Grain Based Distillery Plant
We are a renowned manufacturer of Grain based distillery plants for many industries. We also deal with turnkey suppliers, designing and engineering consultation. This distillation system is created using high-quality parts such as tanks, connections, and equipment, providing lasting reliability.
A grain based distillery is a type of distillery that uses grains as the main ingredient in the production of spirits. Grains such as wheat, rye, barley, corn and oats are all commonly used in grain based distilleries. The grains are milled into a mash which is then fermented and distilled to create the desired spirit.
Grain based distilleries have been around for centuries and are still popular today. They are used to produce a wide variety of spirits including whiskey, vodka, gin, rum and brandy.
Grain based distilleries have several advantages over other types of distilleries. The grains used in the production process are generally cheaper than other ingredients such as fruits or vegetables. This makes grain based distilleries more cost effective for producers . Additionally, grain based distilleries are able to produce a wide variety of spirits in a relatively short amount of time.
Grain based Distillery Process/Operations
The grain based distillery process will have following steps/operations. Similar process steps would be followed in both the phases. Accordingly, common process steps/operations for both the phases of the distillery project are described below;
- Grains receiving and storage
- Grains handling and milling
- Slurry preparation/liquefaction
- Saccharification and instantaneous fermentation
- Fermentation
- Multi-pressure distillation
- Decantation
- Multi-effect evaporation
- Spirit storage
Frequently asked question about Grain Distillery Plant
A grain distillery plant consists of several integrated systems designed for efficient spirit production. Key components include grain handling and milling units, slurry preparation tanks for liquefaction, and saccharification vessels. These lead into fermentation tanks and distillation columns, where alcohol is separated from the mash using high-quality tanks, connections, and automated process equipment.
Yes, you can achieve zero liquid discharge (ZLD) by integrating a Multi-Effect Evaporation (MEE) plant and a DDGS dryer. Attomo’s turnkey solutions process spent wash into Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles (DDGS), an animal feed byproduct. This setup eliminates liquid waste while reducing steam consumption through advanced heat recovery and vapor-liquid separators.
The grain-based ethanol process involves four primary stages: milling, liquefaction, saccharification, and fermentation. First, grains like corn or broken rice are ground and mixed into a slurry. Enzymes then convert starches into fermentable sugars. Finally, yeast ferments these sugars into alcohol, which is refined through multi-stage distillation and molecular sieve dehydration.
A turnkey grain distillery solution provides a streamlined, end-to-end approach to plant construction and operation. By partnering with an expert like Attomo, you receive comprehensive designing, engineering consultation, fabrication, and assembly. This reduces downtime, ensures the use of durable materials like SS304 or SS316, and guarantees a system optimized for maximum yield.
Wheat, corn, rye, barley, and rice are the most common grains used for industrial spirit and ethanol production. Grain-based distilleries are highly cost-effective because these raw materials are often cheaper than molasses or fruit. Attomo designs versatile plants that can process various feedstocks to produce high-quality Rectified Spirit, Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA), or fuel ethanol.
