Technology

The design, technology and supervision of the plant construction have been made by the Austrian engineering company Vogelbusch (a leader in the ethanol industry). The equipment has been delivered by first-class world producers such as Siemens, ABB, Schneider, Endress+Hauser, Vettertec, Flottweg, Kaeser, EnviroChemie. The company has 160 employees. The process groups in the plants are designed in a way which ensures minimum 350 days of operation yearly. Spare pieces of equipment are provided at all critical points, thus ensuring that the maintenance of the components does not cause pauses in the production. After the plant had been put into operation, the company continued investing in technological enhancement, increasing energy efficiency, better environmental performance and wasteless production: 2010 г. – increase of the production capacity from 60 000 to 85 000 liters of ethanol per day (30 000 000 liters per year) 2011 г. – biomass steam plant which replaced the natural gas with more efficient and environment-friendly fuel – wheat straw 2012 г. – molecular sieves installation for production of neutral dehydrated ethanol (99,99 vol.%) and bioethanol 2013 г. – waste water treatment plant under engineering and technology of the German company EnviroChemie. A modern technology was implemented to process organic waters to biogas, combining the environmental effect with increased energy efficiency 2014 г. – silo warehouse with capacity of 42 000 tonnes. The equipment is produced by the American company GSI. The equipment includes a corn drier with capacity of 1000 tonnes/day More about the technology for production of ethanol and DDGS.
