Operations get underway in Florida

Operations have started at a biodiesel production facility in Groveland, Florida, US.

Owned by Greenwave Biodiesel, a key player in Florida's emerging biofuels industry, the plant has already produced its first batch of ASTM-certified biodiesel and is now preparing to begin production at commercial-scale.

The plant is fitted with technology provider Raptor Fabrication's production system, which has a 3.6 million gallon-a-year output capacity.

'The Greenwave plant is our first launch of the New Year and we have introduced exciting new remote monitoring technology in the plant, giving us the ability to monitor production and diagnose any problems, increasing overall production and customer satisfaction,' says Tom Gleason, president and CEO of Raptor Fabrication and Equipment.'
