Mission New Energy adds distillation column at Malaysian facility, will expand exports to US
In Malaysia, Mission NewEnergy announced that it has received the first shipment of distillation column equipment at its refineries in Kuantan Port. Servicing both Mission’s refineries, M1 and M2, installation commenced in October 2010. The distillation column will allow Mission to increase the purity of the biodiesel and provide further refining flexibility to tailor product to different international markets and specifications.
This is expected to increase the marketability of Mission’s biodiesel around the globe. Mission will be able to offer palm based biodiesel that exceeds the United States, ASTM D6751 quality standard. We expect this to create commercial opportunity for Mission, as historically, palm based biodiesel has enjoyed a cost advantage to soybean oil based biodiesel produced in the United States.
