Netoil Company  Ltd  is specialized in the distribution of fermentation ethyl alcohol of all origins, quantities and volumes, which we supply mainly from European sources . We trade  also   bulk ethanol of beverage grade, as well as Ethanol of  industrial, raw and fuel grades.

We supply in  tank lories and ISO containers and where possible in drums and IBC.

The Principal Grades of Ethanol :

The raw material of the ethanol: Cane molasses, beet molasses, grains (corn, wheat, Rye), wood, tapioca, fruit alcohols (Apples), Grape or any other material that can be fermented

We can  also supply  Synthetic ethanol of 96% or 99%.

Netoil Company Limited thru our principals is supplying Bulk and Drum ethanol to wide variety of customers in the beverage, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and industrial sectors in Europe, Middle East, Africa,  Central Europe, and the USA.

The main grades are:

• Heads and Tails (Feints) min 90% vol
• Raw or crude ethanol of min 90% vol
• Rectified Ethanol of min 96% vol (potable grade) from: Grain, Beet or Cane molasses or Potatoes
• Industrial grade ethanol min 96% vol (REN, Sekunda)
• Anhydrous Ethanol (min 99.9%)

Specialities:

We are also  specializing on  the following products that we call specialities on a worldwide scale:

• Fruit Alcohols: Pear or Apple
• Fermentation Ethanol min 96% vol (potable grade)
• Wine Distillate 75% vol and Wine Alcohol of min 96% vol
• European Brandy from 6 months up to 6 years old
• Cachaça from Brazil
• Continuous Distillation Rum 95.8% vol
• Scotch Whisky, American Blended Whisky, Canadian Whisky -- in Bulk

Specifications for the above mentioned products  can  be provided on request , as most of these products are traded  on their organoleptic characteristics.

Denaturing:

We are able to offer denatured ethanol (MEK, Bitrex, DEP, Methanol etc) to list them all would be exhaustive.  We can also make tailor made denaturing, within the limits of customs approval and loading facilities possibilities

Transport:

For all our transport requirements we are using specialised transport companies with their own material who handle ethanol. Where food-grade products are concerned, we also use food-grade carriers.

How Quality  is controlled?

On request we use independent surveyors, SGS, Saybolt, to check Quality and Quantity to survey loading and / or discharge of material. We also have established links with independent consultants and laboratories such as UNGDA and Eurofin to answer questions on quality and handling.

All our cargoes are covered by our Worldwide (with exclusions) Marine Cargo Insurance Policy. In the event of quality problem, subject to the correct disclosure procedure being followed, is automatically referred to them.
