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

The cooking process, accomplished in the above manner, converts the
slurry into a hydrated, sterilized suspension 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 enzymes (alpha-amylase) is added. The liquefied mash is cooled in the Mash
Cooler and transferred to Saccharification cum Fermentation section.
The flash steam is condensed and recovered for recycling in process.
2. Installation of a Multi-Pressure Distillation Plant, including Slurry mixing and Liquefaction,
saccharification cum-Fermentation along with auxiliaries etc., to produce quality Extra
Neutral Alcohol (ENA) of 35,000 Litres per day from Grain at Samalkha Unit.
The salient features of the same as under:
The Company has considered the use of Grain Flour from commonly available grain like Rice,
Maize, Jowar, etc. with an average Starch content of 62% w/w. The variation in starch
content from one grain to another could be 58-66% w/w.
Grain Storage facility of 30 days is considered, which could be taken up in Storage Silos or
even in closed godowns. Estimated investments in both options have been provided. Grain
requirement for such production facility could be 90–100 MT/Day depending upon the Starch
content in Grain.
Grain are mechanically cleaned and continuously milled in the Milling Section. This comprises
of cleaning equipments like vibratory screens, De-stoner, magnetic separator etc. Hammer
mills are used for the milling operation.
Selection of Grain Mill is a critical decision in the Milling section and depends on factors like:
a. Shift Operation: 2/3-shift operations (varying from 16 to 24 hours of operation).
b. Overall Power Consumption with 1 Mill or 2 Mill options and power supply.
c. Manpower cost and Labour management.
d. Raw Materials to be milled: Type of grain to be milled and particle size.
Liquefaction section comprises Slurry mixing, continuous Jet Cooking followed by
Liquefaction of starch slurry using state-of-the-art equipment. This section is with adequate
automation and controls section along with Auxiliaries & Electrical (MCC). All Tanks,
Retention Loop, Heat exchangers, Pumps (Wettable parts) etc. have been offered in
Stainless Steel AISI 304. Cleaning-in-place systems have been provided as per best
engineering practices.
Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation is carried out in specially designed closed
fermentors operating on Fed-Batch mode. The improved HIFERM–NM system comprises
Pre-fermentors, Fermentors with Agitators and accessories, Carbon Di-Oxide scrubbing
system, effective Fermented Wash cooling system. The Company has additionally quoted for
Decantation section (excluding Centrifuge Decanter machine(s) and its electrical panels),
mainly comprising of Thin Slops holding Tank, Slops Transfer Pumps, Thin Slops recycle
Piping & Valves, (Part) Thin Slops Cooler PHEs, etc. This Section is offered along with
Auxiliaries & Electrical (MCC). The system comprises:
a. Yeast Activation System.
b. Fermented wash cooling system.
c. Chemical Dosing System.
d. Cooling Water Circulation System.
e. CO 2 scrubbing system.
f. Cleaning In Place System.
Multi-Pressure Distillation scheme with minimum steam consumption and a technical alcohol
(Impure Spirit) cut of just 7% of Total Spirit produced. Reboilers have been provided
alongside the main columns to avoid direct steam sparging and contact. This also helps
reduce the effluent volumes.
