Plant control by by truely planning and managment

With Colony Sugar & Distilleries Ltd.at their Distillery Plant In the Capacity of Shift Engineer , following sections of the plant are efficiently handled
„« Fermentation:
this section involves
o Dilution of the Sugarcane Molasses.
o Development / Growth of Bacteria (yeast) that is aerobic (biochemical) reaction in nature.
o Anaerobic Fermentation of the Diluted sugar Molasses by using The Yeast and activated mass , developed in Prefermentation section. Here Bacteria convert the Molasses Sugar into Ethanol.
o This section involves control pneumeticaly as well as electronic control with Honeywell DCS.



„« Distillation (Refinary)Section :
With 125000 L/Day capacity of the plant , There are Two main sections,
o Vacuum Distillation units are used to seprate (Distille) Ethanol from Fermented mash and further Ethanol is Rectified under vacuum and while diluting with water to remove Impurities it is also distilled at atm pressure.
o Rectification of Raw Ethanol (95%) is further carried out to remove Fusel Oil , an impurity..
o The section, mainly used as such in Oil Refinaries, involves the use of Various types of Exchangers for Heat Transfer.
o These sections are Controlled pneumeticaly and Electronicaly with Honeywell DCS

„« Ethanol Dehydration (Fuel Ethanol) Unit (Capacity125,000 L/Day)

o Product of Distillation section (96.6%) is further Dehydrated under high temperature and high pressure to produce Fuel Grade Ethanol (99.9%) , by passing the superheat vapours of Ethanol through Molecular Sieves.
o This section also involves pneumetic and electronic control with Honeywell DCS

„« Effluent Treatment Plant (Bio Gas Unit) capacity 65000 M 3 /Day

o At this section BioGas is produced by using the spent waste of distillation unit, this involves biochemical reaction of anaerobic type. Gas produced contains 3-5 psi Pressure (Abs) and 55- 65 % Methane wich is supplied to bioler house

„« Utilities ( Steam Production, cooling towers, Instrument air Compressors and Process air Blowers) are as per requirement of the plant capacity.
