Distillation
In Yeast (Ethyl Alcohol) (Carbon Dioxide)
During fermentation 8 to 9% alcohol is formed in distillation wash, which is taken for distillation
in the distillation column to recover the alcohol.
Fermentated wash is fed to Analyzer column from the top and steam is supplied from the
bottom. Alcohol vapour rises up in the analyzer and is fed in to the Rectifier column. In the
Rectifier Column, fractional distillation takes place and alcohol vapour passes through beer
heater, first condenser and then to vent condenser. Condensate from all the above three
columns is again fed to rectifier top and drawn as Ethyl Alcohol or Rectified of 94.5% v/v
(Volume by Volume).
Rectified Spirit is then stored in receiver room in various tanks and then transferred to storage
tanks/vats called warehouse in state excise parlance.
Rectified Spirit can then be sold to various other distilleries/bottling plants as raw material to
manufacture bottled liquor.
Rectified Spirit is also used for manufacture of Country Liquor in the Company’s own distillery
after reducing its strength from 94.5% and by adding DM Water, Essence, and Caramel in the
blending room. It is then taken to bottling vats in the bottling hall for manufacture of Country
Liquor.
E.N.A. (Extra Neutral Alcohol)
Rectified Spirit contains impurities like aldehydes, esters, higher alcohols that are not good for
making quality potable alcohol for high grade liquor products like Whisky, Gin, Rum etc.
Rectified Spirit is therefore re-distilled with DM (De-mineralized water) and passed through
purification column, then rectifier column, condensers etc. All these equipments constitute Extra
Neutral Alcohol plant.
Higher alcohols and all other impurities get separated at various temperatures and pure ENA is
collected separately and taken to storage vats.
ENA can be sold to other distilleries and bottling plants for making quality alcoholic products like
Whisky, Gin, Rum etc.
In the Company’s distillery, ENA is used for bottling well known brands of Indian Made Foreign
Liquor (IMFL) through its tie-up arrangement with reputed manufacturers.
Spent Wash
1 st Stage (Primary Methanisation)
It is the dark brown carboned liquid containing nitrogenous compound, potassium, magnesium,
sulphates etc. obtained as waste product after obtaining Rectified Spirit. Its BOD (Biological
Oxygen Demand) is about 40,000 mg/ltr. & COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) about 1,00,000
mg/ltr. It is the raw material for Effluent Treatment Plant where after methanisation process in
huge reactors the Company gets Bio-gas which is used as fuel in its boilers.
