I live in Minnesota and with the recent closing of one of the largest Bio-diesel plants in the US just a few months ago, I got curious and started keeping in contact with another plant over in WI. I got this picture from him over the weekend of the equipment he's using at his plant to produce over 1 million gallons of fuel a year in bio-diesel. I know this has nothing to do with BLDV but I thought everyone would like to see what a corn transfer bio-diesel machine looks like. It turns corn into Bio-diesel at the above mentioned rate. I'm sorry, I'm not that computer literate that I can get the pic to load onto here. If someone is willing to give me their email addy, I'll email it and then you can load the pic if you have the know how.
