Fusel Oil Testing Services – Control Quality, Improve Yield, and Meet Compliance

If you are in the distillery, ethanol, biofuel, or solvent industry, you already know how critical fusel oil testing is for product quality and process efficiency.
Uncontrolled higher alcohols not only reduce ethanol purity but can also affect fuel performance, odor, and compliance with BIS/ASTM standards.

SWA Environmental Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad’s trusted environmental and chemical testing laboratory, we help industries maintain top-quality production with
accurate fusel oil and higher alcohol analysis.

What Is Fusel Oil and Why It Must Be Tested?

Fusel oil is a mixture of higher alcohols — mainly isoamyl, isobutyl, and propyl alcohols — generated during fermentation and distillation.
These compounds are valuable for recovery but harmful in excess.

Uncontrolled fusel oil levels can lead to:

Off-spec ethanol batches (purity <99.5%)
Odor and taste defects in alcohol products
Reduced calorific value in fuel-grade ethanol
Equipment corrosion and scaling
Non-compliance with pollution control norms

That’s why top ethanol plants, distilleries, and biofuel units partner with SWA Environmental Pvt. Ltd. for fusel oil testing and process optimization.
