HOW ITS MADE

During the production process, sugarcane juice is collected fermented, and distilled to produce the final product of Neutral Sugarcane Alcohol.  

STEP ONE

Extracting Sugarcane Juice

The first step in the production of Neutral Sugarcane Alcohol is to extract sugar-rich cane juice from the cane stalks by crushing them with an extractor or expeller. Upon extraction, the juice is gathered and delivered to the fermentation tank.

STEP TWO

Fermentation

Once the sugarcane juice is gathered in the fermentation tank, yeast is added to the juice. Upon mixing, the yeast enzymes will catalyze a reaction that generates ethanol. After juice extraction, there is a residue leftover that is referred to as fibrous bagasse, containing a moisture content of 45 to 50%. This is typically combusted to generate both electricity and heat for in-factory use. The mixture resulting from fermentation contains between 5-12% ethanol by weight, which we now refer to as beer. Next, the beer is transported to the distillation columns.

STEP THREE

Distillation and Dehydration

During this process, the ethanol is recovered in the distillation column. Once the ethanol is recovered, the purity of the ethanol can range from 92 to 95%. Thus, further dehydration is required to separate the water and obtain a higher ethanol purity. A common process to do this would be with molecular sieves. The final result of this is a fuel-grade anhydrous ethanol that is 200 proof.
