The system has three advantages namely:

1) 100% achievement of the pollution control parameters prescribed by ministry of Environment, Government of India and State Pollution Control Board as a distillery unit comes under highly polluting industry under 17 categories.

2) The byproduct is a complete water soluble, fine, brownish colour powder containing mainly potash and other nutrients useful for agriculture purpose, which is a value added product

3) The 100% treated effluent water is recycled for other processes in the factory thereby saving fresh water requirement

The plant is under operation since January 2003. The company has also placed an order for its additional plant of 7 lac litres per day of effluent treatment suitable to a 45,000 litres per day of distillery capacity.
