A view of Effluent treatment plant

In an effort to bring to India, state of the art technology for the treatment of distillery effluent, Sakthi Sugars entered into collaborations with M/s Societe Generale Pour Les Techniques Nouvellus (SGN) of France and M/s Smogless of Italy in the year 1985. A Pollution Control Division was set up in the company and the division started activiely offering solutions to distilleries, breweries and dairies. The disposal of treated effluents in a most scientific manner - composting with press mud, HRTS and ferti-irrigation - all methods approved by NEERI (National Environmental Engineering Research Institute) Pune, India and PCB (Pollution Control Board) India.

Primary Treatment Plant (SGN Anaerobic Fixed Film Bio-Methanisation)

The first Bio-Methanisation plant for primary treatment of distillery effluent was installed at Sakthinagar in the year 1987 and this was the first biggest digester erected in India at that time.  This system is based on SGN Anaerobic Fixed Film Bio-Methanisation Process by which the effluent is treated efficiently with a BOD reduction of 90% and COD reduction of 65%.  The bio-gas generated during the process is utilised in the boiler as fuel replacing furnace oil, saving substantial fuel costs.

Sakthi Sugars has commisioned 15 similar effluent treatment plants in distilleries across the country, which have helped not only to save money by conserving substantial amounts of furnace oil, but have also helped reduce pollution.

Sakthi Sugars has completed a project at Thailand offering consultancy services for establishing a similar bio-gas plant.  Sakthi Sugars is now looking forward to similar projects from Asian countries.
