CPU of 2000 KLD capacity.
The treated water from CPU is partially recycled for syrup/molasses dilution and
rest is used for cooling tower makeup. A part of this water will also be used for
greenery and spraying water on roads to curb dust in the premises.

47. Odour sources and control measures
47
Odour is generated from fermentation area, spent wash drains, storage tanks/lagoons, molasses handling area, compost
area, effluent treatment facility of sugar plant and yeast handling and storage area.
The odour control measures are as follows;
Odour is controlled at source by cGMP practices.
Fermenter lids to be closed, gaskets and seals to be periodically checked.
Odour producing materials such as RS/ENA/Ethanol are stored in tanks with proper safety measures, as per
standard practices and regular monitoring of the fixtures such as gaskets, seals etc. to be carried out.
Regular monitoring to be done for checking of any leakages in piping and fittings.
Better housekeeping maintained to ensure good hygienic condition in the premises.
Effluent drains of distillery and sugar plant to be kept clean for easy flow.
Effluent treatment plant maintained on regular basis.
Fragrance flowering trees or shrubs to be planted near odour generating areas like fermenter tanks, ETP etc.
Odour from sources such as holding ponds/lagoons to be controlled by atomized spray of chlorine dioxide.
Better cane management to avoid staling of sugar.
Regular steaming of all fermentation equipment.
Control of temperature during fermentation to avoid in-activation / killing of yeast.

• The Severity mapping has been carried out using the ALOHA Areal Locations of
Hazardous Atmospheres) software 5.4.7.
• A technique used to generate an incident list is to consider potential leaks and major
releases from storage facilities.
• The study displays its estimate as a threat zone, which is an area where a hazard
(such as toxicity, flammability, thermal radiation, or damaging overpressure) has
exceeded a user-specified Level of Concern (LOC).
