Purity Distilling Company : ウィキペディア英語版 | Purity Distilling Company
The Purity Distilling Company was a chemical firm based in Boston Massachusetts and specializing in the production of ethanol (C2H6O) through the distillation process. It was a subsidiary of United States Industrial Alcohol Company, who purchased the company in 1917. ==Boston Molasses Disaster==
In 1919, one of its large molasses tanks collapsed at 529 Commercial Street. It was a huge tank (50 ft tall, 240 ft around) and held as much as 2.3 million gallons of molasses. This led to the Boston Molasses Disaster in the North End neighborhood of Boston. Twenty-one people died, and the cleanup took about 6 months to complete, after which the company was sued and forced to pay over $1 million in settlement claims.
