From looking online, I think that the output's for industrial purposes, not drinking.

today our company is ready to offer domestic manufacturers more than 1000 different chemical substances. And these are not only products for the production of household and technical chemicals, cosmetics and hygiene products, but also ingredients for the production of paints and varnishes, fertilizers and plant protection products

According to the Biokhim website, it produces "products of strategic importance for the state," particular ethanol, a solvent which is used in the manufacture of a wide range of products including explosives.
