Produced through the fermentation of sugarcane juice, hydrous ethanol is used directly in flex-fuel vehicles. We also produce industrial ethanol, which is mainly used in cosmetics, beverages, and paints.

Plantation
The soil is prepared, the sugarcane is planted, and it receives the necessary treatment to grow in a healthy and productive way.
↓
CTT
The sugarcane is harvested, transported by trucks, and taken to our industrial plant.
↓
Milling
The sugarcane is milled, where we separate the juice for sugar and ethanol production, and the bagasse for electricity generation.
↓
Juice treatment
The juice is treated and filtered so that it is in perfect condition for the next processes.
↓
Fermentation
Our yeasts, when fed with the sugar from the juice, transform it into wine, where the ethanol is found.
↓
Centrifugation
The wine formed in the previous process is centrifuged, separating it from the yeast.
↓
Distillation
Through evaporation and condensation in the distillation columns, ethanol is separated and obtained..
