Massive tanks roll through Fulton
Posted by cotoole October 24, 2007 16:10PM
Anyone planning to drive through Fulton tomorrow morning can expect some delays.

Catie O'TooleRay Porter, a boilermaker from Oswego, stands on top of the 140-ton tank this afternoon at Northeast Biofuels in Volney.

That's because a 140-ton storage tank will make its way through the city.

Earlier today, another massive tank traveled from Indian Point Landing, south onto Route 481 and then onto Route 57 just south of the city to Northeast Biofuels ethanol plant on Owens Road in Volney.

Tomorrow's trip is expected to start between 9:30 and 10 a.m., and last about three hours.

Two weeks ago, two other 140-ton tanks came on a barge from the Honeywell chemical plant in Hopewell, Va. to Indian Point Landing in Fulton, said Dan Clark, project manager for Lockwood Brothers which coordinated the trip.

Those tanks also ended up at the ethanol plant.

Ethanol production at the former Miller brewery near Fulton could begin early next year, said Northeast Biofuels manager Brian Roach.

Northeast Biofuels will produce carbon dioxide during the fermentation process. About 325,000 tons of carbon dioxide will be captured and sold to Linde Gas, formerly BOC Gases, a company official said.

Linde Gas will clean the gas, compress it, liquify it, transport it to distribution sites in the Northeast and sell it to clients for carbonating beverages and flash-freezing foods, Roach said.

"From an environmental standpoint, this will be one of the cleanest and carbon-free ethanol plants in the nation," said Stewart Hancock, a Northeast Biofuels spokesman.

The Northeast Biofuels ethanol plant is currently under construction, but will soon make 114 million gallons a year of ethanol from corn.

"It will have a direct economic impact of about $500 million," Hancock said. "That's the operation of the plant, purchasing of materials."

During the last several months, Northeast Biofuels has hired a management staff of two Onondaga County residents and seven Oswego County residents, said Roach, of Mexico. They oversee the entire ethanol plant, he said.

About 500 construction workers from local labor unions, including plumbers and steamfitters, electricians, carpenters, operating engineers and other construction trades are working on the project now, Hancock said.
