BDI Completes Biodiesel Retrofit Project in Spain

BDI-BioEnergy International AG has successfully completed the expansion of a biodiesel plant in Spain. Low-grade oils and fats will now be converted into second-generation biodiesel.

As the general contractor, BDI completed this retrofit project on time and handed it over after a successful acceptance run. As part of the order, the complete process control system of the plant was also brought up to date.

"Biodiesel producers are currently facing major challenges as a result of uncertainties with regard to the future European biofuel policy. However, the use of waste and residual materials is safeguarded due to the positive environmental aspects. With the BDI RetroFit Program, we can already integrate the necessary, well-developed solutions in plants for the requirements of tomorrow," said Edgar Ahn, a member of BDI's board and the company's chief science officer.
