Beyond Beverage
Parallel Products is the nation's leader for the RECLAMATION of Industrial Alcohol residual and by-products streams. Our program reclaims what would otherwise be a waste to create alternative fuels and environmentally friendly industrial alcohol products.
Ethanol Recovery & Production
A Unique Business Idea
For over 25 years, Parallel Products has served a leadership role for energy efficiency, renewable energy and biofuels production within the recycling community. Until recently, our core business of creating ethanol from waste consumer goods was seen simply as a “unique business idea." However, as energy efficiency and the demand for renewable energy becomes an increasingly prominent part of our National, State and Local agendas, it has become a baseline for a burgeoning industry... Waste-Derived Renewable Fuels.
Our unique application of fermentation and distillation technologies creates a complete resource recovery and recycling opportunity for our customers. Each year, via fermentation, of sugar laden liquids and distillation of alcohol from beverage and industrial waste streams, Parallel Products produces over five (5) million gallons of waste-derived ethanol.
Ethanol Products Include:
1. Fuel Grade Ethanol: This is the “E” in the E-10 or E-85 that you burn in your cars. Our ethanol is used by major oil companies as a clean air additive in their gasoline blends and is considered an Advanced Biofuel by the RFS (Renewable Fuel Standards).
2. Industrial Ethanol Products: Ethanol is blended to make specific SDA (Specially Denatured Alcohol), CDA (Completely Denatured Alcohol) and other TTB regulated formulas. These products are used in a wide array of applications by many industries.
Fully utilizing resources and reducing waste has created our leadership role in the recycling and recovery of ethanol from the beverage, chemical, health & beauty and pharmaceutical industries. Our reclamation option provides generators with environmentally sound solutions and alternatives to hazardous waste disposal. Materials that would otherwise be unusable wastes now contribute to the production of 51 million gallons of gasoline and industrial alcohol products without the negative effects of food offsets and increased groundwater contamination.
Parallel Products is proud of our contribution to the development and production of renewable fuels. As a renewable resource, ethanol has many significant environmental benefits. For example, when used as a fuel additive in automobiles, ethanol:

Parallel Products is proud of our contribution to the development and production of renewable fuels. As a renewable resource, ethanol has many significant environmental benefits. For example, when used as a fuel additive in automobiles, ethanol:
Reduces tail pipe emissions and greenhouse gases by up to 10%
Reduces emissions of carbon dioxide - a highly toxic gas - by up to 30%
Results in a net reduction in ground-level ozone, a major component of urban smog and a health hazard to childrenand adults with respiratory problems
Helps to reduce our country's dependence on imports of foreign oilLinks To Other Useful Information About Ethanol
