1.4 DEMAND SUPPLY GAP
In terms of source, India ethanol market has been categorized into sugar & molasses based ethanol, second generation (mixed grains) and grain-based ethanol. There are following three major application of Ethanol in India.
· Beverages, disinfectant, personal care, and flavoring & fragrance (45%) · Chemical and Pharmaceutical industry use Ethanol as a solvent (40 %) · Bio fuel i.e. Ethanol-Blended Petrol (EBP) & fuel additive (15%)
Indian government is trying to reduce its dependence on imported crude oil and incentivizing Indian sugar manufacturers to produce ethanol for Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). The average ethanol blend rate recorded in India is 5.8% for 2019 and 4.1% for 2018. In the year 2018 2.7 billion liters Ethanol was produced from molasses. In the year 2019 ethanol production recorded 3 billion liters, which is 11% higher than previous year.
India is the world's fourth largest producer of ethanol after Brazil, the United States of America (USA) and China. The distilleries located in India are mostly preferred to use sugarcane molasses as raw material because of its easy and large scale availability. The process of distillation results in release of large amounts of waste and wastewater, which have a considerable environmental impact by polluting both water bodies and soil, by causing an adverse climatic effect as well as odor nuisance. Mostly distilleries plant concentrated in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.
1.4.1 Imports vs. Indigenous production India has more than 300 distilleries, with a production capacity of about 3.2 billion liters of Rectified Spirit (RS) per year. India Glycols, Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar, Shree Renuka Sugars Ltd., Triveni Engineering & Industries Ltd., Balrampur Chini Mills Ltd., Mawana Sugars Ltd., HPCL Biofuels Limited, Jeypore Sugar Company Ltd., Simbhaoli Sugars Ltd., BSM Sugar and E.I.D Parry India Ltd. etc. are the major players of India ethanol market.
Almost all distilleries produced Ethanol from sugar molasses and satisfactory meet the demand for 5% EBP. However, for 10% EBP, current ethanol production capacities need to be enhanced by expanding the number and production capacities of molasses-based distilleries. The import of ethanol is reduced to great extent due to adequate indigenous production of ethanol in India.

2.7 MANUFACTURING PROCESS Proposed distillery plant is to be based on continuous fermentation process and multi pressure distillation with integrated evaporation system.
2.7.1 Rectified Spirit (RS) The process of converting cane juice/molasses to Rectified Spirit are as under,
· Fermentation: Molasses, diluted with water to the desired concentration is metered continuously into a single tank fermenter or Feed batch fermenter (4 Nos). Additives likes urea (in the form of pellets or prills) and defoaming oil are also introduced in the fermenter as required. There is an automatic foam level sensing and dosing system for defoaming oil.
Every kilogram of alcohol produced, generates about 290 kcals of heat. This excess heat is removed by continuous circulation of fermenting wash through an external plate heat exchanger called the Fermenter Cooler. The fermenter temperature is always maintained between 32 and 35 deg. C, the range optimum for efficient fermentation.
The yeast for the fermentation is initially (i.e. during startup of the plant) developed in the Propagation Section described further on. Once propagated, a viable cell population of about 500 million cells/ml is maintained by yeast recycling and continuous aeration of the fermenter. Fluctuations in the yeast count of +/- 20% have little effect on the overall fermenter productivity. Yeast cell vitality which is usually above 70% may, in times of stress. (such as prolonged shut-downs) drop to 50% without affecting the fermentation.
· Yeast Recycling: The yeast in the fermented wash is removed as a 45 to 555 v/v slurry, and is returned to the fermenter. This feature ensures that a high yeast cell concentration is achieved and maintained in the fermenter. By recirculating grown, active yeast, sugar that would have otherwise been consumed in yeast growth, is made available for ethanol production, ensuring high process efficiency.
· Distillation: Clarified or de-yeasted wash flows by gravity to the propagation vessel No. III, which during continuous production, operates as an intermediate wash tank. From here, fermented wash is pumped to the wash preheater, which uses vapours from the rectifying column to preheat wash. Further heating is done in an exchange of heat with weak wash and spent wash
Preheated wash then enters the degassifying column of the distillation section.
· Primary Distillation: The CO2 and the degassifying section help remove the CO2 and other noncondensables entrained in the wash. The wash column is first column in the distillation section. It is also called the analyser. Wash is boiled in this column with steam either supplied as live steam from the boiler (after pressure reduction and desuperheating) or from a reboiler which generates steam by evaporating effluent wash.
Alcohol in wash vapourises and is carried, along with water vapour, to the top of the wash column from where it goes to the rectification column. As wash travels down the analyser, it is progressively ‘stripped’ of its alcohol content. At a point in the column, where the alcohol concentration is 0.5 to 1.0% v/v, a portion of the wash is drawn off. This is called weak wash.
