DHAMPUR

Dhampur Sugar Mills Limited is situated on the State highway near the Dhampur Railway Station. This sugar complex is the most integrated amongst facilities operated by the Dhampur Group, with a sugarcane crushing capacity of 15000 metric tonnes per day, refining capacity of 1500 metric tonnes of Plantation White Sugar, Distillery capacity of 170,000 liters for Ethanol and other Ethanol based Chemicals and a cogeneration capacity of 70 MW – the largest in India, in a single unit.

During the 2009-10 season, the unit was operational for 137 days and crushed 127.07 lac quintals of sugarcane, thereby witnessing a daily increase of 23.36 % over the previous season.

Dhampur is the first in the world to implement 105 kg/cm² boiler and turbine and has perhaps the most efficient cogeneration system in the world. It has also been a consistent and profitable enterprise and has contributed to the steady growth of the Group. It epitomizes the synergy in the diversification program of Dhampur.

Dhampur has undertaken innumerable revolutionary changes in terms of technologies, manufacturing processes and practices and various allied systems. It has introduced advanced machinery concepts like Fibrizors, 5 and 8 Roller Mills, Toothed Roll Pressure Feeder and Grooved Roll Pressure Feeder. The unit also deploys Hydraulic Drives that are used along with the Rollers, resulting in substantial saving of power. The unit targets to reduce power and steam consumption while increasing it’s distillery and chemical capacity.

Along with sugar, the unit also manufactures high value industrial chemicals from molasses. Sugarcane bagasse is used for producing power for internal consumption and for sale to the State Electricity Board.

The new cogeneration plant at Dhampur, uses boilers at 105 kg/cm2 pressure and extraction condensing turbines. For the first time by any sugar company in India and perhaps the world, Dhampur is using boilers at 105 kg/cm² for steam generation, with bagasse as fuel. This arrangement has resulted in very high energy efficiency, leading to reduction in the consumption of steam per MW of power generation.

Sports and social activities are being keenly promoted here. This facility has one of the best sport complexes available in any sugar mill in India, with emphasis on Squash. A development program in sports, lead by a team of able instructors, channelize the energies of our employees and their children, to healthy and productive outlets. The sports complex at Dhampur unit features an air-conditioned squash court, indoor badminton courts, an indoor swimming pool, table tennis facilities, a gymnasium and a volleyball court.
