Without a shadow of doubt, Batangas is not only known for
beaches. Known as Industrial Port City of CALABARZON, the province is also a home of a variety of industrial plants, one being the Absolute Distillers, Inc in Barangay Malaruhatan, Lian, Batangas. The plant operates as an alcohol distillery and endeavors to generate renewable sources of energy. Absolut Distillers is indeed new to me since I neither heard nor know about the plant until we visited it in our fieldtrip. I learned numerous things about the industrial plant, starting from foremost to the finest detail of it. Before the actual plant tour, a short introduction and discussion was transpired. From there, I learned the history and breakthroughs of the Absolut Distillers. I became acquainted with the raw materials and the product of the plant such as bioethanol, dry ice and liquid carbon dioxide. I got the full picture of the distillery operations including the process of conversion of alcohol from molasses and distillation itself. In addition, I learned the manufacturing process flow and I was engrossed by their waste management system.
