and bucket elevator. The silo is well equipped with aeration facility so as to keep proper air
circulation inside the silo. Some part of the dust that is carried along with the incoming grains is
removed in this section. Capacities of Silos and Number of Silos are decided on the basis of Grain
Availability and types of grains, which are used.
Pre-cleaned Grains are fed in controlled rate to the hammer mill. In this unit operation, Grain is
broken down into small particles (flour) of required size distribution. Oversized particles are
segregated with the help of vibratory screen. They are then recycled back to the hammer mill
through the coarse bin. Flour from Vibratory screen is collected in the Hopper and then fed to the
Slurry Mixing tank at a controlled rate.
Number of Hammer Mills and their capacities are decided based on the operating philosophy.
Liquefaction
The starch from the slurry is liquefied for sugar
production. This is done in three steps viz.
Preliquefaction, continuous jet cooking and
postliquefaction. Heat stable enzymes are used
for the process. The cooking process is done at
high temperature to sterilize the slurry and to
get high yields of sugar.
This process is designed to maximize product
yields using minimum process water and is
based on classical concept of Simultaneous
Saccharification and Fermentation.
Hot Process water and recycled thin slop is added to Pre-masher to make slurry. The mixed
slurry is taken to the Initial Liquefaction Tank where additional quantity of water is added as
per requirement. Viscosity reduction Enzyme and stabilizing chemicals and a portion of
liquefying enzyme are also added at this stage. This slurry is then “cooked” in the jet cooker. The
slurry is continuously pumped to a steam jet cooker where high-pressure steam at 3.5 bar (g) /
147 deg. C rapidly raises the slurry temperature. The mixture of slurry and steam is then passed
through the Retention vessel for desired retention time at a given flow rate. The cooked mash
is discharged to a Flash 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 gelatinized mash from the Flash Tank is liquefied in the Final Liquefaction Tank where
liquefying enzyme is added. The liquefied mash is cooled in Mash Coolers and transferred to
Fermentation section for further action.
Fermentation
The purpose of fermentation is to convert sugars into alcohol. Simultaneously Carbon dioxide is
produced in Stoichiometric proportions and is scrubbed before being discharged.

Pvt. Ltd.

There are closed top Fermentation tanks with adequate external cooling system to maintain optimum
fermentation temperatures. Agitators are also provided to ensure mixing and suspension of substrate
in the tank. Anaerobic conditions are maintained to ensure high reaction rates and CO2.
Typically, 4 Nos. of fermenters are provided with Beer well of same capacity. After transfer process
is complete, empty fermenters is put to CIP cycle.
Yeast seed material is prepared in water-cooled vessels by inoculating sterilized mash with active
dry yeast. Optimum temperature is maintained by circulation of cooling water. The contents of the
yeast vessel are then transferred to Pre-Fermenter.
The pre-fermenters are filled with mash and loaded with contents of the yeast vessel. The purpose
of the aerated pre-fermentation is to allow time for the yeast cells to multiply and reduce the
chances of contamination in fermenters. When the Pre-Fermenter contents are transferred to the
main fermenters, the concentration of Yeast cells are high enough to substantially reduce the lag
time associated with yeast growth in fermentation.
Saccharifying enzymes are added in the fermenters. These convert the starch into sugars. This is
basically conversion of Dextrin into Dextrose. The purpose of fermentation is to convert the
fermentable substrate into alcohol. To prepare the mash for fermentation, it has to be diluted with
water.
The pH of the mash is adjusted primarily by recycled slops (which also provides for nutrients) or by
the addition of acid. Yeast is available in sufficient quantity to initiate fermentation rapidly and
complete it within 45 hours.
At the start of the cycle, the Fermenter is charged with mash and contents of the pre-Fermenter.
Significant heat release takes place during fermentation. This is removed by forced circulation

cooling in external heat exchangers. The recirculating pumps also serve to empty the fermenters into
beer well. After the fermenters are emptied, they are cleaned with water and caustic solutions and
sterilized for the next batch. Six fermenters are provided for Grain operation.
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 recover the entrained alcohol. The scrubbed CO2 can
then be taken to CO2 recovery plant.

Multi-Pressure Distillation for Wash to RS

Multi - pressure distillation scheme has three distillation columns. These columns operate under
different pressure conditions. Energy from column operating under high pressure is re- utilized by
column operating under low pressure to conserve energy.
The columns in order of flow are:
• Mash/Stripping Column
• Rectification Column
• Aldehyde cum Recover Column

Fermented wash is preheated in the Fermented Wash


Pre heater and fed at the top of the Mash/Stripping
column. This column is provided with Reboilers. Top
vapors of Mash/Stripping column containing all the
alcohol in the wash are sent to Rectification column.
Rest of the fermented wash flows down the
Mash/Stripping column and is taken out as spent wash
from column bottom.
In Rectification column, higher volatile ethanol
component is separated from ethanol+water binary
mixture. Rectified Spirit draw is taken from the top of
Rectification column, which is sent to Molecular Sieve
Dehydration Fuel Ethanol Plant.
In the Aldehyde cum Recovery column, fusel oils are

are concentrated and then sent to decanter where these streams are diluted with water and fusel oil rich
layer is seperated. Technical alcohol cut is taken out and recycled into the system.
Molecular Sieve Dehydration (Fuel Ethanol Plant)

Molecular sieve dehydration system is based on pressure swing adsorption technique. Vapour of
Rectified Spirit at around 95% v/v are passes through a bed containing alumino-silicate adsorbent
bed material. This removes extra amount of moisture from spirit and output is Fuel Ethanol or
Absolute Anhydrous alcohol of more than 99.8% v/v which is suitable for blending in petrol and
also pharmaceutical applications.
Decantation Section
Spent wash/Thick Slops from Mash Column is pumped to Thick Slops Tank. Thick Slops is then fed
to Decanter Centrifuge through Decanter Feed Pump. In Decanter suspended solids from Thick
Slop are separated and removed as Wet Cake while Thin Slops is collected in Thin Slops Tank. Thin
slops from this tank are then fed to Evaporator for further concentration.

Thin Slop Evaporation

Thin slop evaporation plant is designed to concentrate thin slop coming out of decantation unit
from 5% to 30% w/w solid concentration. This evaporation plant is multi-effect forced circulation
type. Evaporation is integrated to distillation and DDGS dryer for energy conservation.

1.4 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MANAGEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE
The total area of land is 6.07 ha. During construction this land will be used for installation of
plant and machineries, storage sheds for raw materials, construction of internal roads, parking
area and temporary storage of construction materials including oil and chemicals, domestic
waste etc.
The impacts due to construction activities will be limited to above area only.
Construction activities will have cumulative impact on environment due to impact on land, soil,
air, water and noise environment as follows:
1.4.1 Land Environment
The site for project is flat and already levelled, hence no levelling is required. Earth excavated
during civil foundations will be reused for raising the plinth and backfilling the columns. Dust
generated due to earthwork including excavation and transportation activities, especially during
dry weather conditions, will be controlled by water sprinkling.
1.4.2 Air Environment
Dust will be generated during clearing of ground vegetation, leveling of site, dumping of earth and
fill material generated from site during drilling for ground water extraction, construction of
foundations waste pit construction and other grading activities. During ground excavation site
preparation in readiness for construction work may require vegetation clearance stripping off of
overburden material, ground leveling and compaction. These activities will open-up the ground
to wind action and will result in dust generation.

Impact on Air Quality -The air quality in the project area may slightly deteriorate for the time
being during construction due to poorly paved service lane, excavation, delivery of building
materials, mixing of construction materials, construction of temporary structures etc.

Movement of trucks bringing plant and machinery shall also generate dust and noise. During
construction phase, dust generation will be the main pollutant, which would generate from the
site development activities and vehicular movement on the road. However, concentration of NOx
and CO may slightly increase due to increased vehicular traffic movement.

1.4.3 Water Environment


Temporary drainage work will be maintained, removed and reinstated as required, and all other
precautions will be taken for avoidance of damage by flooding and silt. Sedimentation pit of
sufficient capacity will be constructed to trap silt-laden water during monsoon. The wastewater
will be reused for dust suppression.
1.4.4 Noise Environment

Lesous API and Formulations Pvt. Ltd. EMP 22


Environmental Management Plan for Grain Based Fuel Ethanol Distillery Plant (120 KLPD)
along with Power Generation of 3.30 MW at Purnia, Bihar by M/s Lesous API and Formulations
Pvt. Ltd.
The noise generated during the constructed phase will be due to the movement of vehicles and
construction equipment. Construction equipment and transport vehicles will be properly
maintained so that noise generation is minimized. Regular maintenance schedule will be adopted
for all construction equipment and vehicles
1.4.5 Solid Waste Management
Careful design, planning and good site management would minimize waste of materials such as
concrete, mortars and cement grouts. Construction waste will be segregated as much as possible
at site itself to increase the feasibility of recycling concrete and masonry as filling material and
steel pieces as saleable scrap.

Muck shall be generated from drains and sedimentation pits. The muck shall be collected daily
and stored at earmarked place. It shall be finally disposed within the plant premises for plinth
raising purpose. Litter disposal and collection points shall be established around the all
construction work sites. Construction waste shall be segregated as much as possible at site itself
to increase the feasibility of recycling concrete and masonry as filling material and steel pieces as
saleable scrap.
1.4.6 Sanitation & Safety Measures of Construction Workers
Construction workers will be taken from surrounding villages. They will be made aware of
possible hazards and safety measures that need to be taken during construction activities
through organized training. Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) such as dust masks, goggles,
earplugs/ earmuffs, safety gloves, safety belts, safety shoe with toe protection, gumboots will be
made available at construction site. Construction workers and vehicle drivers will be provided
with drinking water, canteen and toilet/washroom facility. Rest room facility for truck drivers will
be provided.
1.4.7 Maintenance of Vehicles
One should be very careful in selecting the site for vehicle maintenance, so as to prevent the
ground water contamination due to the spillage of oil. Both diesel and petrol engine vehicles will
be maintained properly. Unauthorized dumping of waste oil will be prohibited. Wastes will be
disposed off to the SPCB approved vendors.

1.9 CONCLUSION
As discussed, it is safe to say that the proposed project is not likely to cause any significant
impact on the ecology of the area, as adequate preventive measures will be adopted to
maintain the various pollutants within permissible limits. Greenbelt development around the
area would also be taken up as an effective pollution mitigation technique, as well as to
control the pollutants released from the premises of the company.
