India’s Largest 660 KLPD Grain-Based Distillery:Seamless Turnkey Installation of Distillation, MSDH & Evaporation system, Setting New Benchmarks

Industry Context

In the alcohol and spirits industry, the efficient design and operation of distilleries are crucial for maintaining sustainability and reducing operational costs. This case study highlights our successful execution of a project involving one of the largest integrated evaporation plants for a grain-based distillery in India.

Challenges

1. Designing of Steam-less Evaporation

The project required the design of an evaporation system that operated without the use of steam, which is a significant departure from traditional distillation processes.

Achieving high evaporation rates using alternative energy sources required precise engineering and innovative design.

2. Higher Evaporation Duty

The project demanded a system capable of handling a higher evaporation duty to meet the distillery’s production targets.

Maximizing evaporation efficiency while minimizing energy consumption was critical for the project’s success.

Key Features of the Solution

1. One of the Largest Integrated Evaporation Plants in India

This project involved the installation of one of the largest integrated evaporation plants in the Indian distillery industry, setting a new standard for scale and efficiency.

The plant’s design incorporates cutting-edge technology to maximize operational efficiency and sustainability.

2. Maximum water Evaporation with Alcohol Vapours; “ZERO” Steam Consumption

The system was designed to achieve 135 tons per hour of evaporation using alcohol vapors instead of steam, resulting in “zero” steam consumption.

This innovative approach significantly reduces the carbon footprint and operational costs associated with traditional distillation processes.

Value Delivered

1. Significant Reduction in Overall Energy Consumption

The project delivered a significant reduction in the distillery’s overall energy consumption, contributing to lower operational costs and enhanced sustainability.

The reduction in steam usage not only decreased energy consumption but also minimized the environmental impact, aligning with global sustainability goals.

2. Integration & Performance Optimization

Each component was meticulously integrated into the overall plant design, ensuring optimal performance, long-term reliability, and maximum operational efficiency.

Conclusion

This project exemplifies our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence in the distillery industry. By overcoming technical challenges and delivering a highly efficient, steam-less evaporation system, we have set a new benchmark for energy-efficient distillation processes in India.
