Baburao Dyandeo Borgavkar, Vice – Chairman along with other Directors, as listed in the
Appendix- VI, under the leadership of Shri. Narendra Laxmanrao Kapadnis, Managing
Director & competent factory staff. The promoters have adequate experience in the sugar &
ethanol sectors, as well as socio-economic activities in the command area. PKDNNHKASSKL
has been successfully operated integrated complex, including sugar for the last 3 decades.

The promoters have extensively and carefully analyzed the present and future scenario of sugar,
power and ethanol industries. They have studied carefully the present irrigation facilities,
surplus cane availability in the command area and potential for cane development, to suit the
proposed expansion plan.

PKDNNHKASSKL has already appointed a technical / managerial team of highly qualified


engineers, contract & arbitration experts, agricultural officers and managerial personnel, for
implementation and operation of the captioned integrated project.

To make the venture commercially viable and financially profitable, the capacity of the sugar
plant expansion is decided and fixed at 7500 TCD, Ethanol plant of 100 KLPD along with 4
MW slop fired boiler/TG and a cogeneration plant of 44 MW.

The suitability of the soil, increased irrigation facilities and previous experience of the farmers
in cane growing will be helpful in developing the required area for cane plantation.

3.0 Project in Brief

3.1 Sugar Plant Expansion Mill (estimated capital investment of Rs. 128.30 crores)

The design basis includes average crushing rate of 7500 TCD (340.91 TCH, 22 hrs and 160
crushing days) with 30 % bagasse generation on cane, 0.80% bagacillo & handling losses
resulting in 29.20% bagasse on cane available as fuel for the proposed cogen power plant.

The sugar process steam consumption will be 96.6 TPH (40% on cane crushing). Power
consumption for sugar plant will be 8.52 MWh (at 25 kWh/TCH).

Incineration Boiler / TG / Auxiliaries For ZLD & Proposed Cogen Power Plant (44 MW) Project (Doc No.
PWR/PNQ/DPR/2017-18/RJ/055, Dated November 16, 2017)

The sugar plant expansion will manufacture white sugar of good quality. The sugar market in
India is quite up-beat and is expected to continue for a foreseeable future. Command area has
excellent sugarcane availability with average sugar recovery of about 11.30 %.

3.2 Cogen Power Plant (estimated capital investment of Rs. 205.45 crores)

The proposed cogen power plant of 44 MW capacity will mainly operate on mill bagasse during
160 season days and saved bagasse from expanded sugar plant & existing sugar plant to operate
for 38 off-season days.

During crushing season of 160 days, the gross power generated will be about 37.00 MW and
export shall be 25.15 MW, after satisfying the requirement of the sugar plant & cogen plant
auxiliaries. During the non-crushing season of 38 days, the gross power generated will be 44
MW and export will be 39.72 MW, after satisfying the requirements of the cogen plant
auxiliaries. The energy export from the cogeneration plant will be 96.57 MUs during the
crushing season and 35.78 MUs during the non-crushing season, cumulating to 132.35 MUs
(at design level), considering 198 operating days in a year. Additionally, the incineration boiler
& turbine will generate 4 MW power for 300 working days, independently for proposed 70
KLPD ethanol. The power will be exported for sale to MSETCL, as per prevailing tariff. In
view of the prevailing rate adopted by MERC as per its recent tariff order, dated April 28, 2017,
the sale of power has been considered at Rs. 6.33 / kWh. All steam and power requirements of
the sugar mill, cogen auxiliaries and colony, both during season and off-season periods, will
be met internally from the cogen power plant.

It will employ high pressure and temperature configuration 1 x 240 TPH (87 Kg/cm2 and 515
C) boiler & 1 x 44 MW double-extraction cum condensing (DEC) TG sets, as well as ESP for
emission control and DCS control system for efficient operation.

The policy for sugar, bagasse cogen & ethanol plants, both at the Central Government and at
the State, Government of Maharashtra are quite conducive. The MNRE has provided several
financial incentives in terms of capital grants and interest subsidy till date and the same are
likely to continue.
The proposed project will be eligible for these incentives as well as other incentives like
accelerated depreciation, income tax benefits, reduced import duties for renewable energy
projects.

3.3 Ethanol Plant Expansion, along with incineration boiler / STG & Auxiliaries
(estimated capital investment of Rs. 117.66 crores)

Ethanol plant expansion will have capacity of 70 KLPD, along with sugar plant expansion &
proposed cogen plant. PKDNNHKASSKL will operate the ethanol plant on own molasses, as
well as procured molasses that is generated by the surrounding sugar factories for 300 days.
The Government of India proposes to increase blending from 5% to 10%. Therefore, the
demand of ethanol from 2008-09 is growing substantially. Total ethanol production increased
from 1,435 million litres in 2009-10 to 1,934 million litres in 2010-11 on account of higher
sugarcane and sugar production and the estimated ethanol production in 2011-12 is pegged at
2,130 million litres. Ethanol consumption increased from 1,780 million litres in 2009-10 to
2,010 million litres in 2010-11, owing to improved molasses supply and steady ethanol demand
from competing industries.

As per National Policy on Biofuels, it proposed that the blending level be increased to 20% by
2017. Recently, Government has also removed excise duty levied on ethanol supplied for
blending with petrol. The net realization of fuel ethanol to factory will be about Rs. 39/KL,
considering the excise duty benefit.

Ethanol plant will operate for 300 days, i.e. 120 days on the molasses generated by the sugar
factory & 180 days on procured molasses.

PKDNNHKASSKL proposes to follow the process for ethanol production viz. fermentation,
multi pressure distillation, spent-wash evaporation followed by slop / coal fired / incineration
boiler (40 TPH) & TG set (4 MW) to generate steam & power.

The brief manufacturing processes of ethanol are given below:

The process envisages use of own molasses generated by the sugar factory for manufacture of
ethanol during sugar mill season and during off-season days.

Following is brief description of the process:

Fermentation System

The molasses stored in the storage tanks will be supplied to the fermenter, where it will be
diluted partly by water and partly by the effluent produced by the distillery and then fermented
in a continuous fermentation reaction.

Distillation

Page 15 of 27
Integrated Sugar Plant Expansion (5000 TO 7500 TCD), Ethanol Plant Expansion (30 TO 100 KLPD) With
Incineration Boiler / TG / Auxiliaries For ZLD & Proposed Cogen Power Plant (44 MW) Project (Doc No.
PWR/PNQ/DPR/2017-18/RJ/055, Dated November 16, 2017)

The fermented wash will be then fed to the distillation column. Here the wash will be distilled
to generate the rectified spirit, which will be sent to the molecular sieve section where rectified
spirit will be converted to ethanol.

The distillery will produce 70000 liters of ethanol per day which will be sold to the oil
companies for blending with petroleum products.

PKDNNHKASSKL proposes to go for spent-wash Concentration and Incineration Technology


simultaneously generating Steam and Power for the process and Distillery. The spent-wash /
coal fired boiler will have capacity of 40 TPH & Turbine 4 MW.

Effluent Treatment

I. Sugar Plant

The sugar plant effluents will be treated in a separate effluent treatment plant & the discharges
will be maintained as per the latest norms of the MPCB & CPCB. The liquid effluents from the
sugar process will be mainly waste water from various process equipment in the milling &
boiling house sections & the treated water will be used for gardening purposes. The air
emissions in the sugar bagging sections will be limited to the acceptable limits due to
deployment of dust catchers.

II. Cogen Power Plant

The cogen power plant effluents will also be treated in a separate effluent treatment plant &
the discharges will be maintained as per the latest norms of the MPCB & CPCB. The liquid
effluents generated from the cogen power plant will be mainly from boiler blow down & water
treatment plant blow downs, wash water & other sewage effluents. The treated water will be
used for gardening purposes. The air emissions will be maintained well within the norms due
to deployment of the latest design electro static precipitator & the ash generated will be sold to
brick manufacturers after mixing it with the press mud.

III. Ethanol Plant

The spent-wash generated in the distillery process is a serious problem by way of threat to the
environment. Its volume from continuous fermentation plant is as large as 1000 m3/day for a
distillery plant of 100 KLPD capacity if multi pressure distillation technology is adopted.

PWR/PNQ/DPR/2017-18/RJ/055, Dated November 16, 2017)

PKDNNHKASSKL is adopting 4 stage zero discharge effluent treatment process to take care
of spent-wash. These stages are briefly described below:

1) Multi pressure distillation along with integrated evaporation– In this section, steam
is utilized in direct way for heating. Hence, spent-wash quantity generated is less as compared
to traditional distillation technology. Integrated evaporation shall be adopted along with multi
pressure distillation. During this stage evaporation is done, which helps to reduce volume of
spent wash.

2) Multi effect evaporation -The spent-wash evaporation technology is a multiple effect


evaporator system in which heat recovered from one effect is used to concentrate spent-wash
in second effect evaporator with continuous recirculation of concentrated spent-wash within
the system until desired concentration is obtained. This entire Concentration process is carried
out under vacuum leading to less consumption of steam and maximum concentration of spent-
wash with in less period of time. This is the 2nd stage of effluent treatment wherein spent-wash
after integrated evaporation is concentrated.

3) Incineration Boiler - Concentrated spent wash along with support fuel like coal is
burned in incineration boiler, which will take care of entire spent wash of the distillery.

4) Condensate Polishing Unit- The condensate polishing unit is also envisaged to take
care of spent less, cooling tower blow down, washing and process condensate from evaporation
plant. After treatment all the stream at CPU, water can be recycled to process and as cooling
tower make up.

PKDNNHKASSKL proposes to go for spent-wash Concentration and Incineration Technology


simultaneously generating Steam and Power for the process and Distillery. The spent-wash /
bagasse fired boiler will have capacity of 40 TPH & Turbine 4 MW.

With effective utilization of such a technology big hurdle of spent-wash disposal will be solved
and distilleries will become zero effluent discharging unit.

Raw Materials

I Sugar Plant

Page 17 of 27
Integrated Sugar Plant Expansion (5000 TO 7500 TCD), Ethanol Plant Expansion (30 TO 100 KLPD) With
Incineration Boiler / TG / Auxiliaries For ZLD & Proposed Cogen Power Plant (44 MW) Project (Doc No.
PWR/PNQ/DPR/2017-18/RJ/055, Dated November 16, 2017)

The proposed sugar plant expansion of 7500 TCD (340.91 TCH) will require about 12 lakh
MT of sugarcane for 160 days crushing season. The present source of water in the command
area is from Krishna River, tube wells and the lift irrigation by using pumps on the River. Rest
of the irrigation is made from the open well and tube wells.

The irrigation & climatic conditions are quite conducive. Considering this situation, the
proposed project will not have any difficulty for making the required sugar cane available for
crushing for the proposed capacity.

II Cogen Power Plant

 As indicated in the steam / power cycle design, the total bagasse available from the
sugar mill expansion, from cane crushing of 12 lakh MT, as fuel, will be 318000 MT
(90.34 TPH for 22 hrs / day and 160 days / season) after considering bagacillo &
handling losses.

 Out of this 269491 MT (70.18 TPH) will be utilized by the cogen plant boiler, leaving
saved bagasse of about 48509 MT for the off season operation. Hence, the total bagasse
availability for the off-season operation will be 48509 MT.

 For off season operation of 33 days, saved bagasse of 48509 MT will be used.

 Therefore, no additional fuel procurement is envisaged in getting fuel for the cogen
plant expansion for total 193 days (160 season days for full plant & 33 days for 1 x 220
TPH boiler & 1 x 44 MW DEC TG set operation).

Ethanol Plant

Ethanol plant expansion will operate for 300 days, i.e. 113 days on the molasses generated by
the sugar factory expansion project. Additional 187 of season days will be operated on procured
molasses of 79660 MT at 100% utilization. With 42% fermentable sugar in molasses one ton
of molasses, will yield 235 lit of total ethanol.

PKDNNHKASSKL proposes to go for spent-wash Concentration and Incineration Technology


simultaneously generating Steam and Power for the process and Distillery. The spent-wash /
bagasse fired boiler will have capacity of 40 TPH & Turbine 4 MW.

Utilities & Consumables

I. Water and power are the main utilities required for operating the integrated project.

 Water will be drawn from Krishna river right canal, the perennial source of water at a
distance of about – 2 km from the site. Therefore no difficulty envisaged in terms of
availability of water required for the proposed sugar complex, except the draught years.

Hence average water required per day for generation of power is considered as about
600 m3, due to usage of Air Cooled Condenser.

The average water requirement per day for sugar & ethanol plants will be 400 m3/day
& 1000 m3/day, respectively.

 Power required for construction and in case of shut down of plant will be drawn from
the State grid.

II. The consumables required for operation of sugar plant include sugar bags, laboratory
and ETP chemicals, oils / lubricants and other chemicals for the machinery and
processing, etc. The consumables indicated above will be available in substantial
quantities from nearby Sangli city, and no difficulty will be envisaged.

Technical Specifications

Sugar Plant Expansion

Plant Layout

Layout Considerations

I. Considerations for design layout

Major layout design issues, which have been considered while developing the proposed plant
layout, are as follows:

 Available land already acquired for the integrated project at site location
 Topography of the land being acquired and contour limitations
 Area requirements for various plant buildings, storage areas, colony, admin building,
miscellaneous areas, etc.
 Direction / velocities of wind.
 Likely ingress of bagasse on to transformers etc. and precautions to be taken to mitigate
 Optimum men and material movement
 Minimum length of high pressure piping
 Minimum lengths of interface systems between the power plant and sugar mill
 Disposal of ash
 Routing of overhead EHV transmission line
 Vastu Shastra

II. Area requirement & Layout

The preliminary plant layout is prepared and presented in Appendix – XVII with the details of
area requirements for different sections of the proposed plant. The final layout will be frozen
based on the detailed discussions with the select vendors / contractors.

III. Ash, Effluent & Sewage Disposal

a) Ash

At 100% capacity utilization of the proposed power plant, around 3.18 lakh MT of bagasse will
be burnt during season and off-season operations. Annual ash generation from this quantity of
bagasse will be about 6360 MT. This ash will be mixed with the press mud, being distributed
free to the farmers or nearby brick manufacturers.

b) Effluent

Page 23 of 27
Integrated Sugar Plant Expansion (5000 TO 7500 TCD), Ethanol Plant Expansion (30 TO 100 KLPD) With
