Project Brief

The aim of this project was to build a new rum distillery in the Caribbean. Based on the success of a previous project with the client, FDT were appointed to lead the process design and project management of the project up to the point of installation and commissioning of the new distillery.

The distillery takes in fresh sugar cane juice from an integrated milling facility. The cane all comes from the island. The fresh made rum is put into casks on site and then matured.

• Process design, including cane handling (liaising with specialised suppliers), rum distillation and vinasse handling.
• Full site utility design, including power generation.
• The supervision and coordination between the different process vendors involved with the project.
