❑ We have conducted trials on this technology at the pilot facility of TRL.
❑ Trials were conducted on concentration of Raw Spentwash as well as
Bio-methanated Spentwash.
❑ Both the trials were successful as we could easily achieve 500 Brix of Raw
Spentwash and 300 Brix of Bio-metheanated spentwash of BH molasses in
batch mode.
❑ Heating temperature was 65-700C. It seems that further concentration was
also possible though we didn’t try it.
❑ We have not come across scaling and foaming issues during batch
operation.
❑ Separation of condensate was in two parts i. e. first part was volatiles
fraction and second part was clean water.
❑ Both the condensates were almost water white.

 ❑ Innovative Indian Technology with tremendous
potential

❑ Less power requirement and possibility of waste

heat utilization.

❑ Seems to be very simple plant from operation point

of view
