Proposed Expansion of Existing Grain based Distillery from 50 to 250 KLPD (Ethanol/ENA/RS) along with installation of 5.0 MW Co-Generation Power Plant Oasis Distilleries Limited is one of the largest grain based manufacturers of Extra Neutral Alcohol in the country with a captive production of more than 26 crores litres per annum. Oasis Distilleries Limited have five Grain Based Distillery located in North India and are presently supplying grain based ENA to Seagrams (Pernord Richard ) UB Spirits, Allied Blenders and bottlers (Officers Choice Whisky ) and number of other leading houses in the country. Besides this, the company is one of the largest exporters of grain based ENA outside India with an average of 200 250 containers per month. Oasis Distilleries Limited is having its existing Grain based Distillery of 50 KLPD capacity at Village Boralli, Tehsil Badnawar, District Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. (ii) Brief description of nature of the project M/s. Oasis Distilleries Limited has an existing grain based distillery of capacity 50 KLPD and is now proposing expansion in capacity of Grain based Distillery from 50 KLPD to 250 KLPD along with 5.0 MW Co-generation power plant within their existing plant premises at Village Boralli, Tehsil Badnawar, District Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. The Proposed expansion capacity of 250 KLPD will be Grain based alcohol using Grain as raw materials which are abundantly available in the state. The Project is based on zero effluent discharge. The distillery has put up the most modern technology for treatment of distillery spent wash which ensures Zero discharge of distillery effluents. The distillery unit will generate its own electricity by proposed Co-Generation power plant of 5.0 MW. As per EIA Notification dated 14 th September, 2006 and as amended from time to time, the project falls under Category A, Project or Activity 5(g) (i) [Non-Molasses based Distilleries 60 KLPD]. (iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region India has seen a sudden spurt and demand for grain extra neutral alcohol for the fast growing in IMFL Industries and for blending in Foreign Liquor outside India which has been a multi-fold surge in demand. There is still substantial deficiency in supply of grain based ENA and therefore we have identified this potentiality and have decided to go for the Plant expansion to enhance our grain based ENA production. (iv) Demand- Supply Gap The total production of ENA from molasses and grain is 148 crores litres per annum. The total requirement of ENA for IMFL in India is 120 crores litres (35% ENA from grain & 65 % from molasses). Next five year projection ENA from grain 60 % & from molasses 40 % Alcohol produced from molasses also used by oil companies 30.50 crores in the year of 2014-15. Projection for the year 2015-16 50.50 crores litres by the oil companies. Post 2017 India will require 6.30 billion litres of alcohol mainly from molasses for the use in M/s. Oasis Distilleries Limited 6

Proposed Expansion of Existing Grain based Distillery from 50 to 250 KLPD (Ethanol/ENA/RS) along with installation of 5.0 MW Co-Generation Power Plant petrol by the oil companies. Thus the huge demand of ENA made out of grain will arise. (v) Import vs. Indigenous Production Indian market could not meet present alcohol demand. So they import alcohol 5-7% of total demand. As far as ENA production is concerned, Indian market play a vital role at both domestic & international level. So they require produce the more alcohol to meet the demand. (vi) Export Possibility Presently the company is having four other grain based distilleries other than Oasis Distilleries Ltd, Indore situated at Borali village, Dhar, M.P. Our collective grain spirit production is 22 crores litres per annum and the company on an average exports 200 to 250 containers of 20000 litres each outside India from our other units. Looking into the potentiality of further export and the proximity of Company s M.P unit to the port of Kandala, Navashiva and JNPT, the company foresaw tremendous potential in further strengthening its export which will contribute substantially to the state and national exchequer. (vii) Domestic / Export Markets Market depends on excise Department. (viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project The total manpower requirement after the proposed expansion & installation project will be 375. 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION (i) Type of Project including interlinked and independent projects, if any.

Proposed Expansion of Existing Grain based Distillery from 50 to 250 KLPD (Ethanol/ENA/RS) along with installation of 5.0 MW Co-Generation Power Plant 2. Grain Cleaning, Milling and Flour Handling : The grain is lifted in bucket elevators, screened followed by removal of stones and iron matter. Cleaned Grains are then milled using dry milling process in Hammer Mills. The flour is fed through the bucket elevator and conveyed to the Batch Tipping Machine through a Screw Conveyor. The flour addition is metered through the Batch Tipping Machine with load cell arrangement, before transferring the flour to the Slurry Tank through another Screw Conveyor (pre-masher) for slurry preparation process. It is being proposed to have 2 x 8 TPH (+ 1 Standby option) as milling paraphernalia for this Distillery. 3. Slurry Preparation & Liquefaction : Grain flour and process water is fed at controlled rate to Initial Liquefaction tank. Mixed slurry is taken to the Initial Liquefaction Tank where additional quantity of water is added as per requirement. Viscosity reduction Enzyme and stabilizing chemicals and a portion of liquefying enzyme are also added at this stage. This slurry is then cooked in the jet cooker. The slurry is continuously pumped to a steam jet cooker where high-pressure steam rapidly raises the slurry temperature. The mixture of slurry and steam is then passed through the Retention Vessel. The retention vessel has sufficient capacity to provide the desired retention time at a given flow rate. The cooked mash is discharged to a Flash Tank. The cooking process, accomplished in the above manner, converts the slurry into a hydrated, sterilized suspension and is therefore susceptible to enzyme attack for liquefaction. The gelatinized mash from the Flash Tank is liquefied in the Final Liquefaction Tank where liquefying enzyme (alpha-amylase) is added. The liquefied mash is cooled in Mash Cooler and transferred to Saccharification cum fermentation section. This process initiates the formation of sugar. The gelatinized mash from the Flash Tank is liquefied in the Final Liquefaction Tank where liquefying enzyme (alpha-amylase) is added. The liquefied mash is cooled in Mash Cooler and transferred to Saccharification cum Fermentation section. 4. Hiferm-Nm Saccharification and Instantaneous Fermentation: Yeast Activation: Yeast seed material is prepared in water-cooled Yeast Activation Vessel by inoculating sterilized mash with Active Dry Yeast. Optimum temperature is maintained by cooling water. The contents of the Yeast Activation Vessel are then transferred to Fermenter. M/s. Oasis Distilleries Limited 11

Proposed Expansion of Existing Grain based Distillery from 50 to 250 KLPD (Ethanol/ENA/RS) along with installation of 5.0 MW Co-Generation Power Plant Saccharification & Instantaneous Fermentation: The Liquefied starch slurry comprising Dextrins is partly taken for Yeast development in Yeast Activation vessel and majorly transferred into the Fermenter. Amyloglucozydase and other nutrient Enzymes are first added to Saccharify the Starch Slurry causing formation of Sugars. Immediately, the Active Yeast is introduced in the system for simultaneous Fermentation. The process of fermentation is to convert the fermentable substrate into alcohol. To prepare the mash for fermentation, it may have to be diluted with water. The ph of the mash is adjusted by the addition of acid. Yeast is available in sufficient quantity to initiate fermentation rapidly and complete it within the cycle time. At the start of the cycle, the fermenter is charged with mash and contents of the Yeast Activation Vessel. Significant heat release takes place during fermentation. This is removed by passing cooling water through the Fermenter PHE s to maintain an optimum temperature. The recirculating pumps also serve to empty the fermenters into Beer Well. After the fermenters are emptied, they are cleaned with water and caustic solutions and sterilized for the next batch. The carbon dioxide evolved during the process is vented to atmosphere after recovery of alcohol in a scrubber. 5. Multi Pressure Distillation : This process utilizes following columns namely the Analyser, Degassifier, Pre-Rectifier Column, Stripper, Rectifier cum Exhaust, Extractive Distillation (ED) Column, Recovery Column and Simmering Column in ideal heat integration in order to reduce the energy consumption. The Analyzer & Degassifier Columns are operated under Vacuum whereas the Simmering, the Recovery Columns are operated under Atmospheric condition. The Pre-Rectifier, Rectifiercum-Exhaust Columns are operated under Pressure. The energy requirement for Analyser, Degassifier Column is met by Rectifier Column top vapours. The Rectifier Column top vapours are condensed in a thermo-siphon reboilers connected to a flash tank and then flash vapours are injected into Analyser Column. The energy requirement of the Simmering Column is met by the top vapours of Pre-Rectifier Column while that of the Recovery Column is through direct steam. The overall Technical Alcohol / Impure Spirit Cut will be maintained at 7% max. The Distillation Plant shall be designed for use of Grain starch route only. M/s. Oasis Distilleries Limited 12

Proposed Expansion of Existing Grain based Distillery from 50 to 250 KLPD (Ethanol/ENA/RS) along with installation of 5.0 MW Co-Generation Power Plant 6. Alcohol (ENA & TA) Daily Receivers & Bulk Storage : The Extra Neutral Alcohol & Technical Alcohol (Impure Spirit) is first taken to Daily receiver storage tanks, which is based on the State Excise laws, storage for three days considering the weekly holidays of two days. Thereafter, the alcohol is transferred to Bulk Storage Tanks after taking the daily receiver Dip. This is transferred using flameproof pumps. Final dispatch of alcohol is metered and again is carried out using special flameproof pumps. The Bulk Spirit Storage is proposed to be set up for 30 days. EFFLUENT HANDLING SECTION 1. Decantation Section: Decantation section comprises of Centrifuge Decanters, operating at high rpm which are used for separation of suspended solids from Spent Slops coming out of Distillation section. The Wet cake thus separated has 30-35% w/w solids, as removed from bottom of Decanters. This is directly loaded on the trolleys parked below. Thin slops coming out of Decanter are collected in a tank and are transferred for part recycle & further for Evaporation into thick syrup. 2. Integrated Evaporation Section: The suggested treatment scheme is a 2 FF + Finisher Evaporation Plant for Thin Slops Evaporation. The following points will elucidate the basic working principle: Shell & Tube type Evaporators with highly efficient liquid distributor working on the principle of Falling Film Evaporation have been used, with Plate type Preheaters for preheating of FEED stream which serves the purpose of energy conservation. Analyzer vapour is fed to the first effect evaporator shell side at the given pressure and temperature as the heating medium. The Feed from the Feed balance tank is taken to the PHCOND to make the best heat recovery. The Feed after getting heated to the predetermined temperature in preheater is fed from the first effect evaporator which is Falling Film Evaporator -1 The flow path is given below. INLET FEED - ph cond E1 E2 OUTLET PRODUCT Vapours generated in 1st effect VLS (Vapour Liquid Separator) are used as heat source in the 2nd effect. M/s. Oasis Distilleries Limited 13

Proposed Expansion of Existing Grain based Distillery from 50 to 250 KLPD (Ethanol/ENA/RS) along with installation of 5.0 MW Co-Generation Power Plant The product at the desired concentration of TS is obtained at the outlet of the second effect, which is a Falling Film evaporator. A Shell & tube type Multi-pass Surface condenser is employed for condensing the shell side vapours. The Pure and the process condensate are collected in receiving vessels. Highly efficient operating pumps will be provided for pumping the required fluid. The operation of the plant will be under vacuum. Vacuum is created with the help of a water ring vacuum pump. The plant will have high level of automation to get consistent output at required concentration. 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 vapours. CONCLUSION The thick syrup thus obtained is mixed with the Wet Cake obtained from Decanter Centrifuges using specially designed Ribbon type mixer and this enriches the protein content in the fibrous suspended solids separated earlier in Decanter. This Protein & Fibre rich DWGS is directly sellable as Cattle / Poultry Feed. However, the DWGS By-Product has less shelf-life and needs to be consumed within 2-3 days. In order to increase the shelf life of such by-product, it is necessary to dry the product, with minimum possible moisture content. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION FOR DWGS DRYER Wet distiller s grains shall be fed into the dryer housing at controlled rate through a suitable feeding system. The Rotary Tube Bundle is enclosed in an insulated dryer housing and on its outer flights is fixed. Dry saturated steam is to be supplied to the tube bundle through rotary joint at one end & the condensate is discharged through rotary joint mounted at other 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 vapours 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 Control panel. M/s.

Proposed Expansion of Existing Grain based Distillery from 50 to 250 KLPD (Ethanol/ENA/RS) along with installation of 5.0 MW Co-Generation Power Plant B) Power Co-Generation 5.0 MW OPERATIONS The unit proposed a 5 MW Co- Generation Power Plant. After proposed expansion, 65 TPH boiler will be installed which will operate mainly to feed steam to Grain based operations and 5.0 MW power generations from turbine. Co-generation plant consists of a high pressure water tube steam boiler extraction cum condensing steam turbine. Fuel in the steam boiler will be burnt with the help of air in the boiler furnace. Water will be circulated in the boiler drum and tubes thus getting heated by the flame burning in the boiler furnace. Water comes out of the boiler drum located at the top of the boiler as steam. Flue gases rise in the boiler furnace and come in contact with the steam coming out of boiler drum. Steam after coming in contact with flue gases gets heated up further thus getting superheated. Super heated steam leaves the boiler in a pipe. Flue gases after super heating the steam pass through economizer where they pre-heat the boiler feed water before it enters the boiler drum. After economizer, flue gases pass through air pre-heaters where they heat the air which is fed to the boiler furnace for burning the fuel. After air pre heaters flue gases pass through Bag Filter where the dust particles are collected. The dust is collected from here. High pressure superheated steam from boiler is passed through a steam turbine, which is used for distillery process operations. While passing through the turbine, the high pressure and temperature steam rotates the turbine rotor and an electric alternator mounted on the same shaft. Electric power is generated by the alternator. This electric power generated is consumed in house i.e. for running the distillery and utilities like boilers auxiliaries etc. FIGURE 5: Process flow chart for Proposed Co-generation Power Plant M/s.
