Introduction

Kerone’s Ethanol Recovery Plant from Sugarcane is a specialized industrial system designed to extract and purify ethanol from sugarcane juice, molasses, and bagasse through advanced fermentation, distillation, and dehydration processes. Sugarcane is one of the most efficient feedstocks for bio-ethanol production due to its high sucrose content and abundant availability in tropical and subtropical regions. Kerone’s plant integrates multi-effect evaporators, continuous fermenters, and molecular sieve dehydration units to deliver fuel-grade ethanol (99.9% purity) with maximum energy efficiency and minimum waste generation. The plant is engineered for scalability, allowing both small cooperative distilleries and large industrial facilities to benefit from optimized sugar-to-ethanol conversion ratios and minimal effluent discharge.

Why Choose Kerone Ethanol Recovery Plant from Sugarcane

Kerone brings decades of process engineering expertise to sugarcane-based ethanol recovery, offering turnkey solutions that combine high-yield fermentation technology with energy-efficient distillation columns. Our plants are built to comply with international biofuel quality standards and are equipped with automated process control systems (PLC/SCADA) for consistent, unattended operation. Kerone’s engineering team provides detailed process simulations prior to installation, ensuring each plant is optimized for the client’s specific sugarcane variety, climate, and production volume. With robust after-sales support, spare parts availability, and proven installations across India and abroad, Kerone stands as a reliable partner for sustainable ethanol production from sugarcane.

Types and Features of Ethanol Recovery Plant from Sugarcane

KERONE has strong technical expertise in process and mechanical design, along with manufacturing capabilities for plants of various capacities for Rectified Spirit (RS), Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA), and Anhydrous Alcohol (AA), also known as Fuel Ethanol or Molecular Sieve Ethanol. Our plant capacities range from 10 KL per day to 1250 KL per day.

We utilize spent wash boilers where effluent is used as fuel in the boiler. A back-pressure steam turbine is employed to generate electricity required for plant operation. Steam exiting the turbine is effectively utilized in the distillation and evaporation systems, and condensate after polishing is reused in the boiler, ensuring optimal energy efficiency.

  • Fermentation
  • Distillation
  • Effluent Treatment and Disposal

Spent wash generated as effluent is concentrated in a Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE) system. The concentrated spent wash is then burnt in the boiler as fuel along with bagasse or coal, ensuring no external discharge. This integrated approach makes our distilleries Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) plants.
