Abstract: A process for the production of fuel alcohol from fermented plant mashes, without vinasse. In this process alcohol is produced from fermented mashes obtained from diverse raw plant materials. The process introduces a treatment of the mash, after fermentation and before distillation, by which treatment several substances contained in the fermented mash are removed, so that the distillation is fed with a purified beer. Distillation of this beer produces alcohol and does not produce vinasse.
