Medium-term Goals:
- West Bengal with a capacity of 140- kilo litre per day capacity plant
- Debottlenecking of the Rajasthan Plant from 140 kilo litre per day to 160 kilo litre per day
- Planning to expand the Bihar plant capacity by ~ 140 kilo litre per day
Short-term Goals:
- Setting up evaporators for all plants to concentrate effluent which will give value addition of final product as cattle feed, zero discharge for environmental protection and water availability as hot condensate for process reuse, saving on use of fresh cold water and heat/energy saving
- Increasing alcohol percentage in fermentation thereby lowering effluent quantity generation and production at lower steam consumption per liter of product
- Reconfiguration of high temperature streams to reduce steam consumption in process such as liquefaction & evaporation
Environmental Challenges
- Minor Disruptions in West Bengal due to COVID-19 pandemic and floods in Bihar facility led to lower utilization
- Covid-19 pandemic affecting lives and businesses around the world
- Floods in Bihar
Mitigation Strategies
- Cost rationalization measures
