Biodiesel Fuel Plant: 15,000 square feet

Project Overview:

Sanimax is Wisconsin’s largest biodiesel fuel plant that will produce twenty million gallons per year by converting tallow, greases and virgin oils, such as soybeans, into a clean burning fuel. Located in a 15,000 square foot building with a four-story distillation tower, the patented processing system with distillation process produces an ASTM spec biodiesel with a superior grade glycerin product. The plant has a 24-hour operation, 365 days a year with rail and road access.
