Tomsa Destil Elevates Industrial Alcohol & Biofuel Technology at ISSCT Congress

With a legacy spanning over 170 years, Tomsa Destil, headquartered in Madrid, Spain, is a global pioneer in engineering solutions for the alcohol and biofuels industries. Their showcase at the ISSCT Congress 2025 reaffirmed their commitment to transforming process efficiency and sustainability in sugarcane and ethanol sectors.

Global Engineering Excellence & EPC Solutions

Tomsa Destil provides comprehensive end-to-end EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) services—from design, equipment manufacturing, installation, to commissioning—for extraction, fermentation, distillation, and waste management systems.

Notably, they pioneered the vacuum distillation (Multipressure) system in the 1970s and have completed over 700 projects in more than 48 countries over the last 30 years, even in demanding environments like tropical zones and high-seismic areas.

Advanced Equipment Manufacturing & Quality Assurance

Their state-of-the-art workshops span 5,000–7,200 m² in Madrid, enabling in-house fabrication of critical process equipment such as alembic stills, distillation and washing columns, evaporators, condensers, sieves, decanters, and tanks. They use materials including carbon steel, stainless alloys, copper, and brass, with compliance to standards like ASME VIII, API-650, and European Pressure Equipment Directive norms.

Rigorous quality control includes full traceability, welding certifications (TIG, GMAW, GTAW), pressure testing, non-destructive inspections, and final dossier documentation.

Sustainable Innovation & R&D Leadership

Tomsa Destil embeds sustainability across its operations—optimizing energy efficiency and valorizing byproducts (e.g., DDGS, CO₂, biomass, dehydrated stillage) while advancing decarbonization.

Their dedicated R&D center in Madrid—staffed by engineers, biologists, chemists, and pharmacists—drives innovation in next-gen biochemicals (2G ethanol, methanol, lactic acid, oils) and green fuels.
