1 million gal production plants. Where do I find one

I had a link and a phone number for one. It was a nice set-up, but I guess they went away.

I have searched for production facilities, but I don't get any places that have them for sale.

Looking for a million gallons a year or so. Local guy who needs 5K gallons a week is interested in finding out what the real cost is going to be.

Re: 1 million gal production plants. Where do I find one

You might go over to infopop and see if you can raise "The Trouts". Bob ran a million gallon facility that used WVO for feedstock until they went bankrupt last fall. He gave a very good presentation at the Bio Diesel Conference in Golden CO last July on costs and procedures. They did not go tits up because of mismanagement BTW, major investor pulled his money out. I believe Bob is with Piedmont Bio Diesel in NC now.

There is a BD plant in Denver that just went to bankruptcy, Colorado BioDiesel, I believe. I have a phone number at home and will append this post with the number when my sister finally kicks me out of Sunny Arizona and makes me go home to Nebraska. All indicators point to Sunday morning.
