Calgren plant up and running
According to Lurgi, a member of the Air Liquide group of companies in Memphis, Tennessee, US, California’s only fully operational ethanol plant is online.
An Ultra Low NOX gas turbine generator powers the Calgren plant, located in Pixley, with the ability to generate 5,800KW of electricity.
With its built-in process conversion technology, the facility will also produce 55 million gallons of ethanol annually, 400,000 tonnes of animal feed, and steam. The processed steam will reduce steam consumption by 20-25% compared with the industry norm.
The president of Calgren Renewable Fuels Lyle Schlyer said: ‘We believe that our collaboration with Lurgi on this facility has resulted in one of the most energy efficient ethanol plants in the country.’
