Biodiesel Facility Design

Project Description

Design and construction of a 100 million gallon per year “world class” biodiesel plant. At the time, this was the largest biodiesel facility in the world and was the first to utilize refinery quality design standards. Sacré-Davey was selected due to a combination of our biofuel experience and technology scale-up expertise. The scope included complete FEL engineering, detailed design, permit submission, air emissions modeling, construction management, commissioning, start-up, and performance testing of the plant. The design included a unique distillation system that could fractionate the biodiesel to make a cold climate compliant product. The project won the American Council of Engineering Companies Industrial Project of the Year award which recognizes engineering excellence and annually honors outstanding engineering accomplishments.
