INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.3 NEED OF THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND/OR REGION.
Fuel Ethanol is basically used for blending petrol supplied by Oil marketing companies (OMCs).
The proposed project will contribute to narrow the gap of demand/ supply of Indian made
Fuel ethanol. Govt. of India has mandated 10% blending of Ethanol in Petrol by 2022 so as to
reduce dependence on imported Crude Oil and to provide a cleaner fuel. The project will help
fulfilling the demand for Ethanol. In addition it, this will also provide employment.
This will also increase income of farmers as other feedstock such as cereals like rice, wheat,
barley, corn etc., to be used for production of Fuel Ethanol which will benefit a large population
of farmers. GOI is encouraging projects to produce ethanol from grains.
2.4 DEMAND – SUPPLY GAP
Currently the petrol sold in the country has above 5% of ethanol, Biofuel extracted from
various locally available sources. India is on the path of achieving a 10% blending target by
2022 which is at present approx. 5% only. In addition, Government of India has also fixed a
target of 15% blending of fuel ethanol with Petrol by 2026 and 20% blending by 2030.
Government of India is also planning to prepone the achievement of 20% blending target by
year 2025. India is one of the largest importers of crude oil. The indigenous production of
ethanol and its increasing blending in petrol will keep reducing this requirement of imported
crude oil. As per the survey, blending of 20% ethanol with petrol can help to create economic
activity of over Rs. 1 lakh Crore every year in the country and save precious foreign exchange.
of workers, a number of semiskilled and unskilled workers will also be required for peripheral
activities like transport, logistics, engineering, Services, commercial services etc. Total
manpower required for the project is 440 person including 330 Persons as permanent and 110
Person as temporary.
Besides the production staff, some more manpower shall be needed for administrative
purposes. The local untrained manpower also will be trained to slowly take up to the
Semiskilled and Skilled tasks. Initially the unskilled labor will be deployed from local area only.
Subsequently they will be trained to take up higher responsibilities.

16th June, 2021 by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, New Delhi and
requires Environment Clearance from MoEF&CC.
The proposed project is not interlinked with any other project.
3.2 LOCATION (MAP SHOWING GENERAL LOCATION, SPECIFIC LOCATION, AND
PROJECT BOUNDARY & PROJECT SITE LAYOUT) WITH COORDINATES.
3.2.1 Plant Layout
The project site layout, the study area map and the area around 500 Meter radius from plant
site are attached below (Figure 3.1 to 3.3).
The layout of the plant has been developed taking into following considerations:

plantation,
RWH & space for pollution control facilities will be provided. Process will be
consolidated into comprehensive production units. The major utilities and service
(facilities available for the project.) will be provided.
3.3 DETAILS OF ALTERNATE SITES CONSIDERED AND THE BASIS OF SELECTING THE
PROPOSED SITE, PARTICULARLY THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS GONE INTO
SHOULD BE HIGHLIGHTED
No alternative site has been considered as the project site has been allotted by BIADA for
establishment of Ethanol Plant. The proposed site has been acquired by the company keeping in
mind following mentioned factors:
Availability of adequate flat land for the proposed plant and its rational future
expansion.
Raw material availability & markets for both products & by-products within the state.
Proximity to finished goods market.
Existence of road/Rail connection in the vicinity for transportation of incoming &
outgoing materials.
Availability of industrial infrastructure facilities, e.g., power, water & skilled
personnel.
No forest present within study area.
No NP/WLS, Tiger reserve and elephant corridor present within study area.
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) Distillation
Multi-Pressure Pre-heated fermented wash is fed into a series of distillation columns to
increase the alcohol concentration and remove various impurities
Distillation – (Wash to Ethanol Mode)
Following Columns will be under operation
Analyser Column
Degasifying Column
Rectifier cum Exhaust Column
Alcohol Scrubber
Molecular sieve dehydration plant (MSDH):
The Fermented wash is preheated in a fermented wash pre heater and fed to the analyzer
column. The vapors of the analyzer are fed to pre-rectifier column. Bottom liquid from pre-
rectifier column is fed to stripper column. Impure spirit and fuel oil liquid streams from
various columns are introduced in recovery column for processing. Steam is supplied at the
bottom of R/E column re-boiler, simmering column re-boiler and direct steam sparging is done
in the recovery column.
For the ethanol production top product of pre-rectifier is fed to purifier column whereas
bottom liquid is fed to impure spirit purification column. Alcohol from the top of purifier
column as well as fused oil draws from pre-rectifier are fed to recovery. Final alcohol cut is
taken from the top of impure spirit purification column whereas ethanol is drawn from the
bottom of the simmering column.
Rectified Spirit containing at least 95% v/v alcohol is pumped from RS feed tank to
dehydration section for further purification to produce ethanol suitable for blending.
Superheated hydrous alcohol vapors are sent to twin adsorbent beds. The twin adsorbent beds
operate in cyclic manner. Twin beds are provided to allow for bed regeneration to ensure
continuous operation. While one bed is in dehydration mode, the other is in regeneration
mode. The Adsorbent Bed will absorb moisture present in feed vapors and dehydrated alcohol
vapors are released from bottom of the bed.
The vapors are passed through condenser where vapors are condensed. Condensed product
alcohol (@ 99% v/v strength as required for fuel blending) is collected in product receiver.
Ethanol is now suitable for petrol blending, is stored and dispatched to oil companies unit for
blending with petrol.
E) Decantation:
Spent wash after distillation is fed to Centrifuge Decanter for separation of suspended solids.
Wet cake is removed from bottom of Decanter.
Thin slops from decanter are partly recycled into the process and rest is evaporated for further
concentration. The concentrated thin slops called as Syrup is mixed with Wet cake and sold in
wet form as cattle feed (DWGS).
Alternatively 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 are being used. The product at the desired
concentration of 30% 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 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.
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 ESP where the dust particles are
collected. The dust is collected from here.
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 boiler auxiliaries etc. Surplus power will
be exported to Grid.

PLANNING BRIEF
5.1 PLANNING CONCEPT (TYPE OF INDUSTRIES, FACILITIES, AND TRANSPORTATION
ETC.) TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING/DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY CLASSIFICATION.
Proposed industry is a grain based distillery. Facilities required for the project will be provided
as per requirement. Transportation of raw material and final product will be done via existing
road network and cement concrete road will be developed within the plant premises.
Proposed project activities will be started after getting statutory clearance form related
authorities. The project will be completed in 2021-2022. Further proposed project activities
will be carried out in compliance with all the rules and regulation of statutory authority and
provide the control measure and devices to achieve the standard norms.
5.2 EMPLOYMENT & POPULATION PROJECTION
The industry will provide permanent employment to about 330 people and about 110 people
will get temporary employment through the project. So, total employment potential of the
project will be about 440 persons. Since the plant is located in the Buxar district in which
trained manpower are already available therefore the employment will be mostly given to
local people therefore there is not going to be any substantial increase in the population of
local villages. However, due to increase economic growth the local youth will get employed and
additional population influx of around 200-300 people in the 10 km radius of plant can at best
be estimated, which includes the addition of persons dependent on the job seeking persons.
5.3 LAND USE PLANNING (BREAKUP ALONG WITH GREEN BELT ETC.).

More revenue will be generated by the way of GST to the State & Central exchequers.
Over the last few years, there has been a great change in the Indian Economic Scenario due to
Global slowdown which affected the whole world including India.
The owner’s family is well known and resourceful with good financial background.
In view of all this fact it is found that the proposed unit has all the desired characteristics of a
viable unit, the financial analysis as per details given in financial annexure - shows good
profitability, perfect technical feasibility, and commercial studies established very good
demand. The total cost of project as Rs. 129.50 Crores is purpose to be met by Promoters. As
per analysis, the overall financial, liquidity and profitability parameters of the project are
considered reasonable, achievable and satisfactory.
Environmental, Financial & Social Benefits
With the implementation of the proposed project, Approx. 33.0% area will be developed as
green belt which will help in maintaining ecological biodiversity of the project site. Also, the
socio-economic status of the local people will improve substantially due to employment
generation. The land rates in the area will improve in the nearby areas due to the proposed
activity. This will help in up liftment of the social status of the people in the area. Educational
institutions will also come-up and will lead to improvement of educational status of the people
in the area. Primary health center will also be developed by us and the medical facilities will
certainly improve due to the proposed project.
The project will result in growth of the surrounding areas by increasing ancillary development
and supporting infrastructure. Special emphasis on financial and social benefits will be given to
the local people including tribal population, if any, in the area. Development of social amenities
will be in the form of medical facilities, education to underprivileged and creation of self-help
groups. Haryana state will get revenues in terms of taxes. Business opportunities for local
community will be available like transport of raw material/product to market, fly ash transport
to brick manufactures, maintenance & house-keeping contract work etc.
In view of the above the proposed Project of M/s Bharat Plus Ethanol Pvt. Ltd is technically
feasible and financially viable thus, we request EAC to grant ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE.
