Project
Building a sustainable rum distillery in the Caribbean
Following the success of a previous collaboration, FDT, now part of NIRAS was appointed to lead the process design and project management for a new rum distillery in the Caribbean. The distillery processes fresh sugar cane juice from an integrated milling facility on the island, producing rum that is matured on-site.
