factory and the profitability of the project he decided to expand the Sugar factory

with Co‐Generation.

2.4. Demand‐Supply

The existing Sugar factories could not crush all available cane from the areas of operation and hence, rest of the sugarcane is being taken to the sugar factories in neighbouring districts of and Maharashtra. Presently, the cane grown by farmers are diverting to the sugar factories located in Maharashtra, in this connection farmers are suffering like delay in disposal, less price, less payment etc., Thus, the farmers are facing problems of disposal of sugarcane in 3‐4 seasons. This situation has demanded to need Sugar units at this area.

The demand for electrical power has been increasing at a faster pace after the countryʹs economic development the pace speeded up, especially in Karnataka

which has been the hub of software services. The effective generation of power has not been meeting the demand and the same trend is expected to continue,

especially during the peak hours and summer seasons. Hence, there is good scope

for exporting power to the third parties using the state grid through power traders /

purchasers.

Sugar manufacturing process

Sugar cane is the raw material for manufacture of sugar. Juice is extracted from the

sugar cane, which is then processed to recover sugar. Bagasse, which is the left out fibre material after extraction of juice from sugar cane, is used as fuel in boiler to

produce steam. Steam is used for generation of electric power and exhaust steam is

used for evaporation of water in the juice.

The flow diagram of sugar manufacturing process is given in figure below. A brief

description of the process is given below.

Crushing of Sugar cane

Sugar cane is harvested and dresses in the fields and then supplied to factories

through lorries, tractor‐trailers or bullock carts. Crushing takes place mainly in two

stages; first preparation and then milling. Preparation is done in leveller, cutter and fibrizer. The prepared cane is then crushed by passing through mills. Hot water is

added in the course of crushing as imbibition water for better extraction of juice from

sugar cane. After crushing, the bagasse is sent to boiler as fuel and juice is sent for

purification & recovery of sugar.

Juice Clarification

The weighed quantity of juice is primarily heated to 70‐75oCin juice heaters and then

treated with sulphur and lime. Then the treated juice is again heated to 100‐1020 C in

Mylar Sugars Ltd.,

11 another set of juice heaters. The hot juice is sent to clarifier. Clarified juice is

decanted out and sent for evaporation in a set of multiple effect evaporate bodies.

The juice of 15o Brix is concentrated in the evaporators to syrup of 60o Brix.

Crystallization

The syrup is sent to pan floor for further concentration in vacuum pans. The syrup

collected in supply tanks is taken to pans for boiling where the syrup concentrates

and attains super saturation stage. In such a condition sugar grains are formed in the

syrup. The syrup mass with sugar particles is called massecuite. The massecuite is

dropped in crystallizers and cooled to complete the crystallization.

Curing or Centrifuging

Massecuite is taken into the high speed centrifugal machine. Sugar crystals are

separated from mother liquor and sent to driers. Non crystallisable matter from the

massecuite called molasses, is drained out from the centrifuge. The molasses is

weighed and sent to storage tank.

Drying, Grading and Bagging

Sugar is dried in the vibrating hopper and graded by passing through standard

sieves. The graded sugar is bagged, weighed for 50/100 Kgs net, stitched, numbered

and stacked in sugar godown.

Process flowchart of Cogeneration process DISTILLERY SECTION FERMENTATION Molasses, diluted with water to the desired concentration is metered continuously into a single tank fermenter. Additives like 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 Kcal 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 start‐up of the plant) developed Mylar Sugars Ltd.,

16 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 toʹ50% without affecting the fermentation.

Fermented wash passes through a series of hydrocyclones (one to three or move in number depending on plant capacity), which remove grit, iron filings and similar heavy particulate matter. This rejected material along with some wash, is taken to the bottom portion of the wash column for alcohol recovery.

The overflow from the first hydrocyclone is taken a wash tank, also provided with an arrangement to facilitate removal of heavy settable particulate matter. Overflow from the wash tank is taken to the yeast separator, which clarifies the wash. The hydrocyclone and the wash tank protect the separator from erosion damage by removing grit and similar hard particles.

 Yeast Recycling: The yeast in the fermented wash is removed as 45 to 55 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 (see flow sheet for primary distillation).

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 non‐condensables 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 Mylar Sugars Ltd.,

17 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 ʹstrippedʹ 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.

 Weak Wash Recycling: Weak wash recycling of weak wash helps maintain the desired level of dissolved solids in the fermenter, so that an adequately high osmotic pressure is achieved. Osmotic pressure and the concentration of alcohol in the fermenter, together keep off infection and minimize sugar losses. Weak wash recycling also reduces the quantity of effluent spent wash and reduces the process water requirement of the plant.

Spent wash is the wash from which all alcohol has been removed, this emerges from the bottom of the wash column at about 105 deg C. Some of the heat is recovered to preheat fermented wash entering the degassifying column.

Spent wash may also be passed through a forced circulation reboiler to generate vapours. This concentrates the effluent and reduces the volume further.

 Propagation: The propagation section is a feeder unit to the fermenter. Yeast, either Saccharomyeescereviseae or Schizosaccharomyeespombe (the choice being determined by other process parameters, mainly the downstream effluent treatment system) is grown in 3 stages. The first two stages are designed for aseptic growth. Propagation vessel III develops the inoculum using pasteurized molasses solution as the medium. This vessel has a dual function. During propagation, it serves for inoculum build‐ up. When the fermenter enters the continuous production mode, Propagation Vessel III is used as an intermediate wash tank. Propagation is carried out only to start up the process initially or after very long shut‐downs during which the fermenter is emptied.

 CO2 Scrubbing and Recovery: The carbon‐di‐oxide produced during fermentation is scrubbed with water in packed‐bed scrubber, to recover alcohol. The water from the scrubber is returned to the fermenter. About Mylar Sugars Ltd.,

18 1.0 % of the total alcohol production is saved by scrubbing the fermenter off gas. In plants where it is desired to recover carbon‐di‐oxide, a part of the wash is drawn into a separate vessel and is aerated there. This external

aeration allows the recovery of CO2 uncontaminated with air.

 Fermentation Parameters (Typical): The pH of the fermenter is maintained between 4.0 & 4.8 usually without addition of any acid. The alcohol concentration is maintained between 7.0 & 7.5 % v/v, unless a highly concentrate effluent is to be produced. To reduce the effluent volume, the fermenter is operated at a very high dissolved solids level by increasing the proportion of weak wash recycle. Under these conditions, alcohol concentration is reduced to between 5.5 to 6.0 % v/v.

Conversion of sugar to ethanol is instantaneous, and the residual sugar concentration is maintained below 0.2 % w/w as glucose. This usually corresponds to a residual reducing substances concentration of 2.0 to 2.5 w/w in wash.

All the nutrient elements necessary for yeast growth exist in adequate quantities as impurities in molasses. Occasionally, Nitrogen may have to be supplemented. Defoaming oil (DFO), say Turkey Red Oil is added to the fermenter by an automated DFO dosing system, to control foaming. Usually no other additives are required.

 Flexibility: This process accords tremendous flexibility to the operator. Process conditions and plant design can be varied to suit individual requirements of alcohol quality, effluent concentration and characteristics. This unit can give spent wash suitable for use in any effluent treatment process.

2. MULTI PRESSURE VACUUM DISTILLATION:

After fermentation the next stage in the manufacture of alcohol is to separate alcohol from fermented wash and to concentrate it to 95% alcohol called as rectified spirit. For this purpose, distillation process is employed.

Distillation step consumes a considerable amount of energy and is also a deciding factor in the quality of ethanol produced. Hence, in line with the demand of the industry, efforts have always been to minimize requirement of energy and to Mylar Sugars Ltd.,

19 improve the basic quality of alcohol produced. Ease of operation, reliability, lower down time and flexibility of operations are other parameters considered during the design.

Three basic types of plant are designed: a) One is to produce primary quality of alcohol, usually referred to as ʹRectified Spiritʹ (R.S.) from the fermented wash. Such plants are also referred to as ʹPrimary distillationʹ plants. b) Second is to produce fine quality of spirit usually referred to as ʹExtra Neutral Alcoholʹ (ENA) starting from R.S. Such plants are also referred to as ʹsecondary distillationʹ plants. c) Third is to directly produce fine quality alcohol (ENA) from fermented wash. Such plants are referred to as ʹwash (mash) to ENAʹ plants, where the two steps of primary and secondary distillation are combined. Such plants usually have lower consumption of energy than two separate plants.

Multi‐pressure vacuum distillation system for production of Rectified Spirit /ENA consists of following distillation columns namely 1. Degasifying cum analyzer column ‐ Operation under vacuum 2. Pre‐rectification column ‐ Operation under vacuum 3. Rectification cum Exhaust Column ‐ Operated under pressure 4. Recovery column ‐ Operated under atmospheric 5. Extractive distillation column ‐ Operated under vacuum 6. Simmering column ‐ Operated under atmospheric

Benefits of Pressure Vacuum Distillation: ‐ Following are the advantages of pressure vacuum distillation.  Since the analyzer column operates under vacuum, the formation of by‐ products such as acetal may minimize there by improvement in quality of alcohol.  Pre‐rectification column ensure removal of sulfur compounds/mercaptans and also reduces load of lower boiling volatile compounds passing on to Rectifier cum exhaust column.  The chances of scaling due to invert solubility of certain precipitating inorganic salts are minimized in vacuum distillation.  Vacuum distillation requires low steam consumption with reboiler

Mylar Sugars Ltd.,

20 Integrated Multi‐products Concept: ‐

It is now possible to install a distillation system, which can produce different products. In the proposed scheme; the production of fuel ethanol has been considered. This allows flexibility of operation and various products can be manufactured depending on the market demand. This integrated multi‐product system involves less capital investment as compared to independent system.

In this type of system, switching over from one product to another is quite easy and there is no chance of contamination of one product with another. The system can work under multi‐pressure principle with few columns operating under vacuum and few under pressure/atmospheric.

3. Dehydration of Alcohol

Molecular Sieve:

The feed (Rectified Spirit) ,pumped from the storage tanks, Is heated through the heat exchanger by the dehydrated alcohol ,then heated Rs of 93% to 96% is fed to the top of the distillation column.

The liquid passes through the distillation column where ethanol is stripped of. The alcohol free liquid called spent lees is separated and discharged from the bottom of the distillation column and the ethanol stream, with strength of about 96% by volume, is removed as vapor, at the top section of the distillation column and feed to the molecular sieve unit after a super heating about 115°C by steam in the heat exchanger.

Fuel oils are removed from an intermediate point of the column in order to avoid any risk of flooding of the column and feed to the static settling device where are separated from the weak water which are recycled to the column.

The distillation column has an operating pressure of about 160 kPa(A) and is heated with low pressure steam by means of reboiler.

This solution shows following advantages:

 Total recovery of steam condensate which is recycled to the steam boiler at high temperature with consequent increasing of the efficiency of the reboiler (higher production of steam per unit of fuel) Mylar Sugars Ltd.,

21  Lower cost for softening of demineralization of raw water to be fed to the boiler as steam condensate does not need any treatment  Lower quantity of stillage, potential source of pollution

The super heated ethanol stream removed at the top of the distillation column feeds one of the two sieve beds is now in regeneration mode.

The second sieve bed when in regeneration mode (under vacuum) and receives a small amount of vapour from bed working in over pressure. As soon as regeneration is finished (a regeneration cycle lasts about 5 minutes), an automatic control system changes the operating conditions of the two sieve beds in order to have the first sieve bed in regeneration and the second one in dehydration mode.

The dehydration process releases a vapour ethanol stream with a very small amount of water (500 p.p.m or less), which is condensed in the condensor cooled in the heat exchangers and sent to the storage as dehydrated alcohol. The regeneration process releases a certain amount of absorbed water and ethanol, which are condensed in the condenser and recycled to the column.

Cooling media of the first cooling step of the dehydrated alcohol (condenser) is the regeneration stream recycled to the distillation column and cooling media of the second cooling step of the dehydrated alcohol (condenser) is the fed stock coming from the storage tanks, which is preheated as herein above described. Remaining vapors and liquid are condensed and cooled by cooling water in S & T or P&F heat exchangers. The unit operation is fully automatic and all operations are governed by logics executed by a PLC Control system.

Spent wash treatment ‐

Incineration:

The spent wash which is generated after recovery of alcohol from the distillery is a highly pollutant liquid which will cause great pollution to receiving body like land or water. Hence this needs to be taken care. The latest technology developed to achieve the zero discharge is spent wash incineration boiler. This is a specially designed boiler which will burn the concentrated spent wash along with the coal as supporting fuel. The ratio of this spent wash to coal is 75 : 25.

Mylar Sugars Ltd.,

22 In this specially designed boiler after burning the spent wash we can generate the steam which is required to run the distillery. In turn, we can save bagasse or coal upto some extent. The calorific value of the concentrated spent wash is 1705 K Cal. Hence this special technology helps us in achieving zero discharge of spent wash. The air pollution causing from this boiler is also very minimum and normal bag house filters can be used as air pollution control equipment to achieve SPM <100μgm/Nm3. The ash collected from the bag filters will be utilized as manure.

This technology helps us in generating steam, power and most important is achieving zero discharge of spent wash.

3.7. Resource optimization/recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any, should be briefly outlined.

The cane sugar factory has unique characteristics for the application of cogeneration

technology. The principal advantages lie in the good fuel characteristics of bagasse

and in the high uses of low‐pressure steam within the plant. In conventional power

plants, most of the heat that is obtained by burning fuel is thrown away in the form

of low‐pressure steam as the steam condenses and heats cooling water. In the sugar

factory, the heat in low‐pressure steam is used to perform such work as juice

heating, evaporation and sugar boiling. During the process steam condenses.

A well‐known option for sugar mills to increase their profitability is bagasse

cogeneration. At present, bagasse is burnt inefficiently in low‐pressure boilers to

raise steam. Cogeneration has long been a standard practice in the cane sugar

industry. With the application of efficient processing and energy management systems, energy from the bagasse, well above the factory needs, is available and can

be exported conveniently in the form of electric power. Application of sugar

cogeneration will displace a part of fossil‐based electricity generation leading to a

more sustainable mix in power generation.

Process Description:

Screen Channel & O&G Trap

The raw effluent from process will comes to screen channel of effluent

treatment plant by pumping . The separation of floating matter from effluent

takes place in screen channel. Further on downstream of screen separation of

floating oil from effluent will takes place in O&G Trap. The oil collected on

top is removed by belt skimmer.

Equalisation Tank (EQT)

Effluent will be received under gravity in the Equalisation Tank from O&G

Trap. Static mixer is provided in this tank for mixing purpose and equalizing

the flow & characteristics variation coming in the raw effluent. Effluent

transfer pumps are provided for this tank to transfer effluent to downstream

buffer tank.

Buffer Tank

Mylar Sugars Ltd.,

29 Effluent comes to buffer tank by transfer pumps at EQT. Part of the treated

effluent from UASBR is recycled back in this tank. Hydrolysis of complex

organic matter present in the effluent takes place in this tank. The

homogenized effluent from Buffer Tank shall then pump into downstream

UASBR for anaerobic treatment of effluent.

Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor (UASB R)

UASB reactor consists of M.S. fabricated tank consist of feed distribution

network at t he bottom, Sludge blanket at approx. mid height of reactor and

the gas, liquid, solid separator (GLSS structure) at the top of the reactor. In

UASB process the bacteria responsible for digestion of organics are present in

the form of sludge blanket. The bacterial population grows and reside a s

bacterial flocs suspended in the Upflow effluent stream. The bacteria take

upon organic content of wastewater to metabolize it and produce bio gas and

new biomass. UASB reactor operates in the mesophilic range of temperature,

i.e. 36O – 40OC. The pH inside the reactor is usually kept around near neutral

while proper ratio of volatile acid and alkalinity is maintained.

Biogas is collected at the top of the reactor in GLSS structure an d burnt in

flare stack. If biogas utilization is aimed for, biogas‐hand ling units such as

gash older, blower and burners etc. will have to be additionally provided. The

anaerobically treated effluent is collected from the network of gutters and

launder and sent to aerobic treatment units.

Extended Aeration Tank (EAT)

Anaerobically treated effluent from UASB enters into downstream Extended

Aeration Tank. In EAT, microorganisms degrades soluble organics

aerobically. In order to ensure required population of bacteria in EAT, a

requisite Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS) is maintained in EAT. To

Mylar Sugars Ltd.,

30 maintain requisite MLSS and Food to Microorganism s ratio (F/M ), the settled

sludge from Clarifier is part of recirculated back to aeration tank. An aeration

consists of surface aerators for providing oxy gen to bio mass and system

mixing of tank content

Secondary Clarifier The mixed liquor from EAT enters in downstream feed

well of secondary clarifier for separation of solids and liquid. The clarifier is a

hopper bottom circular tank equipped with rotating scrapper mechanism. In

clarifier tank, solids get settled & accumulate in bottom hopper by rotation of

scrapper mechanism . The supernatant from the clarifier overflows uniformly

over the peripheral weir and passes through launder for further downstream

treatment. A part of excess sludge from the clarifier is re‐circulated back to

aeration tank while balanced is wasted to sludge drying beds for dewatering

& drying.

MGF Feed Tank & MGF (Multigrade Filter)

The overflow from Secondary Clarifier get collects into MGF Feed Tank. From

MGF feed tank treated effluent feds into Multigrade Filter (MGF) under

pressure. The separation of fine suspended particles takes place into MGF and

outlet gets collects into treated water tank for further storage and disposal.

Sludge Drying Beds

In aerobic digestion the sludge is sufficiently mineralized and does not need any further

treatment before dewatering and disposal. Sludge Drying Beds are provided

for dewatering of sludge on sand & gravel beds and drying of sludge cake by

solar radiation. Sludge Drying Beds are constructed in brick masonry with

gravel bed supporting sand media on them. Beds are also provided with

suitable under drain arrangement to collect filtrate from sludge. T he collected

filtrate is again recycle d back into process.

4.6. Soil Classification

The soils of the district are derived from Granites, Gneisses and Schistose rocks. The

Sandy loam soil mixed with black and grey soil occurs along the stream beds. These

are originated from gneisses and granites. They are permeable and mildly alkaline in

nature. The thickness of the soil varies from 0.2 to 1.00m. The Red soil are the major

type of soil in the district, found mainly at elevated places especially at fringes of

hills due to decomposition of rocks and surrounding granitic and gneissic hills.

These soils are with high permeability and neutral PH. Black soil with high initial

infiltration rate when dry and cracked. On getting wet cracks will close and

infiltration rate will be very low. These are derived from schistose rocks. The Black

soil is found in the prolonged submerged areas and canal command areas having

low Permeability. It is calcareous and mildly alkaline in nature.

Mineral Resources

This district is endowed with rich mineral resources. The minerals include

Limestone, Dolomite Limestone, Gray Limestone, Siliceous Limestone & Thinly

bedded soil / black cotton soil.

4.7. Climatic and Rainfall data from secondary sources

The climate of Bellary district is quite moderate shows dryness in major part of the

year and a hot summer from March to May months where mean maximum

Mylar Sugars Ltd.,

43 temperatures ranges from 23.2°C to 40.4°C. June to September is the southwest

monsoon period where the temperature 19.7°C to 35.1°C, October and November is

the post monsoon retreating monsoon season with clear bright weather with the

mean daily temperature ranges from 14.4°C to 31.1°C. During December to February

weather remains dry and comparatively cool season. The skies clouded or overcast

during southwest monsoon. During October and November some of the depressions

and cyclonic storms originates in Bay of Bengal moving in a westerly to north

westerly direction which passes through the district causing wide spread heavy

rains and high winds. The mean maximum temperature in the district is 40.4°C. and

the mean minimum temperature is 14.3°C (January month). Relative humidity

ranges from 48 to 74% in the morning and in the evening it ranges from 27% to 61%.

The winds are light to moderate with some strengthening in the south west

monsoon.

During October to April, the winds blow from directions between north east and

southeast and are calm in morning. Winds blow southwest and northwest direction

during May to September with an average velocity of 12 kmph. These high winds

combined with higher temperature result in high degree of evaporation to the tune

of 12.5 mm/day in May against a minimum of 5.4 mm/day in the month of

December.

Bellary district receives rainfall from southwest monsoon from June to September

and northeast monsoon from October to December. Overall on an average, there are

43 normal rainy days (1901‐1970), where minimum in Bellary taluk with 32.4 rainy

days, maximum in Sandur taluk with 56.4 rainy days. Actual rainy days recorded

during the year 2005 ranged from 41 to 67 wherein Kudlugi taluk is the minimum with 41 rainy days and maximum is in Sandur taluk again with 67 rainy days. As per

the 1951 to 1970 rainfall data analysis, the precipitation during southwest monsoon

accounts for 60% of the total amount of rainfall and during northeast monsoon it is

24% the remaining 11.62% is sporadic in summer.

Mylar Sugars Ltd.,

44 September is the wettest month in the year. The analysis of the last ten years rainfall

data (1996‐2005) shows that the highest rainfall occurred in Sandur taluk with

752.1mm and the lowest at Bellary with 452mm and over all annual normal rain fall

in the district is 611mm. Again it is proved that south west monsoon contributes 63% of the total rainfall in the district and north east monsoon with 25.36%. Deficiency in rainfall is observed in the four taluks for the last ten years in the range of 2.40%

(Kudlugi taluk) to 26.02% (Bellary taluk). The excess rainfall in the range of 15.41%

(Siruguppa taluk) to 23% (Sandur taluk) was observed.

4.8. Social Infrastructure available

The district is well connected by high ways and other main roads. Fairly good

network of roads exists connecting taluk head quarters with the district head

quarters and hoblis to various taluk head quarter. Total there are 288.60kms of NH,

631.93kms of SH, 1323.30 kms of major district roads and village road length of

1200.65 kms serves as communication system. Added to this the South Central railway line (Hubli‐Guntakal) passes through Hospet and Bellary. Overall 310 kms length of railway roads falling in all the taluks except in Hadagali and Siruguppa

taluks adds the communication network.
