RED HERRING PROSPECTUS Dated August 24 ... - Globus Spirits

As the Company is increasing its Industrial Alcohol production capacity (license) from 144
lakh BL per annum to 249 lakh BL per annum at its Behror facility, the above plant will
facilitate in utilizing the licensed capacity to 100% levels.
Salient features of the same as under:
The Distillation plant capacity shall be 35,000 LPD Extra Neutral Alcohol and is based on
Fermented wash from Grain-based Fermentation and an alcohol concentration of minimum
8% v/v in Wash.
Multi-Pressure Distillation scheme offered with minimum steam consumption of just 3.25
kg/litre Total Spirit. Reboilers have been provided alongside the main columns to avoid
direct steam sparging, in order to reduce the effluent volumes and better quality output.
This also helps in Steam condensate recovery.
Higher level of instrumentation has been offered based on PLC-SCADA system. The Extra
Neutral Alcohol coming out of the plant is of superior quality and is acceptable to all the
major IMFL manufacturers.
Multi Pressure Distillation:
This process utilizes Distillation Columns namely Analyzer, Degasifying, Pre-Rectifier,
Rectifier-Exhaust, Extractive Distillation (ED), Recovery and Simmering Column.
The Analyzer and Degasifying columns are operated under vacuum whereas Simmering
Column, Extractive Distillation Column and, Recovery Column are operated under
atmospheric conditions. The Rectifier-Exhaust Column and Pre-Rectifier Column shall be
operated under pressure.
The energy requirement for Analyzer Column is met by Rectifier Column top vapours. The
Rectifier Column top vapours are condensed in a thermo-siphon re-boiler connected to a
flash tank and then flash vapours are injected into Analyzer Column.
The Fermented Wash is fed to the Degasifying column after preheating. Rectified Spirit is
drawn from Pre-rectifier column and fed to Extractive Distillation Column with suitable
dilution with De-Mineralised Water. Extractive Distillation bottom is fed to the Rectifier
Column. ENA is drawn from the top of the Rectifier column. ENA is then fed to the
Simmering Column, where low boiling impurities including Methanol are cut by operating
the column under high reflux. Final ENA product is taken from the bottom of the Simmering
Column.
Apart from the above, in order to increase the efficiency and production of alcohol at low
cost, the Company is adding a 15 KLPD Total Spirit-based Starch Liquefaction section plant
to process Grain Flour from all available grain like Rice, Wheat, Maize, Jowar, etc at the
same premises in Behror.
Slurry Preparation / Liquefaction:
Processing Flour from all available grain like Rice, Wheat, Maize, Jowar and Bajra: Grain
flour and process water (preferred hot streams) are fed at controlled rate to Slurry Tank.
Mixed slurry is taken to the Initial Liquefaction Tank where additional quantity of slops could
be added as per requirement. Viscosity controlling Enzymes and stabilizing chemicals as per
requirement and a portion of liquefying enzymes are also added at this stage. This slurry is
then “cooked” in the Jet cooker.
The Slurry is continuously pumped through a Steam Jet cooker where high-pressure steam
at 7 kg/cm2 (g) rapidly raises the slurry temperature. The mixture of slurry and steam is
then passed through the Retention Loop. This retention loop has several “U” bends in series
with sufficient capacity to provide the desired retention time at the given flow rate. The
cooked mash is discharged into a Flash Tank.
