Methes Canada hits production record in September, eyes doubling capacity

In Canada, over the last several weeks Methes Canada has made good use of the $1.5 million cash facility it received in August, resulting in September 2013 being the highest production month in gallons in its history. Furthermore, Methes Canada has already secured sufficient feedstock for the months of October and November 2013 to produce biodiesel which it expects will allow for its fiscal fourth quarter to be its best on record in production volume.

Methes Canada has completed an internal engineering review on the project to double capacity at its Sombra, Ontario, Canada facility from 13 Million gallons per year (MGY) to 26 MGY. The initial report confirms that there will be no need to add two more Denami 3000s on site in light of the fact that the two Denami 3000s already installed will be able, once retrofitted, to flow at double the current capacity resulting in substantial savings to the Company. As part of the project, the Company also intends to add a distillation column at the back end of the process to improve quality and efficiency.
