This biodiesel refinery was originally constructed for the previous owners in 2005 by fagan engineering and utilized desmet ballestra's equipment. While the plant was design to process high ffa feedstock with acid esterification, it was only commissioned to process soybean oil. The current owners purchased the facility in 2009. The plant was refurbished and upgraded (see below) to produce a near water white biodiesel that exceeds all astm specs including the new monoglyceride and cold soak spec. The plant was never fully commissioned after the upgrades were completed in 2010 and is now sitting idle. The capacity was expected to be 7 - 10 million gallons per year.
