Our project is an ongoing development of a successful bio-diesel satellite producer system.  It is intended to give farm cooperatives, towns and municipalities the ability to operate a small efficient bio-diesel processor.  We have designed our own semi-portable reactor system based on a common frame of equipment.  We manufacture all of our own bio-diesel equipment and constantly seek ways to make the production of bio-diesel an efficient and profitable business.  Currently we are developing other complimentary systems such as new uses for glycerin to aid in more efficient livestock manure management and direct power generation from bio-gases.  Our goal is to supply equipment which is self-sustaining, generating its own power and heat needs while freeing excess power for use in adjacent livestock operations or diversification into areas such as greenhouses.  We envision an eventual system of satellite bio-diesel processing plants to which we will provide ongoing support while developing a glycerin processing and marketing system.  We hope to establish a training center for prospective producers and operators and to aid in the support and quality of this system our eventual goal is to provide the services of a small lab specifically for testing fuel quality and providing all producers with a cost effective way to manage fuel quality.  Our whole concept is based on bringing a level of efficiency and systems integration to bio-diesel production that will encompass waste management and sustainability while being environmentally responsible.
