Sebeta Alcohol and Liquor Factory (SALF) is a sister company of National Alcohol and LiquorrnEnterprise (NALE). The factory was established in 1914 in Sebeta town and uses molasses asrnraw material for the production of potable and technical alcohols. It consists of a distillery andrnfilling plants. Its installed daily production capacity is 2500 liters of potable alcohol and aboutrn5000 liters of various liquors. The current production capacity was found to be on average 2100rnliters of 95.7oGL potable (fine) and 250 liters of 93oGL technical alcohols per day when thernfactory was running normally.rnWater balance, material balance and energy balance were drawn only for the distillery plant forrnthe filling section was under maintenance during sampling. The molasses, water and energyrnconsumption were found to be 6.3 kg, 168 liters and 22.12 MJ liters per liter of 96oGL alcohol.rnThe average BOD, COD and TDS in the wastewater were 20,866, 53,514 and 19000 mg/lrnrespectively. The total alcohol loss from the fermentation, decantation and distillation processrnunits was significant with the value of 13.22 %. The stillage from mash column is found a severernsource of water pollution.rnThe fermentation efficiency (78.02%), alcohol recovery at distillation unit (83.3%) and overallrnalcohol conversion efficiency (65.0%) were found to be low compared to values of similarrntechnologies in India, South Africa and Brazil.rnThe steam generation and distribution systems were studied and the boiler combustion efficiencyrnwas found extremely low (29%) resulting from excess air supply. Similarly, other sources of heatrnloss were identified and carefully examinedrnThe cleaner production options were generated, selected and evaluated for the distillery plant.rnCO2 Recovery, Cooling water recycling, lost heat recovery in the stillage and spent lee, indirectrnheating, generation of methane and fertilizer from stillage were considered for improvingrnresource utilization and reducing pollution loads. Other GHK practices were recommended tornbring overall efficiency in the plant
