For every liter of ethanol produced by the Ethanol Company Limited (ETHCO), thirteen (13) liters of effluent are discharged for evaporation in the effluent ponds. This has led to a dynamic project with exciting innovations in dealing with the sludge created in the ethanol production process. Besides the effluent discharged there is 1 ton of sludge sediment left everyday at the bottom of the mash clarifier, a sludge sedimentation tank installed between the fermenters and the beer holding tank. Removing this sludge before distillation implies that there will be less scaling in the distillation column and less clogging in the effluent lines to the evaporation ponds. However, another disposal burden is yet again created after the sludge is discharged from the clarifier.
