Sugar & ethanol testing, for mills and distilleries.

Analytical testing across the sugar, molasses, ethanol, ENA and denatured-alcohol chain — for process control, dispatch clearance, incoming-material checks and independent third-party verification.

Who we test for

Testing partner to sugar groups and distilleries across the region — including mills, refineries and process-control laboratories running on tight dispatch schedules.

One laboratory, the full chain

Material changes at every stage — so do the parameters that matter

Cane & process

Brix · purity · pH

02

Sugar

Pol · ash · SO₂ · colour

03

Molasses

TS · RS · sludge · Ca

04

Fermentation

Fermentable sugars

Section 02

Ethanol, ENA & denatured alcohol

Full specification testing on distillery output, tanker samples and inward consignments — 19+ parameters.

CategoryParameters
PhysicalAppearance, relative density / specific gravity, boiling point, miscibility with water
PurityEthanol content, methanol content, higher saturated alcohols (C3–C5), residue on evaporation
