Ingenio Tabacal, one of the largest sugar and ethanol producers in Argentina has selected Praj Industries for expansion of its alcohol & ethanol plant located in Salta Province.
Tabacal is owned by Seaboard Corporation, USA. Tabacal invited bids from international suppliers for this project. After due evaluation of various technologies from Europe, Brazil etc., Praj was selected based on its solution of lowest energy consumption, experience in the region and execution capability.
