The Global transportation sector is facing three major challenges, namely depletion of
fossil fuels, volatility in crude oil prices and stringent environmental regulations.
Alternative fuels specific to geographies can address these issues. Ethanol is considered to
be one of most suitable alternative blending, transportation fuel due to its better fuel
quality (ethanol has a higher octane number) and environmental benefits. The projected
requirement of ethanol based on petrol (gasoline) consumption is estimated. The National
Policy on Biofuels had set a target of 20 per cent blending of bio-fuel by 2025. According
to the report, India’s Ethanol Blending Program stipulates procurement of ethanol
produced directly from B-heavy molasses, sugarcane juice, and damaged food grains.
However, with the proposed target of E20 (blending of 20% Ethanol) the vehicles are now
required to become both materials compatible and tuned for use of E20 fuel. Flex fuel
vehicle is well-accepted concept in other countries. India has also notified the use of E85
and E100 in 2016 and in future the vehicles designing will meet the E85 & E100
compatibility, which will increase the demand of ethanol eventually.
Rice, maize and other grains are one of the main course cereal crops of India. India’s
market year 2015-16 rice ending stocks are estimated to be 18.50 million tonnes (16.2
million government rice and 2.3 million tonnes private) due to higher procurement and
relatively weak off take, according to the FAS. Market year 2016-17 ending stocks are
also forecasted to be higher at 16.4 million tonnes on normal procurement and government
off take. Out of total stock 18.50 million MTs of corn/rice, about 2-3 million MT is
wasted due to grain blackening following un-seasonal rains. This grain is not suitable for
human or animal consumption. Hence, it is sold at a low price and thus gives lower returns
to the farmers. Thousands of the marginal farmers will be benefited if such grains can be
used for alcohol production. The grain based ethanol plant is very promising to new the
technology developments (such as raw starch hydrolysis, new generation of efficient
enzymes, dry germination etc.) taking place in dry milling grain alcohol production, which
will bring down the cost of conversion substantially in future. Under PM-JIVAN scheme,
12 commercial plants and 10 demonstration plants of Second Generation (2G) Bio-
Refineries (using lingo-cellulosic biomass as feedstock) are planned to be set up in area
shaving sufficient availability of biomass so that ethanol is available for blending
throughout the country. Already Rs. 1969.50 Crores have been earmarked for this scheme.
These plants can use feedstocks such as rice straw, wheat straw, corn cobs, corn stover,
bagasse, bamboo and woody biomass, etc.
Therefore, Flyfot Geoworks Private Limited has proposed installation of 100 KLD Grain
based ENA/Ethanol manufacturing plant.
Due to abundant availability of raw materials being used in the grain based distilleries,
there has been a huge demand for grain based extra neutral alcohol for the fast growing
IMFL Industries and for blending in Foreign Liquor outside India, for which has been a
multifold surge in demand.
The National Policy on Biofuels – 2018, provides an indicative target of 20% ethanol
blending under the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme by 2030. Currently petrol
with 10% ethanol blend (E10) is being retailed by various Oil Marketing Companies
(OMCs) in India, wherever it is available. However, as sufficient quantity of ethanol is not
available, therefore, only around 50% of petrol sold is E10 blended, while remaining is
unblended petrol (E0). The current level of average ethanol blending in the country is 5%
(Ethanol Supply Year 2019-20).
Due to several interventions in the supply side of ethanol, the Ministry of Petroleum aims
to achieve 10% ethanol blending levels in the Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) – 2021-22 i.e.
April, 2022.
The finished goods will be sold in domestic market driven by ethanol blending
programme.

Raw material availability & markets for both products & by-products.
Land availability is ensured and already in possession.
No national park, wildlife sanctuary, biosphere reserves, wildlife corridor etc. in 500 m
radius of project site.
Proximity to national highway to optimize transportation costs.
The project site being relatively remote is also compatible with respect to environmental
point of view. Also, resource availability in terms of grains (project site being located in
Haryana which is a major contributor to India’s central pool of food grains) and the
selected project site shall prove ideal. Also, it will help improve employment opportunities
in the area.
The proposed distillery will utilize broken rice, wheat, maize etc. as the basic raw
material to ENA/ Ethanol. The whole integrated approach and production of DDGS &
CO2 (by-products) will result in zero discharge and there will be no process effluent
coming out of the distillery. The process will be based on Dry Milling Technology.
Grain will be received from various sources and pre-cleaned off stones, husk, etc. and
then stored in specially designed storage silos. Grains will be continuously lifted from
the bottom of the silos and screened followed by removal of stones in de-stoner and
iron matters in magnetic separators. Cleaned Grains will then be milled using dry
milling process in Hammer Mills. The flour will be fed through the bucket elevator and
conveyed to the Batch Tipping Machine through a Screw Conveyor.
b. Liquefaction Section
Grain flour will be mixed with Hot Water & Recycled Water streams in a Pre-masher
and Slurry will be fed to Slurry Mixing cum Liquefaction Tank. Required temperature
will be maintained by applying LP Steam through Steam Spargers in Liquefaction
tank. This will be followed by continuous cooking in Jet Cooker. The cooking process,
accomplished in the above manner, will convert the slurry into a liquefied (hydrated),
sterilized suspension (as starch molecule is solubilized) and will be therefore
susceptible to enzyme attack for Liquefaction. The liquefied mash is cooled in slurry
cooler and transferred to Fermentation section.
c. Fermentation Section
vented out. After emptying of fermenter, it will be cleaned with CIP using cleaning
nozzles. After CIP fermenter is ready for next batch to be filled. CO2 Recovery Plant:
During the biochemical reaction in fermentation section, CO2 is generated as by
product along with ethyl alcohol. This raw CO2 gas having 99% v/v purity (DB) is
taken for purification followed liquefaction. Initially gas is taken to Foam trap to
eliminate liquid particle carried over from fermentation section. Here process water is
used to rinse down the foam. Clean gas from Foam trap is then fed to Low pressure
organic removal system with the use of booster blower. Organic impurities associated
with carbon dioxide gas are scrubbed using high efficiency packing. Main impurities
like ethanol, aldehyde, ethyl acetate, are extracted in the scrubbing water through
counter current operation of the scrubber. This purified gas is then fed liquid knock out
drum for removal of water traces. Purified gas is compressed in two stages
reciprocating non lubricated water cooled compressor. This high pressure gas is cooled
down to desired temperature in water cooled after cooler. Additional impurity
separation step is used to enhance CO2 gas purity by scrubbing impurities present in
traces by use of potable water. Odour producing hydrocarbons and other sulphur based
compounds will be removed in adsorption tower by using activated carbon as a media.
De odorized high pressure carbon dioxide gas will be cooled down to remove
significant portion of moisture using ammonia as coolant. It will be further dried in
molecular sieve dehydration unit. This step is essentially required to avoid ice
formation during liquefaction of carbon dioxide. This purified is carbon dioxide gas
will be then liquefied by using refrigeration system. Refrigeration system consists of
screw compressor, pre cooler, refrigerant condenser and accessories. Liquid CO2 still
contains non condensable gases like nitrogen, oxygen which are removed through
venting. Liquid CO2 stripper is used to avoid high vent CO2 losses which uses packed
tower with reboiler and reflux condenser. Oxygenates of nitrogen are removed through
molecular sieve NOx tower. Purified liquid CO2 of desired quality will be then sent to
liquid CO2 storage tank. Liquid storage tank will be equipped with all necessary
accessories like pressure safety valves, insulation. After the scrubber, the pressurized
CO2 will be liquefied and stored in the storage container which will be handed over to
authorized vendors through tankers.
d. MPR Distillation
Fermented wash from wash holding tank is pumped by wash feed pump to the top of
degassing column after preheating the same in beer heater and spent wash heat
exchanger. The vapours along with non-condensable gases from the top of degassing
column are rectified in Heads column, to expel the high volatiles, technically known as
heads. Bottom liquid from the degasser flows into analyser column where alcohol is
stripped from the liquid. The liquid from bottom of analyser column is completely
stripped of alcohol and is pumped out by spent wash discharge pump through heat
exchanger where it preheats the fermented wash before it enters degassing column.
Part of spent wash from a tray, few numbers above the bottom tray is cooled and
oil fractions. The absorber vent is connected to vacuum pump which is used to create
vacuum in the analyser and degasser. The products Rectified Spirit and Impure Spirit
are cooled in product coolers and collected in the respective receiver tanks prior to
pumping the same through respective transfer pumps into storage tanks in the excise
godown. Impure spirit, is however, returned to Ethanol plant along with the rectified
spirit feed, subject to maintaining, the Absolute Alcohol quality required as per market
demand.
f. Decantation Section
g. 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 will be
used. The product at the desired concentration of 20-30 % w/w Total Solids will be
obtained at the outlet of the final effect. Each effect will be provided with recirculation
cum transfer pumps. The condensate from surface condensers will be collected in a
common condensate pot. The condensate will be recycled in the process by pumping
with the help of a centrifugal pump. The system will operate under vacuum. Water-
ring vacuum pumps will be used to maintain a desired vacuum. Cooling water from CT
will be used in the surface condensers for condensing the vapours.
Wet distiller’s grains shall be fed into the dryer housing at controlled rate through a
suitable feeding system. The Rotary Bundle will be enclosed in an insulated dryer
housing and on its outer flights will be fixed. Dry, saturated steam will be supplied to
the bundle through rotary joint at one end & the condensate will be 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 will be
primarily by conduction. The water vapours will be 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 will be controlled through
local indication cum Control panel.
Spent lees (152 TPD) and condensate from dryer (130TPD) will be re-circulated for
CT makeup water.
Thin Slops from the Decanter Centrifuge will be partially recycled to the process (121
KLD) & remaining (419 KLD) will be fed to MEE along with washing effluent (49
KLD) for concentration of remaining solids to form Syrup (60 TPD)
Syrup & wet cake (DWGS) will be combined & sent for drying in a Dryer.
The Cooling Tower blow down (75 TPD), Boiler blow down (10 TPD), WTP
Backwash & sealing water (45 TPD) will be treated in ETP followed by Reverse
Osmosis system & recycled back to process & for CT Makeup.

The thick slop generated from distillation (approx. 635 KLD) will be subjected to
decantation by centrifugation to separate the wet cake and thin slops. Total Thin Slop
generation will be about 540 KLD and wet cake generation will be about 95 TPD.
Part of the Thin Slops (121 KLD) will be re-circulated to the process & remaining (419
KLD) will be fed to Multiple Effect Evaporation (MEE) Plant for concentration of solids.
Multiple Effect Evaporation plant consisting of three effect falling film evaporators and
two effect forced circulation evaporators for concentration of thin slop is proposed. The
concentrated syrup generation from MEE will be 60 KLD.
The thin slop from decantation section is first taken into a feed tank and then fed to the
evaporation system through pre-heater in 1st effect feed mode and it flows from first to
second to third to fourth to fifth effects. The concentrated syrup with 28-35 w/w solids is
taken out from the second effect. The low pressure steam at 3.5 kg/cm2 (g) is supplied to
the first effect shell side.
Vapours generated in the first effect are used as a heating medium in the second effect &
vapours generated in the second effect are used as a heating medium in the third effect and
vapours generated in the third effect are used as a heating medium in the fourth effect.
Vapours generated in the fourth effect are used as a heating medium in the fifth effect.
The slop feed is concentrated from the initial concentration of 3-5 % w/w TS to 28-35 %
w/w TS as it travels through the Multi Effect Evaporator.
The vapours evolved from the fifth effect are condensed in the surface condensers. Each
effect is provided with re-circulation pump. The first effect steam condensate is recycled
back to boiler as it is a fresh steam condensate. The condensate from second, third, fourth,
fifth and surface condensers is collected in a condensate tank. Part of the condensate is
recycled to the process & remaining is transferred to further treatment unit (ETP) using a
centrifugal pump.
The system operates under pressure & vacuum. Water ring vacuum pumps are used to
maintain vacuum in the last effect. The last effect is at lowest temperature. Cooling water
from cooling tower is used in the surface condensers for condensing the vapours from the
last effect.
The concentrated syrup from the evaporation section and wet cake coming from the
decanter bottom is further mixed thoroughly in an agitated mingler to produce DWGS and
then dried in bundle tube type Dryer to produce DDGS (100 TPD) with 10% moisture
content.
The Cooling Tower blow down (75 KLD), Boiler blow down (10 KLD), DM Plant purge
water & sealing water (45 KLD) will be treated in ETP followed by Reverse Osmosis
system & recycled back to process & for CT Makeup. The technology consists of
anaerobic digester, aerobic treatment, filters (MGSF, ACF), UV treatment, U.F. & R.O.
treatment. Thus, the total effluent generated @ 130 KLD will be treated in ETP of
capacity 150 KLD. Treated water from ETP will be completely reused for cooling tower
make-up water thus achieving zero liquid discharge.
1. Boiler & Cooling tower blow down first go to the PHE (Plate Heat Exchanger for
temperature reduction and are then collected in the equalization tank. From the
equalization tank, a constant flow rate of effluent goes to the neutralization tank with
the help of feed pumps. Equalization tank works to maintain the effluent flow rate so
that shock load or fluctuations do not damage the equipment.
2. pH correction is done in the neutralization tank and a motorized agitator is used in this
tank for mixing purpose wherein coagulation & flocculation is done using alum &
polyelectrolytes.
3. The neutralized effluent is then transferred to Anaerobic digester (UASB type), where
effluent is decomposed anaerobically.
4. The sludge from anaerobic digester is settled in lamella settler. The feed BOD & COD
is reduced upto 70% and some quantity of biogas is also released from the anaerobic
digester which gets collected from the top of the tank. The gas is carried through a gas
line equipped with safety devices to the flare stack and is burnt subsequently.
5. After the anaerobic digestion, the effluent goes to the Aeration tank for aerobic
digestion (MBR based -activated sludge process).
6. In the aeration tank, the aerobic bacteria in the presence of air further reduce the
remaining BOD & COD from the effluent.
7. After the aeration tank, the effluent goes to the secondary clarifier for settling the
activated sludge which gets activated and decomposed in the aeration tank by bacteria.
8. A return activated sludge line from the secondary clarifier to the aeration tank is used
to maintain the MLSS and active form of the bacteria so that reduction can be
achieved to a greater extent.
9. After the secondary treatment in the aeration tank and clarifier, the treated effluent
goes to the filter feed tank for UV treatment and then it goes to the MGF & ACF for
further reduction of the suspended particles.
10. After the filters, the treated effluent goes to the water recycle plant via Ultra-Filtration
Plant. In the UF Plant, the ultra-filtration membranes further reduce the suspended
particles and turbidity to make the effluent suitable for the R.O. plant.
11. The permeate from UF plant goes to the 2 stage R.O. Plant and UF reject goes back to
the neutralization tank for treatment.
12. Permeate from R.O. plant is recycled for the CT water makeup and the R.O. reject
with high TDS goes to the Evaporator.
13. The sludge from clarifier goes to the sludge holding tank and then it goes to the
centrifuge system & subsequently to filter press, the filtrate water goes back to the
neutralization tank and solid sludge is generated which is high in nutrients & can be
used as manure.
14. Thus, the distillation plant operations will not release any effluent outside of the
process. The entire effluent will be internally recycled thus achieving Zero Liquid
Discharge.
Fylfot Geoworks Private Limited are planning to set up a 4.0 MW rice husk-based Co-
generation power plant for own power consumption and extraction of steam for
distillation plant.
The industry would install 4.0 MW extraction cum condensing turbine for the captive
power plant. The main components are as follows:
Boiler: The industry plans to install a 35 TPH capacity fluidized bed boiler (FBC) for
the production of 4.0 MW of power with steam. FBC boiler is most suitable
technology for the biomass fuel to be used. When air passes upward at low velocities
through amass of finely divided solid particles (such as ash & crushed refractory) the
particles are not disturbed. As air flow is gradually increased, the particles become
suspended. Further increase in the air flow gives rise to bubble formation and vigorous
turbulence. The bed of solid particles has the same characteristics of the liquid and
thus the bed is termed as Fluidized Bed.
Combustion of fuel in this bed is termed as Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC). The
boiler would be having other auxiliaries as described below;
Drum: The feed input, separation of steam and water & blow down are all carried
through the drum.
Furnace: It is the primary part of boiler where the chemical energy available in the
fuel is converted to thermal energy by combustion. It is designed for efficient &
complete combustion.
Super Heater: These are meant for raising the steam temperature above the saturation
temperature to a maximum of around 440oC (due to the metallurgical problem, the
percentage of heat to super heater is approx. 30%).
De-Super Heater: To control the super heater temperature & always try to maintain
the steam temperature constant during variation of load, de-super heater is used.
Draft System: The combustion process in a furnace can take place only when it
receives a steady flow of air & as the combustion gases are continuously removed.
Economizer: The economizer absorbs heat from the flue gas mainly as sensible heat
to the feed water. By this, the efficiency of boiler is improved.
Water Wall/Evaporator: Where water is converted into steam by latent heat addition.
Support: All modern boilers are top support units. The hanger rods are designed for
the direct tensile stress resulting from the weight of units & the bending stress from the
pressure part expansion.
Soot Blower: Deposits result from combustion of husk & relatively smaller extent
from oil. Means have to be provided to prevent an accumulation of deposit from
chocking the boiler gas passes & to maintain boiler heating surface in a suitably clean
condition for effective heat transfer whilst on load. Steam is used for soot blowing.
Air Heater: It is now an essential boiler auxiliary because hot air necessary for rapid
& efficient combustion in the furnace & also for the husk & to recover waste heat
from the flue gas to increase boiler efficiency.
Primary Fluidizing Air Fan: It is used for fluidizing the bed of fuel and giving the
upward movement.
Forced Draft Fan: To take air from atmosphere at ambient temperature to supply
essentially the combustion air required, in addition to fluidising air.
Induced Draft Fan: To evacuate the gases out of the furnace & exhaust through the
stack. The ID Fan maintains the negative draft inside the furnace.
Ash Collection: The method used for removal of ash from the flue gas consists of
mechanical dust collector & electrostatic precipitator. The mechanical dust collector
removes the coarser particles through cyclones. The ESP consists of two sets of
electrodes. Wires which are charged at HVDC are called emitting electrodes. The
collecting electrodes are in the form of plates, which are at earth potential. The dust
particles in the flue gas get charged while coming in contact with the emitting
electrodes. The charged particles are attracted to the earthed collecting particles and
get discharged and fall down the hopper. Very high efficiency of ash collection upto
99.90% can be achieved in the ESP
