IPT reduces biodiesel capex to $0.10 per gallon for 60 Mgy project
In Nevada, International Procurement Tools announced that they had developed a biodiesel construction platform that would bring down ‘pipe to pipe’ installed costs for a 60 Mgy biodiesel system (100,000 tons/year) to $6 million, or ten cents per gallon of installed capacity.
Smaller or larger units are available in increments of 35,000 T/Yr units based on the waterless technology pioneered by the University of Kassel, installed in over 30 sites worldwide and priced according to size. In its various configurations, the modular, skid mounted units have handled a wide variety of feedstock from RBD soy to animal fats with a burgeoning interest from several algae based technologies.
“The single largest hurdle in putting a biodiesel facility online is access to capital,” stated Robert Luiten, IPT co-founder. “By offering solid technology at rock bottom pricing, IPT can get a biodiesel facility up and running within the type of budget that the banks are looking for.”
