utilize 333 TPD crushed sugarcane and 144 TPD of molasses. If molasses will be available the
distillery will be operated for 180 days and will utilize 240 TPD molasses. For proposed
distillery plant total 45.12 acres of land is in possession.
2. Introduction
2.1 Project proponent
Kunjir Bioenergy India LLP is a Limited Liability Partnership firm incorporated on 23rd June
2016. It is registered at Registrar of Companies, Pune. Limited Liability Partnership
identification number is AAG-7616. Designated Partners of Kunjir Bioenergy India LLP are
Amit Laxman Kunjir, Laxman Bhausaheb Kunjir and Aratidevi Amit Kunjir. Its registered
address is Swanand building survey No 52/1, Chandan Nagar, Kharadi, near Vijay Sales
Corporation, Pune 411014.
2.2 Nature of the project
Proposed 60 KLPD distillery will be based on sugarcane juice and molasses as a raw material.
The distillery proposes to achieve zero discharge by implementing multi effect evaporation
followed by spent wash incineration boiler.
2.3 Need of the Project
India is the largest producer of sugar in the world. The annual projected growth rate in the
area under sugarcane at 1.5% per annum has doubled during the last five years. This is
because it is considered to be an assured cash crop with good returns to the farmer’s visa-a-
vis other competing crops.
India is currently passing through a glut situation with closing stocks at the end of the year
of over 100 lakh tons since 1999-2000. Correspondingly, molasses production has also
increased. The production of molasses, alcohol utilization by the alcohol-based chemical

Prefeasibility Report
industry, potable sector and the surplus at the end of each year. It is therefore evident that
along with sugarcane production, phenomenal growth is also taking place in the production
of molasses, the basic raw material for the production of ethanol from sugarcane.
Alcohol production in the country has been lagging behind around 1500-1700 million liters
per annum. Ethyl alcohol, alcohol, ethanol, spirit, denatured spirit, etc. these are various
descriptions for this agriculture-based product. It is a globally traded commodity, and finds
its way in pharmaceutical and chemical industries, across the world.
The use of agro-based alcohol for manufacture of industrial chemicals and fuel ethanol
depends upon the crude oil prices. The recent trend of increase in the crude oil prices shows
possibilities of greater use of agro based alcohol for various applications. This clearly
indicates that all over the globe there will be tremendous demand for agro-based alcohol
for industrial as well fuel purpose. The company proposes to manufacture ENA, Rectified
Spirit, and Technical alcohol from molasses.
2.4 Demand and supply gap
Alcohol has assumed very important place in the country’s economy. It is a vital raw
material for a number of chemicals. It has been a source of a large amount of revenue by
way of excise duty levied by the Govt. on alcoholic liquors. It has a potential as fuel in the
form of power alcohol for blending with petrol & diesel. Also, the fermentation alcohol has
great demand in countries like Japan, U.S.A., Canada, Sri Lanka etc. as the synthetic alcohol
produced by these countries, from naphtha of petroleum crude, is not useful for beverages.
The present average alcohol production from molasses in the country is around 2500 million
liters per annum. Present consumption of ethanol in the potable, chemical and other sectors
(excluding for petrol blending) is about 1800 million liters per annum. Therefore, the net
availability of ethanol for Fuel blending is about 700 million liters per annum. However, at
the current levels of petroleum consumption, Ethanol requirement for 5% blending is about
1100 million liters per annum and for 10% blending it is 2200 million liters per annum.
The present availability of alcohol cannot meet the entire demand. The alcohol industry
situation in India is characterized by continued demand supply gap, despite capacity
additions over the years.

2.5 Import V/s Indigenous generation
India is the fourth largest producer of alcohol in the world and there has been a steady
increase in its production over the last 15 years. The production doubled from 887.2 million
liters in 1992-93 to 1,654 million liters in 1999-2000 and almost trebled to 2300 million liters
by 2007-08. There are about 356 molasses based distilleries in the country. Among these,
about 141 distilleries are attached to sugar Industry (Source– August 2014; Vo .45, No.12
Cooperative Sugar).
In India alcohol is largely produced in the form of,
i) Rectified Spirit (RS) (95 to 96 % v/v ethanol) which is mainly used for industrial
applications in the form of Ordinary Denatured Spirit or Special Denatured Spirit
ii) Extra Neutral Alcohol (96 % v/v ethanol) mainly used for manufacture of potable liquors
iii) Fuel Ethanol or Absolute Alcohol (AA) (99.8 % v/v) mainly used for blending with petrol.
The present average alcohol production from molasses in the country is around 2500 million
liters per annum. Present consumption of ethanol in the potable, chemical and other sectors
(excluding for petrol blending) is about 1800 million liters per annum. Therefore, the net
availability of ethanol for Fuel blending is about 700 million liters per annum. However, at
the current levels of petroleum consumption, Ethanol requirement for 5% blending is about
1100 million liters per annum and for 10% blending it is 2200 million liters per annum. It is
learnt that Oil companies are able to provide about 440 million liters of ethanol as against
the 1100 million liters target for the five per cent mix. The National Biofuels Policy envisages
the blending of alcohol to be enhanced to 20% by 2017. If this policy is to be implemented in
letter and spirit, the demand for alcohol is likely to be increased significantly in the country.
It may be noted that the alcohol production from grain based distilleries is largely used for
potable purposes.
Before the introduction of Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) by the Government, ethanol had
two major consumers – the liquor industry (country liquor & IMFL), which consumed 55-60
% of the production, and the chemical industry that consumed 40-45 %. These sectors have
also been stating that ethanol availability is not sufficient to meet their current needs. The
blending programme 6 might therefore force the country to import ethanol, which may be
uncompetitive.

3.5 Manufacturing process details
The distillery will use molasses/ molasses and sugarcane juice as raw material in the
production of rectified spirit. The process description of molasses based alcohol production
is as follows,
Feed preparation and weighing
Dilution: Preparation of molasses for fermentation by appropriate dilution with water
Fermentation: Production of alcohol from fermentable sugars in molasses solution
with the help of yeast
Distillation: Product recovery through distillation processes
3.5.1 Feed preparation and weighing
Molasses
Molasses stored in a storage tank is first weighed in a tank with load cells so that
accurate quantity can be fed to the fermentation section. The weighed molasses then
transferred from tank to the dilutor in fermentation section where it is diluted with
water and fed to the Fermenter.
3.5.2 Dilution
The molasses contains about 50% sugar. The main dilution operation occurs in a
diluter where the solid concentration is brought down to 20°-25° Brix. The bulk of this
diluted molasses is fed to the fermentation Tank while a small quantity is further
diluted to 10°-15° Brix and used for preparation of the final yeast inoculum. Additives
like urea and de-foaming oil are also introduced in the fermenter as required.
Propagation of yeast for the final inoculation is done in successive stages in volumes of
10, 100, 1000 and 10,000 liters where, in each stage, 10 parts of diluted molasses is
inoculated with 1 part of yeast culture.

3.5.3 Fermentation
Continuous fermentation with special yeast or alternate dry yeast:
The continuous fermentation proposed is the latest and proven technology as
compared to the old batch fermentation technology. It has many advantages like
continuity of operation, higher efficiency and ease of operation. Continuous
fermentation also results into consistent performance over a long period as
compared with batch fermentation. Most modern ethanol production plants adopt
this continuous fermentation technology. Considering all the above advantages,
have proposed to adopt the efficient continuous fermentation in the distillery.
The fermentation process employs a special yeast culture, which can withstand
variations in the cane juice quality, temperature and other shock loads. Alternatively,
the dry yeast can also be used in the fermentation
Fermentation plant consists of two numbers fermenter tanks connected in series
with all the accessories like plate heat exchangers for cooling, sparges, broth mixers
and air blowers etc.
The yeast is specially re activated in yeast vessels and it remains in the fermentation
plant throughout and hence it gives tremendous advantages in maintaining the yeast
population and in combating the bacterial infection.
The technology is called continuous mixed bed fermentation (CMB) and which is the
latest technology available in the industry at present.
Fermentation process continues for about 30 to 45 hours after the final inoculum of
yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) addition. Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolize
sugar in the absence of oxygen, they produce ethanol and CO2.
To help the fermentation sustain the assimilable nitrogen are added in the medium
in the form of Urea and DAP as required.
The fermentation process is exothermic in nature. 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-
340C, the optimum range for efficient fermentation.

Air blower is provided to supply the necessary oxygen required for the yeast and also
for agitation.
After completion of reaction the fermented wash is delivered to Wash Settling
Clarifier. In Wash Settling Clarifier, settable solids settle down.
A yeast centrifuge system will be provided to recover the yeast and circulate back to
the yeast activation vessel after acid treatment.
The supernatant goes to Buffer Wash Tank (BWT) and sludge from bottom goes to
Sludge Tank.
The CO2, which is liberated from fermentation, is scrubbed in water, with the help of
CO2 scrubber. This CO2 contains ethanol, which is recovered by collecting CO2
scrubber water into sludge trough. The diluted sludge is pumped into Sludge Settling
clarifier. The traces of ethanol present in diluted sludge are separated at the
supernatant, which is collected into BWT through overflow, and washed sludge from
bottom is drained off.
The fermented mash collected in the Clarified Wash Tank (CWT) is then pumped to
Primary/analyzer column for distillation.

3.5.4 Vacuum Distillation
The vacuum distillation has many advantages over conventional distillation and
atmospheric distillation plants like lower energy requirement, good quality alcohol and
less scaling of the distillation trays due to sludge.
The vacuum distillation produces ethanol of international quality standards and there
is a lot of demand of ethanol from the vacuum distillation process.
The vacuum distillation approximately requires 50% less steam as compared with the
conventional old distillation technologies.
The vacuum distillation consists of distillation columns with high efficiency column
trays, condensers, re-boilers, vacuum pumps and reflux pumps. A closed loop cooling
tower system with an induced draft-cooling tower with circulation pumps is also
provided to ensure higher cooling efficiency and to minimize water wastages.
In this vacuum distillation ethanol is separated and concentrated using principal of
fractional distillation. This is based on difference in boiling points of volatile
compounds in mixture.
The plant can be operated under two different modes to produce Rectified Spirit (RS) or
Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) as desired.
The distillation system generally comprises, analyzer column with de-gasifier column, pre-
rectifier, Rectifier cum Exhaust Column, Purification Column.
After fermentation, the fermented wash is fed to analyzer column.
Before feeding to column it is preheated. In the first stage the Fermented wash is
heated up 650 C in Beer heater by condensing vapors from pre rectifier column.
The pre-heated wash drips down the analyzer and is discharged on the perforated plate
or tray.
The wash on its way down, meets the super-heated steam rising up the column. The
volatile components in the wash, including the ethanol, are evaporated by the steam;
the rest falls down to the bottom of the column and finds its way out as spent wash.
As the vapor mixture of steam and volatile components rises up into the column, it
vaporizes the liquid on successive plates, carrying its volatile vapors along. The rising
vapors get enriched (concentrated) in volatiles including alcohol, as they bubble

Prefeasibility Report
through the successive plates above, along the height of the column. Consequently the
vapors leaving the top of the analyzer are free from most water and enter the bottom
of the pre-rectifier column, where the remaining water is removed.
The vapors from the Analyzer Column are then fed to the pre-rectifier column for
further rectification.
In the pre-rectifier, the vapors again, begin to rise but are cooled by the fresh wash
descending through the coiled pipe. The high-boiling point components such as fusels
along with water and some ethanol (called feints) condense quickly at the bottom of
the column.
They are recycled to the analyzer for re-distillation and eventually fusels are drawn off.
High concentration spirit is drawn from top section of the column and is fed to purifier
Column for further purification.
3.5.4.1 Process of manufacture of Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA)
1. Extra Neutral Alcohol is manufactured from Rectified Spirit.
2. The impurities in Rectified Spirit are reduced by properly diluting and redistilling the
spirit.
3. The impurities like aldehydes, acids, Esters, higher alcohols are minimized by
controlled condition and trapping impurities at appropriate points during distillation.
4. The main stages in the manufacture of Extra Neutral Alcohol are dilution of Rectified
Spirit with filtered soft water in the ratio 1:3 to 1:4.
5. Separation of low boiling impurities takes place in purifying column, separation of
esters and other volatile impurities in Rectifying column
6. Removal of excess water takes place at exhaust column.
The Distillation process is operated through Programmable Logical Control (PLC).
Process flow chart describing distillation process is given in Fig. 4.

3.5.4.2 Molecular Sieve Technology for Ethanol
Molecular sieve technology works on the principle of pressure swing adsorption. Here
water is removed by adsorbing on surface of `molecular sieves' and then cyclically
removing it under different conditions (steaming).
Molecular sieves are nothing but synthetic zeolites typically 3A zeolite.
Zeolites are synthetic crystalline aluminosilicates.
This material has strong affinity for water. They adsorb water in cold condition and
desorb water when heated.
This principle is used to dehydrate ethanol.
The crystalline structure of zeolites is complex and gives this material the ability to
adsorb or reject material based on molecular sizes.

Prefeasibility Report
Water molecule can enter the sieve and be adsorbed, but larger alcohol molecule will
not be retained and will go through the bed.
There can be two to three beds in parallel. Once a particular bed is saturated with
water, it is heated with steam so that adsorbed water is desorbed from the bed. Till
that time, other bed is used for dehydration.
This type of system is characterized by high capital investment. Low steam
consumption and low power consumption as compared to distillation. The only
disadvantage of molecular sieves is the high attrition rates of sieves in case of small
plants.
Hence, typically, some amount of sieve material needs replacement periodically,
thereby resulting in higher cost of production in case of small capacity plants.
In case of large capacity plants, the molecular sieve is the most optimum both in terms
of initial investment & operating cost.
3.5.5 Manufacturing process of ethanol from sugarcane juice
Sugarcane is directly taken as per the availability of the cane area, which is being
transported through trucks, or bullock carts, which is then weighed for records and
then cut into specified sizes.
These sizes are treated with Luke water treatment so as to give maximum outputs
with lower contamination.
The cane is further crushed in the mill in three phases in order to extract more juice
percentage say about 95%. This juice is carried to the storage tank for further
process. Before taking the juice into fermentation house a specific study of mass
balance and chemical composition is studied and taken note. Few chemicals
(activators) & nutrition are added to the juice to activate the juice and prepare for
fermentation.
The unwanted suspended material is then separated. The juice is then taken to the
fermentation house for fermentation. Here it is kept in the fermentation process.
By adding microorganisms’ culture of as per availability, the fermented juice is
prepared for further process. The water content in the fermentation column is
reduced and thus the juice is prepared for distillation.

Prefeasibility Report
The distillation column converts the juice by reducing the water content of it for
getting Rectified spirit / special denatured spirit.
First Rectified spirit/special denatured spirit which is 94.68% alcohol, and rest is
water is produced in the distillation column. In order to get Ethanol, which has to be
nearly 100% pure and water free alcohol, further steps to remove the 6% of water is
taken. It is not possible to remove remaining water from rectified spirit / special
denatured 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 absolute alcohol.
In order to extract water from alcohol it is necessary to use some dehydrate or
restrainer, which is capable of separating, water from alcohol.
