Ref. No. MR/CDL/ENV/2010-11/ To, M/s. Chhattisgarh Distilleries Ltd. Village Khapri, Kumhari, Dist. Durg. Chhattisgarh - 490042 Subject: Proposal for Lagoon Sludge composting at C.D.L. Plant

Date:- 17/11/2010

INTRODUCTION: C.D.L. produces alcohol both from grain and molasses. Effluent from both the streams are different from chemical characteristic point of view (i.e. BOD, COD, T.S.S. etc.). C.D.L. has lagoons for storage of effluent. Grain based plant effluent contains lot of grain fibers in it. These fibers get settled at bottom of lagoon. When the same lagoon were used to store molasses based effluent, heavy reaction along with emission of volatile gasses was observed, resulting in very foul smell. This was because of the combination of fibers from grain effluent with high BOD and Nitrogen content from molasses effluent which gave rise to fastidious media for bacterial degradation, that produced volatile acids, C.D.L. was advised by Mantras to empty the lagoons and scrap off out the sludge to get rid of the foul smell. Mantras also advised to store both effluents separately in lagoons. Composting Of Lagoon Sludge:The scrapped of lagoon sludge contains good amount of fibers, organic matter, nitrogen, and yeast . In lagoon it has been only incompletely degraded by anaerobic fermentation. Therefore it has got lot of potential to get degrade by aerobic method to generate rich quality, fibrous and porous organic manure along with beneficial soil micro- organisms.

Mantras Proposal for Sludge Composting:i) To scrap off out the sludge from lagoons. ii) To unload the sludge on compost plot in form of windrows or big heaps iii) TO inoculate the windrows/heaps with beneficial microbial culture supplied by Mantras. iv) To turn the heaps/windrows by J.C.B. machine bucket at an interval of every 3 day to create aerobic conditions. v) The temperature within the windrows/heaps will rise to 65 0C within 48 hours of inoculation of microbial culture. vi) To maintain the moisture content of the windrows/heaps of 35-40% by spraying effluent (Spent Wash) from time to time vii) Rich organic manure will be produced over a period of 30 days consuming effluent in ratio of 1:1.5 (effluent) Commercial Terms:a) Supervision& technical know- how charges- Rs. 1, 50, 000 /b) Supply of microbial culture Rs. 75/kg + Transportation + Loading and unloading + Tax and duties if any + octroi c) Payment term :- 50% of supervision charges and 20% of material cost is in advance along with work order, balance material cost against perform invoice and supervision charges on completion of 1st cycle
