Beverages

Due to its high organoleptic quality, our surfin alcohol is used by the leading European spirits manufacturers to produce many famous alcoholic beverages. Our range of products includes grain and cane alcohol.

Pharmaceuticals

The alcohol used by the pharmaceutical industry must meet various stringent requirements in terms of purity and neutrality. As a long-term supplier to the pharmaceutical industry, Ryssen Alcools is used to meeting the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia.

Industry

Ryssen Alcools offers a large range of alcohols for industrial applications. This ensures that all the needs of the manufacturers involved in this sector, including printing ink, screen wash, paints and solvents can be satisfied. Our products can be supplied undenatured or denatured.

Perfume

Thanks to the high and constant neutrality, Ryssen Alcools' products are excellent for preserving the fragrances of the leading French perfume manufacturers. Surfin alcohol is also used in many cosmetic products. Certain other applications, such as sprays, also need dehydrated neutral alcohol.

Fuel applications

Alcohol for fuel applications is commonly referred to as bioethanol.

The greatest part of the alcohol produced worldwide is indeed neither consumed as a beverage nor used in medicinal or industrial applications, but for some years now has ended up in the tanks of internal combustion engines of motor vehicles as fuel replacing gasoline. About 80% of the ethanol produced around the world is used for fuel. Due to its many benefits, fuelling cars with bioethanol is becoming increasingly popular.

Bioethanol as an alternative to fossil fuels has a range of advantages:

  • It preserves fossil resources.
  • It secures the supply with high-quality fuel from domestic raw materials.
  • It helps to protect the climate.
  • It creates a new branch of industry and strengthens rural areas.
  • It has beneficial chemical properties compared with conventional fuels.

Through conventional distillation and rectification, alcohol with a purity of around 96 vol.-% can be produced. However, to be used as a fuel in Europe, pure bioethanol with at least 99.7 vol.-% is needed. To reach this, the alcohol needs to undergo a dehydration, or, in other words, a "drying" process.

With its advanced dehydration facilities Ryssen Alcools is excellently positioned in a growing market to produce bioethanol for fuel applications.
