Description
Process for Reducing Distillery Spent Wash to ZERO% Pollution Status
More particularly this invention relates to a process for reducing >50% of total distillery spent wash into two streams, one forming PERMEA TE stream for recycling and the other REJECT stream for converting it suitable for composting thereby achieving ZERO% pollution status for safe disposal of spent wash emitted by ethyl alcohol manufacturing distilleries producing various grades of ethyl alcohol using various raw materials such as :
1. Molasses derived from sugar canes;
2. Sugar cane juice;
3. Starch obtained from various grains; and
4. Sugar syrup of various concentrations by total volume of feed stock effluent.
DEFINITIONS
For brevity sake the following expressions wherever appearing throughout this specification shall mean and include the meaning set against each expression as evaluated and practiced world-wide in terms of pollution control:
'RO' means Reverse Osmosis membrane filter technology; 'NF' means Nano Filter membrane technology; £UF' means Ultra Filter membrane technology; 'TDS' means Total Dissolved Solids; 'COD' means Chemical Oxygen Demand; 'PPM5 means Parts Per Million; 'BOD' means Biological Oxygen Demand; 'TSS' means Total Suspended Solids; 'PERMEATE' means colourless or pale coloured aqueous discharge mixed with dissolved solids which passes through RO, NF, UF and MF Modules; 'REJECT' means coloured liquid which has~not passed through RO, NF, UF, MF modules; 'SPENT WASH' means distillery effluentdfscharged by alcohol producing industries forming star ing feed stock for carrying out the process of this invention; 'PLUMBING NETWORK5 means a network comprising a combination of plumbing pipes, stop cocks, centrifugal pump, piston pump, fluid pressure regulators, pressure gauge, acid injector and other plumbing accessories connecting spent wash reservoir to at least two or more series connected RO filter modules for splitting spent wash discharged by ethyl
alcohol producing industry into colourless permeate and reject streams;
'MOLASSES' molasses derived from cane sugar and ethyl alcohol producing industries;
'MF' means Micro Filtration;
'PRESS MUD' means sludge coming out from cane sugar factory at sulfitation stage.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The process of this invention includes the steps of splitting into two streams total spent wash and reducing volume down to >5 % by extracting therefrom colourless or stightly coloured Permeate for recycling and a Reject fluid stream for composting during pressure circulation of said spent wash through herein described plumbing network connected to said spent wash reservoir and said RO filter modules thereby attaining ZERO% pollution status making surrounding atmosphere safe for all living beings and natural vegetation.
BACKGROUND OF PRIOR ART
Distilleries producing ethyl alcohol from various starting materials especially molasses derived from cane sugar give rise to large values of highly polluting aqueous effluent, which highry pollutes the surrounding atmosphere. Depending on characteristics of the technology used for fermentation and/or distifiatiou, the quantity of effluent can vary from about 9 to 15 liters per liter of ethyl alcohol produced. The said spent wash discharge has large values of COD, BOD, TDS or TSS as evaluated in terms of pollution control parameters practiced world wide. The total pollution control of the same can only be achieved either by concentration followed by incineration, aeration or by composting. However, the energy required for concentration process or the quantitative availability of composting material required for effective composting are the limiting factors to achieve the minimum standards prescribed by pollution control board. Success of pollution control depends on either the energy used for evaporation and incineration or the ratio of quantities of composting material to the volume of effluent. No other process for
pollution control in the field of Ethyl alcohol manufacture is known to achieve effective ZERO pollution status. The reduction of total volume of spent wash can only be achieved by spHtting the spent wash into Permeate and Reject streams by RO membrane technology with much less energy input compared to that of thermal evaporation. The reduction of volume by RO membrane technology accommodates the spent wash in the most desired ratio with the available quantity of composting material. Under the circumstances, the process for reduction of spent wash by RO membrane technology according to the process of this invention to reduce its total volume, offers a suitable, convenient and technically feasible remedy in terms of concentration either for incineration or composting, to attain effective ZERO% pollution status prescribed for distillery spent wash by Pollution Control Board.
PRIOR ART
The traditionally known prior art methods of pollution control which appeared to hold some promise till now are: i) Biogas generation followed by aeration to split and break polluting factors; ϋ) Thermal Concentration of polluting factors and followed by incineration; ϋi) Composting as fertiliser and or iv) Soil irrigation
However, none of them have proved to be either commercially viable or fully suitable for reducing pollution status. In spite of spHtting and breaking down 90% of the polluting Factors by biogas generation followed by aeration, no amount of forced aeration of the biogas effluent could split and break the balance 10% of indelibly coloured polluting factors. Although concentration of effluent followed by incineration proved to be technically more promising, the energy required to reduce it to the volume suitable for incineration and the capital costs involved made it unattractive and not a viable proposition . However, the composting alone of said distillery effluent was found to be an ineffective means for its disposal.
Thus, none of said prior art methods, though technically feasible, could bring about successful near ZERO% pollution control.
FILTRATION BY MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY
Filtration of spent wash by membrane technology basically comprises of four filtration tecl iques e.g. a. RO (Reverse Osmosis) b. NF (Nanofiltration) c. UF (Ultra Filtration); and d. MF (Micro Filtration) wherein filter membranes themselves are formed from different materials of construction and configuration. In addition, filter methods in membrane technology can only be carried out by using three different types of configurations viz. spiral wound, hollow fiber and plate and frame configuration, I have observed mat out of above four filtration techniques only RO membrane technique is found to give colourless water enabling 100% recycling.
The proportion of water with dissolved solids in Permeate and Reject streams also depend on various configurations of membranes put into the respective filter modules.
My research in that behalf has revealed that: a) PERMEATE obtained using RO filter technology with minimum energy cost, is colourless and is found to be more than or equal to 50% of the original spent wash feed stock and cuts maximum of the TDS, COD in the spent wash and therefore, can easily pass the minimum pollution status prescribed for uie distillery industries. b) The reject stream when verified for composting is found to give good results and helps attain ZERO% pollution status prescribed by the Pollution control board c) The high TDS ranging from 5000 to 35000 ppm in such aqueous distillery spent wash under study produces choking and folding of said membranes. Thus flat plate and frame configuration of filter membrane RO nodule g v& best results in terms of long term continuity of flow rate and in that any interruption in said flow rate due to choking and fouling could be removed and original flow rate restored by back fl hing or chemical cleaning of said choked filters, which is impossible in any other configuration.
STATEMENT OF INVENTED PROCESS
Process for reducing total volume of distillery spent wash for recycling and converting tc ZERO % pollution status during its circulation through a plumbing network with minimum energy costs comprises a combination of a reservoir having an inlet and an outlet wherein said inlet being coupled to spentwash discharge outlet and said reservoir outlet being coupled to second or last of series connected filter member module, means for adjusting said effluent pH to around 6.5 by addition of acid such as hydrochloric acid or alkali; a stirrer, a centrifugal pump and accessories thereof, a combination of sand filter and a filter cartridge for respectively sieving and rejecting any suspended particles of 100 micron and 10 micron size; a pressure injector for injecting anti-sealant compound into said filtrate by a reciprocal pump maintaining present pressure during its circulation through said network coupled to two series connected filter membrane modules which converts it into PERMEATE suitable for recycle and REJECT for composting.
According to one embodiment to prevent and save wastage of emitted distillery spent wash said process is first primed by operating said equipment to operate in REC YLE mode for some time before starting the regular process cycle.
According to another embodiment any spent wash sample from any one of plurality of flat filter membranes connected to RO filter modules can be pulled out for analysing and verifying with original percentage of TDS and COD in said distillery spent wash.
