Earth Biofuels to upgrade biodiesel facility
Texas-based Earth Biofuels has finalised funds for upgrades to its 10 mgy Oklahoma biodiesel production facility.
The transaction includes the acquisition of more than 350 storage tanks, with capacities ranging from 8,000 to 39,000 gallons.
Approximately 30 of the tanks will be installed at the company’s Durant facility with a total storage capacity of more than 1 million gallons.
The remaining tanks will be sold to help provide funding for additional upgrades to the facility.
The upgrades include the installation of a pre-treatment process that will allow the facility to recover methanol used in the production process.
In addition to soyabean oil, the upgraded facility will be able to use beef tallow, yellow grease, and poultry fat as feedstocks.
The storage tanks are expected to be installed by July. Additional upgrades to the plant should be complete by August, with production beginning in September.
