Biodiesel plant opens in Acton
A joint venture between Everpure Biodiesel Coop. and Zuraw Technologies has seen the construction of a new biodiesel plant in Acton, Ontario, Canada.
The facility means that Everpure can now collect waste vegetable oil from eateries around the local area before Zuraw Technologies converts it into biodiesel in the new plant.
Prior to the construction of the biofuel production facility Everpure sold biodiesel that had been acquired from outside the region.
‘Zuraw Technologies has recently started production of biodiesel using 100% recycled vegetable oil collected by the Everpure Biodiesel Coop. as part of its ‘Local Communities’ Initiative’, said Phil Mount of Everpure. ‘The used oil currently comes from a dozen restaurants in the region but more are joining the co-op’s pilot project every day.
Within a year the plant has been predicted to increase its production capacity from 500 litres to 5,000 litres each week.
