Advanced Fermentation, Evaporation and Distillation for Premium Wheat-Based Ethanol: Innovation, Quality, and Sustainability

Abstract

Recognised as a pioneer in the development and production of the highest-quality extra neutral alcohol (ENA), this presentation explores Australian family-owned Manildra Groups’ alcohol production at their world-class ethanol distillery in Nowra, New South Wales.

Backed by our global reputation for exceptional quality and impeccable consistency, Manildra Group’s spirits deliver a neutral aroma, exceptionally smooth taste, and pleasant mouthfeel.

We will highlight our world-class fermentation and continuous column distillation processes, showcasing the 53-metre-high seven-column distillery, the largest in Southeast Asia. Our advanced Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) evaporators optimise energy use, enhance volumetric capacity, and maintain consistent ethanol concentration.

Our state-of-the-art beverage sensory laboratory provides reliable and independent odour sampling and testing services. Equipped with the latest technology, the laboratory’s conditions are precisely controlled for accurate sensory assessment.

Crafting premium Australian ENA with an environmental legacy front-of-mind, our highly integrated, closed-loop advanced manufacturing process value-adds to 100% Australian wheat. Reflecting an unwavering commitment to the purest ENA at the heart of our zero-waste process, Manildra Group has been acknowledged for sustainability at the 2023 Global Supplier Awards for international alcohol distributor Diageo.

Manildra Group’s expert team collaborates with scientists, engineers, and industry professionals to foster pioneering innovation and sustainable advancements in our all-Australian ethanol production. Our approach exemplifies how teamwork and precision drive the future of the highest-quality ethanol production, resulting in exceptionally pure, ENA.

Manildra Group’s mastery of fermentation, distillation, and sustainability practices ensures our ENA range stands out in quality, purity, and environmental responsibility, for domestic and global customers.
