Annexure 1: Production and Manufacturing Details
(A) Distillery –
Baramati Agro Ltd. has existing 60 KLPD distillery. Now they propose to expand by 100 KLPD
capacity, thus total capacity of the distillery after expansion will be 60 + 100 = 160 KLPD. The
peculiarities of manufacturing process are as follows: This is a simple three step process namely
molasses preparation, fermentation and distillation. The standard flow sheet as will be adopted
can be given as:
Fig. 1: Distillery Process
For the sake of eco-friendly considerations continuous fermentation and multi- pressure
distillation will be practiced. The CO2 will be scrubbed in water and the water that entraps
escaping alcohol fumes will be recycled for molasses preparation.
(B) Sugar Unit –
Baramati Agro Ltd. has existing 4500 TCD cane crushing capacity. Now they propose to expand
by 7500 TCD capacity, thus total cane crushing capacity of the sugar factory after expansion will
be 4500 + 7500 = 12000 TCD.
The major unit operations are shown in figure these are
1. Extraction of juice
2. Clarification
3. Evaporation
4. Crystallization
5. Centrifugation
1. Extraction of Juice
The sugarcane is passed through devices like knives for cutting the stalks in to chips before being
subjected to crushing in a milling tandem comprising 4 to 6 three roller mills. Fine preparation
with its impact on final extraction, is receiving special attention & shredders & particularly the
fibrizsers are gaining popularity. The mills are of modern design, being equipped with turbine
drive, special feeding devices, efficient compound imbibitions system etc. In the best milling
practice, more than 95% of the sugar in the cane goes into the juice, this percentage being called
the sucrose extraction or more simply the extraction.
A fibrous residue called bagasse; with a low sucrose content is produced about 25 to 30 % of
cane, which contains 45 to 55% moisture.
Fig. 2: Sugar Manufacturing Process
2. Clarification
The dark-green juice from the mills is acidic (pH 4.5) & turbid, called raw juice or mixed juice.
The mixed juice after being heated to 65 to 75 0 C is treated with phosphoric acid, sulphur
dioxide & milk of lime for removal of impurities in suspension in a continuously working
apparatus. The treated juice on boiling fed to continuous clarifier from which the clear juice is
decanted while the settled impurities known as mud is sent to the field as fertilizer. The clear
juice goes to the evaporators without further treatment.
3. Evaporation
The clarified juice contains about 85 % water. About 75% of this water is evaporated in vaccum
multiple effects consisting of a succeeding (generally four) of vaccum boiling cells arranged in
series so that each succeeding body has higher vaccum. The vapours from the final body go to
condenser. The syrup leaves the last body continuously with about 60% solids & 40% water
4. Crystallization
The syrup is again treated with sulphur dioxide before being sent to the pan station for
crystallization of sugar. Crystallization takes place in single-effect vaccum pans, where the
sysrup is evaporated until saturated with sugar. AT this point ‘seed grain’ is added to serve as a
nucleus for the sugar crystals & more syrup is added as water evaporates. The growth of the
crystals continues until the pan is full. Given a skilled sugar boiler(or adequate instrumentation)
the original crystals can be grown without the formation of additional crystals, so that when the
pan is just full, the crystals are all of desired size & the crystal & syrup form a dense mass
koown as ‘massecuite’. The ‘strike’ is then discharged through a foot valve into a crystallizer.
5. Centrifugation
The massecuite from crystallizer is drawn in to revolving machines called centrifuges. The
perforated lining retains the sugar crystals, which may be washed with water if desired. The
mother liquor ‘molasses’ passes through the lining because of the centrifugal force exerted &
after the sugar is ‘Purged’ it is cut down leaving the centrifuge ready for another charge of
massecuite . Continuous centrifuges may purge low grades. The mother liquor separated from
commercial sugar is again sent to pan for boiling and recrystallization. Three stages of
recrystallization are adopted to ensure maximum recovery of sugar in crystal form. The final
molasses is sent out the factory as waste being unsuitable for recovery of sugar under
commercial condition from economical point of view.
(C) Co-Gen Power Plant- –
Baramati Agro Ltd. has existing 20 MW co-gen plant. Now they propose to expand by 50 MW
capacity, thus total capacity of the Cogeneration Power plant after expansion will be 20 + 50 =
70 MW. (This also includes turbo set of 10 MW dedicated for the distillery).
The peculiarities of manufacturing process are as follows: This is a simple three step process
namely Water preparation, Steam Generation and Power Generation. The standard flow sheet as
will be adopted can be given as

a. For Sugar and Co-gen
From Sugar and Co-gen unit, two types of waste water comes out: i) Effluent generated
from sugar process and ii) Condensate water.
For Effluent generated from sugar process, ETP is provided. The flow chart of sugar
ETP is provided below.
Fig. 4: Sugar ETP Flow Sheet
The effluent is first treated in anaerobic digester and then sent to degasser to remove
gases. Further it is sent to Lamella Clarifier and then to first Aeration Tank. Output of
Aeration tank is sent to Clarifier-I and then to second Aeration tank through Lifting
Sump. Then it is sent to Clarifier – II and then finally to DMF. Some part is sent for
non-process application and remaining to Lagoon for disposal.
The condensate water generated from Sugar – Co-gen unit is sent to Condensate
Polishing Unit (CPU) for treatment. The flow sheet is given below:
Fig. 5: Sugar CPU Flow Sheet
The major impurity contents of sugar factory condensate are trace organics and more particularly
the Ammonical Nitrogen which can prove detrimental for reuse applications. The treatment
scheme for condensate polishing unit involves the utilization of biological mode, specially
developed to treat not only trace organics, but basically the Ammonical nitrogen. The treatment
scheme therefore comprises of an Anaerobic – Aerobic approach. In this, rather than the
hardware provided in the form of civil structures and mechanical equipment, the software, i.e.
the process kinetics and reaction controls are important.
Although, the characteristics of condensate are fairly uniform with reference to period, it is
desirable to provide some cushion for minor variations in the form of equalization tank. This also
serves as a part of composite and complex biological system specially developed as the treatment
scheme. The condensate is subjected to anaerobic and aerobic biological modes selectively to
cater for and treat the two main impurities. Care is taken to optimize the treatment structures as
well as the energy inputs, thereby minimizing the capital as well as working expenditures.
b. For Distillery
Spent Wash Treatment
The condensate water generated from distillery unit is sent to Condensate Polishing Unit
(CPU) for treatment. The flow sheet is given below:
Fig. 6: Distillery CPU Flow Sheet
The working of Distillery CPU is similar to that of Sugar CPU. However two clarifiers and one
Aeration tank is added in the process in addition to the components present in Sugar CPU.
Total spent wash generation is 1280 KLD (8 KL/KL). After MEE, 20% Spent wash will be used
as compost (organic fertilizer) and remaining will be burnt together with coal in new
incineration boiler for distillery.
