2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

(i) Identification of Project and Project Proponent:

M/s VRV Hospitality Pvt Ltd is a company promoted by Mr. Varun Gupta & Mrs Anita Gupta.

The promoters of VRV have diversified interests in liquor, edible oils, real estate, etc. The

promoters have the financial and managerial capability to set up and manage large industrial





projects. VRV is going to set up a Grain based at Village Chak Alia, Block Dinanagar, District

Gurdaspur, Punjab with a capacity to produce 60 KLPD ENA (high grade potable alcohol). It

would be an eco-friendly project. We will adopt zero discharge concepts.

(ii) Brief description of nature of the project:

VRH Hospitality Private Limited is proposing 60 KLPD Grain based Distillery along with 2.0

MW Co-generation Power Plant at Village Chak Alia, Tehsil & District Gurdaspur (Punjab).

As per EIA Notification dated 14th Sep., 2006 and as amended from time to time; the project

falls in Category ‘A’, Project or Activity - 5(g)(ii)[All non-molasses based distillery ≥ 60 KLPD].

(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and/ or region:

With hundreds of kinds of alcoholic beverages being made and consumed in India, the

industry can be categorised into four broad groups’ viz. Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL),

Country Liquor (CL), illicit liquor & Beer.

IMFL products contain about 42.85% of alcohol. The consumption of CL is slowly on the

decreasing trend as some cheap IMFL is available. In spite of this, the CL industry is growing

at around 8%. However, government is taking necessary steps to restrict the illicit liquor as it

causes loss of revenue and spoils the health of the people, also bad quality may lead to death

of consumer. The major consumption of alcohol as of now is for alcoholic beverages. Ethyl

alcohol has the potential to become the fuel of the future relegating gasoline to a secondary

place.

The ethanol produced from the grains is superior in quality as compared with that from

molasses. It is estimated that IMFL market will require around 3000 million litres in the year

2014 and expected to grow more than 50% in next 3 years. As Government declares 5%

mandatory mixing of fuel ethanol in the gasoline thus there is great potential for new

distillery establishment.

(iv) Demand- Supply Gap:

Not required in this Project. This depends on excise Department.

(v) Import vs. Indigenous Production:

Indian market could not meet present alcohol demand. So, they import alcohol 5-7% of total

demand. As far as alcohol production is concerned, Indian market plays a vital role at both

domestic & international level. So, they require producing more alcohol to meet the demand.

(vi) Export Possibility:

Export of Alcohol is currently governed by Govt. policy.

(vii) Domestic / export Markets

Market depends on Excise Department.





(viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project:

For smooth functioning of the plant, the company needs a team of 60 persons. These

persons are responsible towards their respective department such as Process Plant, Boiler

Operating Plant and administrative block.

Unskilled / semi-skilled manpower will be sourced from the local area and skilled manpower

will be sourced from outside / local.

(v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/ flow chart

showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given)

Process Description

Distillery Unit - Production from Grain:

� Grain storage

� Grain cleaning, milling and flour handling

� Slurry preparation & liquefaction





� Multi pressure distillation

� Alcohol (ENA & IA) daily receivers & bulk storage

� MEE & Dryer

A) Grain Storage Silos, Cleaning, Handling and Milling Section:

Grain is received from various sources and is pre-cleaned off stones, husk, etc. and

then stored in specially designed storage silos. Grains are continuously lifted from the

bottom of the silos and screened followed by removal of stones in de-stoner and iron

matters in magnetic separators. Cleaned Grains are then milled using dry milling

process in Hammer Mills. The flour is fed through the bucket elevator and conveyed

to the Batch Tipping Machine through a Screw Conveyor.

B) Liquefaction Section

Grain flour mixed with recycle streams and water in Pre-masher and slurry has been

fed to Liquefaction tank. Required temperature has been maintained by applying

steam through steam sparger in liquefaction tank. The cooking process,

accomplished in the above manner, converts the slurry into a hydrated, sterilized

suspension (as starch molecule is solubilized) and is therefore susceptible to enzyme

attack for liquefaction. The liquefied mash is cooled in slurry cooler and transferred to

Fermentation section.

C) Fermentation Section

The purpose of fermentation is to convert the fermentable substrate into alcohol. To

prepare the mash for fermentation, it is diluted with water. Yeast is added in

sufficient quantity to complete fermentation to produce alcohol.

At the start of the cycle, the Fermenter is charged with mash and contents of the

Yeast Activation Vessel (Pre-fermenter). Significant heat release takes place during

fermentation. This is removed by passing the mash through heat exchangers to

maintain an optimum temperature. The recirculation pumps also serve to empty the

Fermenters into Beer Well. CO2 evolved during fermentation carries along with it

some entrained alcohol. This CO2 is taken to a CO2 scrubber where it is washed with

water to remove the entrained alcohol. The scrubbed CO2 can then be taken to CO2

plant or vented out. After emptying of Fermenter, it is cleaned with CIP using

cleaning nozzles. After CIP Fermenter is ready for next batch to be filled.

D) MPR Distillation Wash to ENA:

Multi-Pressure Distillation system has eight Distillation columns operating at various

pressure conditions. Heat energy from columns operating under high pressure is





utilized for columns operating under low pressure to optimize the operation for

energy consumption. Following Columns will be under operation

� Analyser Column

� Degasifying Column

� Pre-Rectifier Column cum

� Exhaust Column

� Extractive Distillation Column

� Rectifier cum Exhaust Column

� Recovery Column

� Simmering Column

Pre-heated fermented wash is fed at the top of the Degasifying column. Analyser

Column is provided with Re boiler. Top vapors of Analyser column containing all the

alcohol in the wash are sent to Pre-Rectifier column. Rest of the fermented wash

flows down the Analyser column and is taken out as thick slops from Analyser column

bottom. Low boiling impurities are concentrated in the Pre-Rectifier column. A draw

of impure alcohol is taken out from the top of the Pre-Rectifier column. RS draw is

taken from the top of Pre rectifier column, which further is sent to Extractive

Distillation column. Dilution water is fed to this column. The Extractive Column

operates on the principle of inversion of relative volatility. Low boiling impurities are

separated in the Extractive Distillation Column & bottom is sent to Rectifier cum

Exhaust column. The Rectifier/Exhaust column concentrates the alcohol to 96% v/v.

The spirit is drawn from the upper trays of the Rectification Column. Fusel oil build up

is avoided in the Rectifier cum exhaust column by withdrawing side streams (fusel

oils). ED condensates, fusel oil draw from R/E column are sent to Recovery column

where these fusel oils are concentrated and then sent to decanter where these

streams are diluted with water and fusel oil rich layer is separated. Washings are sent

back to the column to recover alcohol. The spirit Draw from the Rectifier column is

sent to the Simmering column where methanol is separated in the form of a cut from

the top and ENA is taken out from the bottom. ENA drawn from the Simmering

Column is taken to the receiver after cooling in ENA cooler.

E) Decantation Section Excluding Decanter Centrifuges

Decantation section comprises of a Centrifuge Decanters (Client scope) for

separation of suspended solids from Thick slop coming out of Grain Distillation Plant.

Wet cake is removed from bottom of Decanter. Thin slops coming out of Decanter





are collected in a tank and partly recycled into the process & Evaporation for further

concentration. The concentrated thin slops called as Syrup is mixed with Wet cake

and sold in wet form as cattle feed (DWGS) or the entire mixture can be dried in a

DWGS Dryer and then sold in dry form as Cattle feed (DDGS).

F) Integrated Evaporation

The suggested treatment scheme is a Multi Effect Evaporation Plant for Thin Slop

Evaporation. Shell & Tube type Evaporators with highly efficient liquid distributor

working on the principle of Falling Film and Forced circulation Evaporation has been

used.

The product at the desired concentration of 40%w/w Total Solid is obtained at the

outlet of the final effect. Each effect is provided with recirculation cum transfer

pumps. The condensate from surface condensers is collected in a common

condensate pot. The condensate is transferred for further treatment / drain by using

centrifugal pump. The system operates under vacuum. Water-ring vacuum pumps are

used to maintain a desired vacuum. Cooling water from cooling tower is used in the

surface condensers for condensing the vapours.

G) DWGS Dryer Section

Wet distiller’s grains shall be fed into the dryer housing at controlled rate through a

suitable feeding system. The Rotary Bundle is enclosed in an insulated dryer housing

and on its outer flights are fixed. Dry, saturated steam is to be supplied to the bundle

through rotary joint at one end & the condensate is discharged through rotary joint

mounted of another end. During the course of rotation, these flights pick up the

material and shower them on to the tube bundles. The heat transfer is primarily by

conduction. The water vapors are exhausted through an Exhaust Blower & passed

through a cyclone separator for separating fines. Dry product partially recycled back

to feed conditioner for feed conditioning through Product Screw & Recycle Conveyor.

Entire operation of the Dryer is controlled through Local Indication cum Control

panel.

H) Process Condensate Treatment Section

The process condensate from the evaporation section is treated in this unit and this

treated condensate is then recycled back to process thus reducing the fresh water

consumption.

Power Co-Generation (2.0 MW)

OPERATIONS

Proposed 2.0 MW co-generation plant consists of a high pressure water tube steam boiler

extraction cum condensing steam turbine. Fuel in the steam boiler will be burnt with the help

of air in the boiler furnace. Water will be circulated in the boiler drum and tubes thus getting

heated by the flame burning in the boiler furnace. Water comes out of the boiler drum

located at the top of the boiler as steam. Flue gases rise in the boiler furnace and come in

contact with the steam coming out of boiler drum. Steam after coming in contact with flue

gases gets heated up further thus getting superheated. Super heated steam leaves the boiler

in a pipe. Flue gases after super heating the steam pass through economizer where they pre-

heat the boiler feed water before it enters the boiler drum. After economizer, flue gases pass

through air pre-heaters where they heat the air which is fed to the boiler furnace for burning

the fuel. After air pre heaters flue gases pass through an ESP/Bag Filter where the dust

particles are collected on charged electrodes. The dust is collected from the bottom of the

ESP/Bag Filter.

High pressure superheated steam from boiler is passed through a steam turbine, which is

used for distillery process operations. While passing through the turbine, the high pressure

and temperature steam rotates the turbine rotor and an electric alternator mounted on the

same shaft. Electric power is generated by the alternator. This electric power generated is

consumed in house i.e. for running the distillery and utilities like boilers auxiliaries etc.
