I wonder if part of the advantage in Brazil is they don't make them take all the water out. I think getting to 190 proof is a lot easier than the 200 proof required here. Read something recently that a little water reduces the corrosiveness as well.
I'll ask a engineer I work with at a couple ethanol plants next time he drops by.
