2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION

(i) Identification of Project and Project Proponent

Veg Agro India Private Limited is a private limited company which was incorporated in Jan., 2015.

It is classified as Indian Non-Government Company and is registered at Registrar of Companies,

Kolkata. It is involved in Agricultural and animal husbandry service activities, except veterinary

activities. This class includes specialized activities, on a fee or contract basis, mostly performed on

the farm.

Directors of Veg Agro India Private Limited are Vinay Kumar Agarwal, Deepak Kumar Agarwal,

Sanjay Kumar Bhagat and Ramabatar Agarwal.

(ii) Brief description of nature of the project

Veg Agro India Private Limited is proposing to set up Extra Neutral Alcohol/ Rectified Sprites /

Ethanol/Industrial Alcohol/Total Alcohol etc. manufacturing facility with an installed capacity of

200 KLD along with CO2 & Distillers Dried Grains & Solubles (DDGS) for Cattle/Poultry/Fish or

Prawn feed as by-products. For the purpose of setting up the unit, the site is located at

Lachhmanpur in Purulia District of West Bengal. The company will manufacture ENA through

grain based process. The proposed site is chosen because of its proximity to the agriculture field

surrounding the area & easy availability of food grains like rice to the distillery for producing

alcohol. Apart from ENA, the company will also produce few by products such as Technical

Alcohol, DDGS for cattle/Poultry/Fish or Prawn feed, Fusel Oil and Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region

With hundreds of kind of alcoholic beverages being made and consumed in India, the industry can

be categorised into four broad groups’ viz. Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), Country Liquor

(CL), illicit liquor & Beer.

IMFL products contain about 42.85% of alcohol. The consumption of CL is slowly on the

decreasing trend as some cheap IMFL is available. In spite of this, the CL industry is growing at

around 8%. However, government is taking necessary steps to restrict the illicit liquor as it causes

loss of revenue and spoils the health of the people, also bad quality may lead to death of

consumer. The major consumption of alcohol as of now is for alcoholic beverages. Ethyl alcohol

has the potential to become the fuel of the future relegating gasoline to a secondary place.

The ethanol produced from the grains is superior in quality as compared with that from molasses.

It is estimated that IMFL market will require around 3000 million litres in the year 2014 and

expected to grow more than 50% in next 3 years. As Government declares 5% mandatory mixing

of fuel ethanol in the gasoline thus there is great potential for new distillery establishment.

In the present scenario, in West Bengal 75 million litres of alcohol will be consumed for the

production of IMFL in a year. Out of total requirement, manufacturers are arranging locally nearly

40 percent from the one sole grain distillery unit named as M/s. IFB Agro Industries Pvt. Ltd. So

clearly there is huge scope to capitalise the shortage of availability of spirit and it can happen if

one can set up a second distillery in West Bengal.

The ethyl alcohol manufactured from molasses is largely being used for blending with petrol. This

leaves a lesser quantity for the potable alcohol industry which in turn causes the potable alcohol





industry to rely completely on ethyl alcohol manufactured from grain. Since the potable alcohol

industry is constantly growing at a good rate and is insulted from economic conditions hence the

future of a grain distillery is ensured.

(iv) Demand- Supply Gap

Center’s Blending programme to boost the demand of Alcohol: - The Center’s Program of blending

10 % ethanol in petrol has given an assured scope for ethanol industry in the country. The

Center’s Kisan-friendly imitative has definitely been a boost to the venture.

The demand supply gap for liquor beverages in the state of West Bengal is as follows:

Table 2

Demand-Supply Gap in Liquor in West Bengal

Year Production (KL) Demand (KL) Gap (KL)

2007-08 135164 162000 26836

2008-09 152388 181440 29052

2014-15 (E) 234458 358130 123672

Similar factors that are mentioned above are driving the demand for the alcoholic beverages in

the country as well. The past and estimated demand for demand for IMFL and country liquor in

the country is as follows:

Marketing Plan

The promoters of the company will take care of the marketing activity of the company. The

promoters of the company have long presence in the diversified industrial activity. As the demand

for ENA is very high in the market the company is unlikely to face any problem in the selling its

product. Further, the company is in the process of marketing its products with other

manufacturers of the IMFL in W.B including UB group, Seagrams, Khaitan, Radico, McDowell etc.

(v) Import vs. Indigenous Production

Indian market could not meet present alcohol demand. So they import alcohol 5-7% of total

demand. As far as ethanol production is concerned, Indian market play a vital role at both

domestic & international level. So they require produce the more alcohol to meet the demand.

(vi) Export Possibility

The project site being nearer to both Orissa and Jharkhand states, the selected plant location is

ideal for growing markets especially West Bengal, Orissa & Jharkhand. Further, proximity to the

Haldia port is ideal for export of product to neighbouring countries.

(vii) Domestic / Export Markets

The entire production is envisaged for the domestic purpose mainly but as per international

markets demand (like Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan etc.) product can be exported via Sea route

through Haldia Port or by Road/Rail.

(viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project

For smooth functioning of the plant, the company needs a team of 100 persons. These persons are

responsible towards their respective department such as Process Plant, Boiler Operating Plant

and administrative block. Here is the detail description of the manpower requirement of the

company.

(vi) Project Description with Process Details

Process Description of Grain Based Operation

A) GRAIN STORAGE SILOS, CLEANING, HANDLING AND MILLING SECTION:

Grain is received from various sources and is pre-cleaned off stones, husk, etc. and then stored in

specially designed storage silos. Grains are continuously lifted from the bottom of the silos and

screened followed by removal of stones in de-stoner and iron matters in magnetic separators.

Cleaned Grains are then milled using dry milling process in Hammer Mills. The flour is fed through

the bucket elevator and conveyed to the Batch Tipping Machine through a Screw Conveyor.

B) SLURRY PREPARATION / LIQUEFACTION

Slurry from pre-masher is taken to Initial liquefaction tank where liquefying enzyme is added..

The mixture of slurry and steam is then passed through the retention vessel (cook tube) having

sufficient capacity to provide the desired retention time at a given flow rate. The cooked mash is

discharged to a flash tank for liquefaction.

The gelatinized mash from the flash tank is further liquefied in a final liquefaction tank where

liquefying enzyme is added. Then the liquefied mash is cooled in slurry cooler and transferred to

Fermentation section.

C) FERMENTATION SECTION

The purpose of fermentation is to convert the fermentable substrate into alcohol. At the start of

the cycle, the fermenter is charged with mash and contents of the Yeast Activation Vessel.

Significant heat release takes place during fermentation. This is removed by passing cooling water

through the Fermenter PHE’s to maintain an optimum temperature. The recirculating pumps also

serve to empty the fermenter into Beer Well.





D) DISTILLATION SECTION

Wash to ENA Multi-pressure: -

Pre-heated fermented wash is fed into a series of Distillation Columns to increase the alohol

concentration and remove various impurities .The columns are termed as below:

� Degasifier

� Analyzer

� Pre Rectifier

� Extractive Distillation

� Exhaust

� Recovery

� Simmering

ENA drawn from the Simmering Column is taken to the receiver after cooling in ENA cooler.

E) EVAPORATION SECTION

The slop discharged from the Analyzer column is taken to the evaporation section for

concentrating the slop up to 40 % w/w solids.

Treatment scheme is a series of evaporation effects working on the principle of falling film

Evaporation & Forced circulation.

F) DRYER SECTION

The concentrated syrup is mixed with the wet cake from the decantation section .This mixture is

termed as DWGS which is then fed in Dryer to reduce the moisture of upto 10 %. This by product

is termed as DDGS which is in a powder form.

G) PROCESS CONDENSATE TREATMENT SECTION

The process condensate from the evaporation section is treated in this unit and this treated

condensate is then recycled back to process thus reducing the fresh water consumption.

(vii) Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area

of final products, mode of transport of raw material and finished product.

(a) Raw Material Requirement

The raw materials required for the distillery can be broadly categorized as follows:

� Grain

� Enzymes & Chemicals

� Steam

� Fuel

� Power, etc.

The basic raw material for the manufacturing of (RS Industrial/ENA Plant/Ethanol/ TA) will be

Grains. In the present scenario, grains with different starch content are used like broken Rice,

Jowar, Corn etc. The process requires the above grains to be milled into specific flour size. Small

quantity of sulphuric acid is sometimes required. The raw material for the boiler fuel will be Rice

husk and Indian coal.

Waste Water Generation:

� The proposed project is based on “ZERO EFFLUENT DISCHARGE”.





� Grain Slops (Spent Wash) will be taken through Centrifuge Decanters for separation of

Suspended Solids separated as Wet Cake.

� Thin Slops from the Decanter Centrifuge will be partly recycled back to process (30-35%)

and partly taken to Thins Slops Evaporation Plant for concentration of remaining solids to

form a Syrup. This Syrup is mixed with the Wet Cake coming out of Decanter Centrifuge and

forms part of Cattle Feed. (Also known as Distillers Wet Grain Solubles - Collectively known

as DWGS).

� DWGS is taken to a dryer operating on steam and is dried to make it DDGS – Distillers Dried

Grain Solubles.

� The process condensate is cooled and collected into a neutralization tank with sufficient

residence time. After Neutralization, this process condensate will be recycled into process

and is used for green belt development within the complex.

� Two streams of low BOD lees (White Effluent) comes out is partly used as fermenter

washing and then sent for cooling, treatment and utilized for RS dilution. The second part

requires only cooling and can be used as Cooling Tower water makes up directly.

� Solid waste from the Grain based operations generally comprises of Fibres and proteins in

the form of DDGS, which will be ideally used as Cattle Feed.

� Ash from the Boiler will be sold to Brick manufacturers.

� Yeast sludge will be sent to the Sludge Drying Beds or may be added to the Wet Cake.

� Used oil & grease generated from plant machinery / Gear boxes & D.G. Set will be partly

used in oiling & greasing as lubrication of external parts of machinery & partly will be sold

to the CPCB authorized recycler.
