Ethanol

Ethanol production starts when the cane stalks are crushed to extract the cane juice. The cane juice is then fermented in a fermentation tank where the yeast fermentation reaction occurs to produce ethanol along with other industrial spirits such as RS and ENA. RS and ENA has various industrial as well as potable uses. Ethanol is used as an additive to automotive gasoline.
