Ethanol is produced by fermenting sugarcane juice, and molasses,. The process involves crushing the cane stalks to extract juice or molasses, which is then sent to a fermentation tank where yeast converts it into ethanol. Ethanol is an advanced biofuel that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It's also added to fuel to reduce India's dependence on imported crude oil.
RS is a highly concentrated alcohol that is produced from sugar cane molasses through fermentation and distillation. It is also known as neutral spirits, rectified alcohol, or ethyl alcohol. The government has allowed sugar mills and distilleries to produce RS from sugarcane juice and B-Heavy molasses for the Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2024-25.
Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) is a colorless, food-grade alcohol is produced by brewing sugarcane molasses with yeast, and then distilling it multiple times. ENA has a neutral smell and taste, and typically contains over 95% alcohol by volume.
Compost is a biological process that can be used to treat and utilise waste from the sugar industry, such as pressmud. Composting can help reduce pollution and create a valuable soil conditioner and organic fertilizer.
DWGS is a byproduct of the ethanol production process that is used as a feed additive for animals and aquaculture. DDGS is used as a feed additive for cattle, poultry, and aquaculture. It's also being used as a raw material for manufacturing other products.
DDGS is a byproduct of the ethanol production process that uses grains like corn, or rice. DDGS is a feed ingredient substitute that is used in the feed industry because of its high nutritional content and low production cost. DDGS can be used as a renewable energy source through pyrolysis or gasification.
CO2 is a process of fermentation, which is when microbes like yeast break down sugars to produce ethanol and CO2, is used in the beverages, foundries, refrigerators and trans refrigerators.
Compressed Biogas is produced during anaerobic digestion of distillery spent wash /Press mud. The biogas is purified by using IISc technology with 3- stage membrane technology to produce high purity methane content >97% & calorific value and other properties similar to CNG used as automotive and industries as a sustainable fuel.
