The Role of Tomsa Distil in Pak Ethanol’s Distillation Process

Pak Ethanol uses advanced technology for efficient ethanol production, supporting exports to the USA, Europe, Middle East, Japan, and Korea.

Pak Ethanol, a distinguished distillery operating since 2004 in Matli, District Badin, Sindh, stands as a testament to innovation and excellence in the ethanol industry. An integral component of the Omni Group of Companies, Pak Ethanol has established itself as a leader in the manufacture of ethanol and liquid CO2. The company is certified under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 2200:2005, showcasing its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety in its operations.

Introduction of Advanced Distillation Technology

A pivotal factor in the success of Pak Ethanol is the installation of a state-of-the-art distillation plant by M/s. Tomsa Distil, S.L of Spain. This advanced distillation process is characterized by the latest vacuum distillation and molecular sieve dehydration technology, which significantly enhances the production of fuel ethanol. This innovative approach eliminates the need for chemical dehydration, ensuring a purer and more efficient production process.

The Impact of Tomsa Distil’s Technology

The cutting-edge technology provided by Tomsa Distil has revolutionized Pak Ethanol’s operations. The vacuum distillation and molecular sieve dehydration units are critical in producing high-quality ethanol, meeting both domestic and international standards. This process not only boosts the efficiency of ethanol production but also ensures that the final product is of superior quality, suitable for a variety of applications, including fuel blending and industrial use.

The raw material for ethanol production, molasses, is primarily sourced from the Omni Group’s sugar mills. The quality of molasses is crucial in the fermentation process, and the advanced distillation technology further optimizes this process. This synergy between raw material quality and cutting-edge distillation technology underlines Pak Ethanol’s commitment to excellence.

Expanding Market Reach

Pak Ethanol’s superior ethanol is in high demand across various international markets. The majority of the ethanol produced is shipped to the Fareast market, with significant exports to the USA, Europe, the Middle East, Japan, and Korea. This extensive market reach is a testament to the quality and reliability of Pak Ethanol’s products, made possible by the technological prowess of Tomsa Distil’s distillation plant.

Innovation in CO2 and Dry Ice Production

In addition to ethanol, Pak Ethanol boasts the largest dry ice producing facility in Pakistan. The plant produces 24 metric tons of food-grade liquid CO2, part of which is converted into food-grade dry ice pallets. The facility, procured from Techno Project Industrial – Italy, has a production capacity of 450 kg/hour. This diversification into CO2 and dry ice production exemplifies Pak Ethanol’s innovative spirit and its ability to leverage advanced technology for expanding its product portfolio.

Commitment to Sustainability

Pak Ethanol is also a pioneer in sustainable energy practices. The company operates an efficient biogas plant that powers its turbine, covering 80% of its energy requirements. This commitment to sustainability not only reduces operational costs but also minimizes the environmental impact, aligning with global standards for eco-friendly industrial practices.
