Excerpt from Biobased Diesel Daily: Even though the facility is not currently configured for biodiesel production or any of the other services the company has planned, Burke said the 30,000 square-foot facility will house the waste cooking oil reclamation and recycling program, biodiesel production, administrative offices, a public education and demonstration space, and warehousing and distribution services.

“We are about 45 days away from installing the initial biodiesel production line,” Burke said. “Once that is configured, installed and commissioned, we are ready to start producing biodiesel fuel for resale.”

Burke said Clean Air Biodiesel will be installing a modular transesterification system that allows the plant to “easily add another biodiesel production line as demand increases. Each individual production plant can produce 3.2 million gallons annually. We are starting with a single production line and ramping up as necessary.”
