Thereafter, the industry has obtained consent to establish (NOC expansion) from pollution angle vide no. CTE/Exp/PTA/2021/14354887 dated 02/02/2021, valid upto 10/12/2021 for installation of another unit to produce Ethanol/ENA/Rectified Spirit @ 105 KLD by using Grain @ 235 MT/day as raw material, Bottled Liquor (IMFL/CL) @ 25000 cases/day, Thermal Power (for captive use) @ 3 MW as the main product and DDGS @ 70 MT/day, CO2 @ 75 MT/day as By-product for along with Zero Liquid discharge of trade effluent.

Now, the industry has applied for renewal of Consent to Operate under Water Act, 1974 and Air Act, 1981 under red category for manufacturing of Rectified Spirit/Ethyl Alcohol/Ethnol/ENA/Bottling @ 70.0 Kilo Liters/Day by using Grain @ 160.0 Metric Tonnes/Day as raw material with requisite documents. The industry has deposited Rs. 63600/- vide Receipt No. 690485813 dated 03.03.2023 as consent fee under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Rs. 63600/- vide Receipt No. 638430326 dated 02.03.2023 under the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.

The industry has submitted compliance report of the consent conditions earlier granted to it under the Water Act, 1974 and under the Air Act, 1981.   To verify the contents of the application, the industry was visited by EE & AEE of this office on 06.03.2023, wherein it was observed as under:- 1.    The industry was engaged in the bottling of PML (Punjab Made Liquor) only. The industry has 4 vessels for storage of PML and 5 vessels for storage of IMFL (Indian Made Foreign Liquor). 2.    The plant of the industry for production of ENA/R.S./ethanol @ 70 KLD was found not in running conditions as the same seems to have not been operated since long and was under repair and maintenance. 3.    No grains (raw material) for production plant was found stored inside the industry. 4.    Although decanter and MEE installed by the industry were in good condition, however, the same also seem to have not been operated since long. 5.    ETP installed by the industry as well as boiler furnace of capacity 12 TPH along with trema-cyclone installed as APCD with this boiler furnace were not in running conditions as connections of ETP and duct connecting APCD with chimney were found out of order. 6.    The industry has two lagoons for storage of spent wash/spent lees, however, the same were found totally dry. 7.    Co-generation plant of 1 MW capacity was also out or order and seems to have not been operated since long. 8.    PML is being bottled in fresh plastic bottles where washing of bottles was not being done, whereas IMFL is being bottled in fresh glass bottles, however the washing of these glass bottles is done. As informed by the representative, 95 % bottling is done for PML and remaining 5% bottling is done for IMFL. Bottle wash from IMFL is intended to be sent to the same ETP as mentioned at point no. 5. above. 9.    A drain passes near the back boundary wall of the industry meeting river Ghaggar near village Chandu in District Sangrur, however no discharge was seen from the industry into this drain. 10.  The industry has laid only the foundation work of the 35 TPH capacity boiler and the construction work for ETP of capacity 1200 KLD capacity is yet to be started. 11.  The industry is yet to obtain site clearance under Factories Act from SAC for 70 KLD ENA/R.S./ethanol production, as per special condition of earlier granted CTOs. 12.  Further, the industry has just applied for obtaining renewal of CTOs under the Water Act, 1974 and the Air Act, 1981 for 70 KLD ENA/R.S./ethanol production. In view of above facts, it is recommended that although extension in validity period of CTE already granted by the Board for 105 KLD ENA/R.S./ethanol production may be granted for a period of one year, however, CTOs applied by the industry may only be considered for bottling of liquor only since the production plant for 70 KLD ENA/R.S/ethanol production capacity is not in running condition.
