Dwarikesh Sugar Industries Limited has announced the commissioning of its 175 KL per day (KLPD) distillery at its Dwarikesh-Dham (Faridpur) plant in the Bareilly district.
Vijay S. Banka, Managing Director, Dwarikesh Sugar Industries Limited says, “The plant was commissioned recently and will use cane juice syrup and ‘B’ heavy molasses as feedstock for producing ethanol. The setting up of the distillery is an important milestone for Dwarikesh Sugar as the company’s distillery capacity now stands enhanced at 337.5 KL per day. It will result in recalibration of its revenue stream. While ethanol production will be doubled, sugar production will be moderated”.
Banka further comments, “The distillery is based on cutting edge technology, which will result in zero liquid discharge. The plant will be fully compliant of rigorous pollution emission norms, thus strengthening the company’s ecological relevance. Following commissioning of this distillery, the company has taken a decisive step towards environment protection and the national goal of 20 percent ethanol mixing by 2025”.
