Establishments in this class manufacture nonpotable (industrial-grade) ethyl alcohol, typically through fermentation of grain or other biomass feedstocks followed by distillation and dehydration. End products are used as solvents, fuel blending components, chemical intermediates, and disinfectants. Operations involve continuous-process equipment, large storage tanks, boilers, and significant utility infrastructure.
