Overview
- The alcohol industry has been expanding since ancient times, with modern advancements accelerating production.
- Distilleries are major contributors to water and land pollution, primarily due to spent wash (effluent).
- Existing treatment methods often fall short of achieving Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD).
- Chem Process Systems Pvt. Ltd. has developed a patented, innovative solution to fully treat distillery spent wash while creating value-added products.
Technology Highlights
Core Technology
- Based on Thermo-Mechanical Reaction and Crystallization methods.
- Can be installed in any distillery to treat spent wash efficiently.
Operational Advantages
- Eliminates need for traditional bio-composting and incineration, reducing operational complexity.
- Enables distilleries to become self-sustainable and generate additional revenue.
Products from the Process
Potash (K₂SO₄)
- Extracted using Advanced Salt Separation Technologies combined with catalysts for thermo-chemical processing.
- Obtained in high-purity SOP (Sulfate of Potash) form.
- Fully organic extraction method maintaining chemical integrity and purity.
CMS / DPV (Concentrated Spent Matter / De-Potash Vinasse)
- By-product of potash extraction.
- Approved by NDRI Karnal and NDDB Calf Division as an alternative cattle feed binder.
- Recognized by the Department of Animal Husbandry for safe use in livestock feed.
Water Recovery
- Water recovered from Evaporation and Crystallizer Units can be sent to the existing CPU.
- Condensate is neutral with low TDS (<500 ppm), eliminating the need for neutralization.
Process Benefits
Efficiency & Purity
- Efficient separation: Evaporation allows physical separation without altering chemical properties.
- High-purity product: Pre- and post-treatment technologies such as RO, MBR, activated carbon filters, and peroxide oxidation enhance purity.
Environmental Impact
- Pollution-free and sustainable: Process reduces environmental footprint and supports ZLD compliance.
Energy-Efficient Design
Heat Utilization
- Direct heating allows recovery of evaporated water for process or heating purposes.
- Multi-stage design utilizes heat from one stage to the next, reducing steam consumption.
Advanced Integration
- Can integrate Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) or Thermal Vapor Recompression (TVR) for further energy savings.
Advantages for Distilleries
Operational Benefits
- Achieve Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) effortlessly.
- Reduce dependency on bio-composting and incineration.
Financial & Sustainability Gains
- Generate high-value products (Potash & CMS) for revenue.
- Recover clean water suitable for reuse.
- Enhance operational efficiency and sustainability.
