Distillery Unit - I

LOCATION: BHAVANI, TAMILNADU

HISTORY OF THE FACTORY :

The first distillery unit of M/s.Bannari Amman Sugars Limited is situated in Sinnapuliyur Village, Bhavani Taluk, Erode District, Tamil Nadu. It manufactures Industrial grade Alcohol from sugarcane molasses. This distillery unit was established in the year 1978 in the name of M/s.Coimbatore Alcohol and Chemicals Private Limited and later it was amalgamated with M/s.Bannari Amman Sugars Limited from 1995.

The production capacity of the unit is 20.25 million Litres of Alcohol per Annum @ 67.50 KL per Day. In this distillery unit, the old atmospheric distillation columns are replaced with new multi pressure distillation columns for achieving thermal efficiency and improved product quality. The new Multi pressure distillation plant is installed and commissioned in the year 2022.

The distillery has set up Bio methanation system (biogas digester) with the help of technical know-how from France for treating the spent wash which meets the strict pollution control measures to protect environment. There are two biogas digester plants are installed in the unit. First one was installed in the year 1989 and the second one was installed in the year 2001. The Biogas evolved during the treatment of spent wash is being used in the boiler as an alternative fuel in place of fossil fuel.

For achieving Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), the distillery has installed R.O. System in the year 2016. The biomethanated spent wash is further treated in Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) system. In this R.O. system, the final spent wash volume is reduced to 40% level and the re-useable water is recovered to 60% level. The re-usable water (RO Permeate) is reused back in the process and the final spent wash (RO Reject) is completely utilized in bio composting. By this, the Unit is achieving Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) as per Pollution Control Board norms.

As a part of utilizing the natural source of energy, the distillery has commissioned 100 KW Solar Power (Green Energy) Plant in the year 2013. Also, the distillery has installed 172 kW Turbo Generator in the year 2012. It generates power by using the excess steam generated through biogas.

This reflects the company's growing concern for the environment and the need to find suitable alternatives.

Distillery Unit - II

LOCATION : NANJANGUD

HISTORY OF THE FACTORY :

The capacity of the Distillery Plant has been expanded to 150-KLPD (ENA/Ethanol) in the year 2021 with the expansion of Spent wash Concentration & Incineration Plant to 46.8 TPH along with Waste Water Recycling Plant & Reverse Osmosis Plant to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge.

In order to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge in the Distillery Plant, the Unit has established Spent wash Concentration and Incineration Plant in the year 2007 to utilize the concentrated spent wash of the Distillery plant as a fuel in the Boiler. Many Distilleries visited the plant and envisaged the use of this Incineration Plant and adopted the same technology in their Distilleries also.

The Co2 plant has been installed in the Distillery premises in the year 2018 (as per ISBT Standards & Norms) with a capacity of 25 MT/Day to trap the vented out Raw Co2 Gas generated from the Fermentation process and the liquefied Co2 is being sold to the outside agencies.
