Auction set for Oct. 8 for former San Juan Bioenergy plant

In Colorado, Mass Companies is holding a lender owned auction of the former San Juan Bioenergy plant that was built in 2008 on leased land in the Weber Industrial Park. The plant was designed to process 10,000 tons/Year of oilseed feedstock with multi-seed capabilities. The process used fluid bed technology with steam as the heat source, Roskamp/Champion hammer mills, Anderson Super Duo 33 expellers and mechanical separation. CPM’S Beta Raven was the system integrator. The facility was pelletizing the seed hulls and agricultural dockage to be burned in an onsite gasification system. The syngas that was created was used to supplement the gas needs of the on-site boiler. Excess pellets were bagged and then sold along with their food grade vegetable oil and animal meal/feed.

The auction will be held Oct. 8 at 10am.
