IngenioTabacal, one of the largest sugar and ethanol producers in Argentina has selected Praj Industries for expansion of its existing alcohol and ethanol plant located in Salta province. Argentina has an ambitious ethanol blending program, with current mandate at 10%, which is likely to be increased in near future.
A professionally managed company, Tabacal is owned by Seaboard Corporation, USA. Tabacal invited bids from international suppliers for this project. After due evaluation of various technologies from Europe, Brazil etc, Praj was selected based on its solution of lowest energy consumption, experience in the region and execution capability.
For this 800 m3/day ethanol plant, Praj will employ efficient distillation and molecular sieve dehydration technology, using very low pressure exhaust steam to achieve 50-60% steam saving. Praj will also assist Tabacal in modernizing existing alcohol and ethanol production plant to bring the fermentation, distillation and vinasse treatment modules to achieve global benchmarks.
This plant will be one of the most efficient plants in Argentina's sugar belt. Earlier, Praj has commissioned a plant based on corn to ethanol in the Santa Fe province of Argentina for Vicentine SAIC. Praj has a significant market share in the Latin America. Recently, Praj commissioned one of the largest ethanol plants in Colombia for Riopaila Castilla with a capacity of 400 m3/day.
Praj Industries is a Process Engineering and Technology Company offering innovative end-to-end solutions for biofuels, brewery, industrial processes and water and wastewater treatment systems.
