MEDAS contracts order for ethanol plant in Maharashtra
MEDAS EnggDesign has secured a major contract from NSL Sugars for its Jai Mahesh Unit in Mazalgaon. The 500,000 LPD distillery will produce ethanol from sugarcane syrup and grains. Using energy-efficient, multi-feedstock technology, the project aligns with India’s biofuel policy. Execution has begun, showcasing MEDAS’s proven expertise in distillery engineering.
MEDAS EnggDesign (MEDAS), a leading company specialising in distillery, brewery and food processing solutions, has been awarded a significant contract by NSL Sugars – one of India’s top 10 sugar producers.
The contract pertains to NSL Sugars’ Jai Mahesh Unit, located in Mazalgaon, where MEDAS will serve as the technology, engineering and equipment partner for their state-of-the-art distillery project.
The plant capacity is 500,000 litres per day based on sugarcane syrup and grains.
The new facility, based on MEDAS’s cutting-edge design, will operate on multiple feedstocks including sugarcane syrup and grains, to produce fuel-grade ethanol as part of the Government of India’s National Biofuel Policy.
The distillery will utilise low-pressure distillation system, resulting in higher power generation, along with an energy-efficient evaporation system that uses sugar and dryer vapours for process.
This integrated approach ensures minimal energy consumption and maximum output.
“MEDAS, incorporated in 2018 has already designed, engineered and commissioned multiple distillery plants across India operating on multiple feedstocks, including grains and sugarcane juice/molasses.
“Our recent success includes a 423,000 LPD sugarcane juice/Grain based plant in Karnataka and a 125,000 LPD grain based ethanol plant in North India. We are honoured that NSL Sugars recognised our capabilities and entrusted us with this high-impact project,” said Abhay Chaudhari, managing director of MEDAS.
Execution on the NSL project is already underway, with significant progress achieved in a short period of time.
