• Similipal Biosphere Reserve, at a distance of 11 kms.

• The archeological Site: at 100 km.

• The nearest education and health facility available at Thakurmunda at a distance of 1.0 km.

• The production capacity of the O.S. shop is 1.080 KLD

• Employment Potential of the plant is 10 nos.

• The raw material of the project is Mahua flower, Water and Rice Husk

• The per day requirement of raw material are Mahua flower 956 Kg, Water 6.0 KL and 829 kg of rice husk.

• The Mahua flower and rice husk procured from local market and water sourced from borewell.

• Mohua flower is the only raw material used for country liquor producing. Supply of Mahua flower to individual units is controlled by the State Excise Department. Mohua flower is fermented in 200 litre barrels with water and spent wash, which takes about 3 to 5 day depending on atmospheric temperature. After fermentation is complete, the fermented Mohua along with the liquid in the barrel is transferred into copper vessels for cooking. Rice husk is generally used as the fuel for the purpose. After cooking, the vapours pass through a water cooling system, get condensed and is collected in vessels. The same condensed liquid is the country liquor. Dilution by water is done as per market requirement. Then it is transferred to the packing section to pack in poly pouches. The entire process is controlled by State Excise Department. After cooling and condensation process is over, some liquid and mohua residues are left in the cooking vessel. This is transferred outside to filter out the liquid, called as ‘spent wash’, which has some liquor content and is used in the fermentation barrels to facilitate the fermentation process. No spent wash was found to be thrown out in the above units. The mohua residue and husk ash are solid wastes generated in the units and are reportedly taken by farmers for using in cultivation. Waste water is generated from periodical washing of the fermentation barrels, cooking vessel and the floors. It is estimated that such waste water generation can be maximum 500 litres to 1000 litres per day in one unit. In the entire process of production of country liquor, there is no use of any ail or chemical. Therefore, there is no chance of generation of any hazardous waste like waste oil, oily sludge and oil containing materials. Therefore, the envisaged generation of sludge from the ETP will not be hazardous in nature and can be used as manure similar to STP sludge.

• A chimney of 20’ height & 1’ diameter installed in the furnace to control the air pollution

• The total quantity of 6.0 KL of water required for the plant sourced from borewell inside the plant premises.

• From the process 0.306 TPD of Mahua flower Residue and 0.254 TPD of Husk Ash generated as solid waste. Also 3.0 KL of waste water generated from the unit per day from process.

• The waste water stored in settling tank for reuse in the plant

• The solid waste mahua flower residue used for organic manure and the husk ash for brick making.

• The green belt over 0.20 dec. has developed in the area

• The project cost is Rs. 10,00,000/- (Rupees Ten lakhs only).
