Imperium commences biodiesel production
After closing twice in the last year Imperium Renewables’ biofuels plant in Grays Harbour has finally reopened for business after resuming a limited production of biodiesel.
The plant, located in Seattle, US, produces biodiesel from canola and first ceased production around a year ago due to the rising costs of and decreasing demand for canola.
When the need for canola began to climb due Columbia and parts of Oregon requiring biodiesel blends, the plant began producing a restricted supply of biodiesel in November.
However in December the plant had to be shut down and production halted again when a glycerine tank ruptured. The tank has now been repaired and production has commenced. The CEO of Imperium Renewables John Plaza explained that the system had been improved to avoid any more damage.
