Fertilizers

Vinasse fertilizer is a co-product of alcohol production from sugar beets: potassium sulfate is separated from decrystallized vinasse by a process known as decrystallization. With its high potassium content, vinasse is approved for use in organic farming.

Another co-product of beet processing is scums: produced in the purification phase, pressed then compacted, these provide a high-calcium enriching agent.
