grain Distillation Plant. Wet cake is removed from bottom of Decanter. Thin slops coming out of Decanter are collected in a tank and partly recycled into the process & Evaporation for further concentration. The concentrated thin slops called as Syrup is mixed with Wet cake and sold in wet form as cattle feed (DWGS) Or the entire mixture can be dried in a DWGS Dryer and then sold in dry form as Cattle feed (DDGS). E 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 has been used. The product at the desired concentration of 40%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 / drain 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 vapors. F 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. 18

System Description for Cooling & Conveying: Dry DWGS below product screw is discharged into charging hopper of pneumatic conveying system. Rotary feeder feeds it into the conveying line. Ambient air is used for conveying. The material gets conveyed to product collector & discharged from rotary discharge valve. Exhaust air is vented to atmosphere. The conveying system is lean phase suction type, using centrifugal blower as prime mover. The conveying air quantity is designed considering cooling requirement & to cool the product before discharge G ALCOHOL) MOLECULAR SIEVE DEHYDRATION (MSDH) PLANT: ETHANOL (ABSOLUTE Rectified Spirit containing at least 95% v/v alcohol is pumped from RS feed tank to dehydration section. Rectified spirit is preheated in Feed pre heater with the help of product vapors and then fed to top tray of Evaporator Column. The objective of the Evaporator Column is to evaporate rectified spirit. The Evaporator Column operates under pressure. Energy is supplied to the Evaporator Column through Evaporator Column Re-boiler with steam condensing on shell side. Overhead feed alcohol vapors from the Evaporator Column are then passed through Super heater where alcohol vapors are superheated. Energy for superheating is supplied by steam condensation on shell side of the Super heater. 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 bead regeneration in continuous operation. While one bed is in dehydration mode, the other is in regeneration mode. Depending on feed and product specifications, dehydration-regeneration exchange takes place approximately every few minutes. The feed alcohol vapors are passed through the bed under dehydration mode. The Adsorbent Bed will absorb moisture present in feed vapors and dehydrated product alcohol vapors are obtained from bottom of the bed. 19

The product alcohol vapors are then passed through Regeneration Pre-heater and Feed Pre-heater for heat recovery. The Product alcohol vapors are then passed through Product Condenser where product vapors are condensed with the help of cooling water. Condensed product alcohol is collected in product receiver. The Product alcohol from Product Receiver is pumped to Product Cooler where it is cooled with the help of cooling water and then sent for anhydrous alcohol storage. During regeneration mode, vacuum is applied to the bed under regeneration. A small amount of product alcohol vapors are purged through the bed in regeneration mode under high vacuum, to prepare the desiccant for cycle changeover when this bed goes online. The purged alcohol vapors act as carrier for removal of moisture from the bed. These alcohol vapors along with moisture are obtained from the top of bed. These alcohol-water vapors (regeneration stream) are condensed in Regeneration Condenser, which is attached to Vacuum Eductor. Vacuum is pulled in the system with the help of Vacuum Eductor. Regeneration stream is used as motive fluid for Vacuum Eductor. The regeneration stream coming from the Regeneration Condenser is pumped, preheated in Regeneration Pre-heater and fed to the Evaporator Column for recovery of alcohol. Moisture present in feed alcohol is removed from the bottom of the Evaporator Column in the form of spent lees. After one cycle is over, the beds are interchanged, that is, the bed on dehydration mode will be switch over to regeneration mode and the bed on regeneration mode will be switch over to dehydration mode, with the help of automation system. 20
