Rectified Spirit, also known as rectified alcohol or ethyl alcohol (C₂H₅OH), is a highly purified form of ethanol obtained through the process of repeated distillation known as rectification. This high-strength, neutral alcohol is widely used across industries due to its purity and versatility. It serves as a key ingredient in the production of alcoholic beverages, pharmaceutical formulations, perfumes, and chemical solvents. Derived primarily from the distillation of fermented sugarcane molasses and other saccharine materials, rectified spirit is the concentrated, spirituous essence of ethanol.
Our facility is equipped with a 45 KLPD HiFerm GR–Fermentation and Multi-pressure Distillation Unit, commissioned in 2002. With a robust annual production capacity of 135.0 lakh liters of Rectified Spirit (R.S.) and 54.0 lakh liters of Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA), we deliver consistent export-quality ethanol that meets stringent industry standards.
