New Biodiesel Plant will Produce Biofuels from Distillers Corn Oil

A biodiesel plant designed by WB Services, is under construction and will be integrated to the Adkins Energy LLC ethanol refinery in Lena, Illinois. The 2 MMgy biodiesel facility will use distillers corn oil, a co-product of ethanol production, as feedstock and will be capable of both enzymatic and chemical processing. The facility will begin production in October.
Bernie Hoffman, COO of WB Services, said Adkins Energy personnel have already begun training at their 2 MMgy Green Energy Products biodiesel plant in Kansas, an identical model of the plant at Adkins Energy but without the ethanol plant.
The renewable diesel facility will be replicated and integrated into at least two publicly announced ethanol plants, Prairie Horizon Agri-Energy and East Kansas Agri-Energy. Hoffman said those projects are still in the engineering phase.
