Multipressure distillation system for production of Rectified Spirit
consists of five & for ENA seven distillation columns-
For -Rectified Spirit -

1. Degasifying cum analyzer column - Operation under vacuum

2 Pre-rectification column-Operation under vacuum

3. Rectification cum Exhaust column - Operation under pressure

4. Fusel oil Concentration column - Pressure

 Pneumatic control valves-Min. 19 Nos.
a) Pressure control valve -PCV- column top

b) Level control valves- LCV-column bottom, Feed &

retlux tanks

c) Flow control valves- FCV- on pipelines

d) Steam flow control valves- steam to various columns
e) Liquid flow control valves- Wash feed, R.S. draw,

spentwash and Spent lees line

Benefits of MPR Distillation: -

Since the analyzer column operates under vacuum, the formation

of by-products such as acetal may minimize there by improvement

in quality of alcohol.

Pre-rectification column ensure removal of sulfur compounds

/mercaptans and also reduces load of lower boiling volatile

compounds passing on to Rectifier cum exhaust column.

The chances of scaling due to invert solubility of certain

precipitating inorganic salts are minimized in vacuum distillation.

Vacuum distillation requires low steam consumption with reboiler

i.e. 2 Kg/lit. of Recited Spirit and around 3.2 Kg/lit. of ENA

General Parameters -
1) Steam Pressure -3.5 kg/cm2
2) Steam temp.'C-145
3) Total ENA Draw- 1250 LPH
4) F. Wash Feed- 16 M/hr
5) PRC R.S. draw -1653 LPH
6) RCII R.S. draw-1400 LPH
Analyzer cum degasser column-
Fermented wash from beer heater is preheated in pre-heater (PHE)

and fed at the top of the degasser column, Analyzer column operate under
vacuum and reboiler is at the bottom of the column. The shell side of the

reboiler heated by alcoholic vapours of rectification column top, which heats

the analyzer column liquid which is in tube side and alcoholic vapours of
shell side condensed and collected in rectifier reflux tank and again sent to

rectifier column top by pumps. The feeded fermented wash in degasser

column cum analyser column flows downward and heated, alcoholic

analyzer column top and fed

vapours rises up ward and draw is taken out at
from analyzer column bottom
to PRC column, spent wash is taken out

through plate heat exchangers to 5 days spentwash cooling tank.

Pre-rectifier column-
Top alcoholic vapors of analyzer column are feeded to pre-rectifier
column bottom. Pre-rectifier column operates under vacuum; low boiling

column. From top reflux

impurities are concentrated in the pre-rectifier
draw is taken out as impure alcohol (2.5 %) from the top condenser vent

tank and by pump it is

condenser. The top draw is fed to PRC rectified spirit
fed to middle of extractive distillation column during ENA mode, during

R.S. mode fed to the Rectifier column. Higher alcohols LFO and HFO draw
sent to fusel oil collection/feed tank and fed to FOC.

The pre-rectifier column bottom reboiler where low pressure steam is
