Whether producing fuel grade ethanol, neutral beverage alcohol or any other high quality industrial spirits, the making of alcohol requires a wide knowledge of each and any single process operation. A good global solution involves an accurate selection of feedstock handling techniques and an appropriate design for all downstream operations, such as the mash conversion to sugar (when required), fermentation and distillation, an essential requisite to achieve the required purity and quality standards for any produced alcohol while maintaining process efficiencies at the highest levels.

​

Of equal importance, is the correct approach to the effluent treatment  and the recovery of by-products, not only in respect of the environment, but also to add value to the project revenue stream, by selling fertilizers, recoverable carbon dioxide, bio-based chemicals, and other by-products.

​

Last, but not least, a thermal optimization of the entire project shall be conducted to either reduce the energy costs associated with alcohol production or increase revenues by co-generation with feedstock derived biomass.
