PRAJ was established in 1984
with the objective of providing cutting edge solutions to the
DISTILLERY INDUSTRY.
The Beginning
India was the starting point. Sugar industry in India is the backbone
of the rural economy. And, the future of this industry lay
in value addition by way of co-products like Alcohol. Quality
of Alcohol was the keyword. Praj focused on quality of spirit with
the introduction of innovative technologies in fermentation,
distillation and wastewater treatment.
Praj applied classical
mass and heat transfer theory for more efficient separation of impurities
during distillation with the
introduction of Bubble cap trays and Hyper stat Grid Trays.
|
|
In 1991, Praj established an R & D
Center. Many new systems have been developed in this R &
D Center, resulting in to seven patents.
Praj's expertise in fermentation and distillation was complemented
by its expertise in wastewater treatment solutions. In 1992
Praj's Sprannihilator System was given an award by the Govt.
of India, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers.

| |
|
|
In 1993, Praj also introduced Brewery Engineering,
Plant & Equipment.
In 1994, Praj went public. Its maiden IPO was oversubscribed seven times. Praj is listed on the BSE and NSE in India. Around this time,
Praj also branched out in the international market with orders from Indonesia and Philippines.
