Alconcp

AlcoNCP, based in Durban South Africa, a subsidiary Alco (www.alcogroup.com), is proud to have completed and commissioned the first large scale maize ethanol plant in Africa. In 2019 AlcoNCP (www.alconcp.com), formerly NCP Alcohols, embarked on a 2-year expansion project to change raw material from molasses to maize, build a new distillery with 55% capacity increase, and optimize energy use, named the NCP100 Project. The upgrade combined the latest technology, innovation, and engineering, making AlcoNCP the largest fermentation distillery on the African continent while retaining its reputation as one of the world's finest quality neutral alcohol producers.

Ground on this epic undertaking was first broken in August 2019 and despite the outbreak of a global health pandemic, the project was completed according to schedule. It will forever transform AlcoNCP’s plant and processes with 85 million litres capacity of high-quality neutral alcohol for the food, beverage, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as well as a protein-rich animal feed, DDGS.
