Praj to expand Godavari Biorefineries becoming India’s largest syrup-based ethanol plant

In India, Praj Industries has bagged an order to set up India’s largest capacity syrup-based ethanol plant from Godavari Biorefineries Ltd (GBL) in Karnataka. As a part of this project, Praj will expand the existing ethanol manufacturing capacity to 600,000 liters per day using sugarcane syrup. When commissioned, this will become India’s largest capacity syrup-based ethanol plant.

The expansion capacity at GBL Plant will continue to be a zero liquid discharge facility. The expansion will maintain zero liquid discharge norms by deploying innovative technology i.e.SHIFT, developed in Praj’s state-of-the-art R&D facility-PrajMatrix. The ‘SHIFT’ technology minimizes energy and water footprint, while maximizing value for customers.
