ANCAP/ALUR Uruguay
ANCAP is the state owned oil company in Uruguay and ALUR is the company created to produce renewable energy. The company has procured an Ageratec multi feedstock plant PE48000 with a total capacity of 16000 tons per year. The total investment is 6 million USD. The plant was inaugurated in October 2009 and is now producing at 100% Name Plate capacity. More than 1 million liter has been produced.
The plant is co-located within the vegetable oil company COUSA and the raw material for the plant is currently vegetable oil (soy oil and sunflower oil) during a first period. The processor is prepared to be flexible in raw material and ALUR plan to alternate the feedstock for animal fat in the future. The produced biodiesel will be used for a blend of 2% in the fossil diesel in the country.
More information about the biodiesel plant and Uruguay’s energy policy is found on ALUR's homepage www.alur.com.uy
Transportes Ceferino Martinez, Spain
Transportes Ceferino Martinez is a large trucking company situated north of Barcelona in Spain. In May 2007 a P16000 was delivered and has since then been operating in full capacity (16000 liters/24h). The feedstock is soybean oil, palm oil and used cooking oils depending of which feedstock has the lowest price. Recently Transportes Ceferino Martinez bought a Catalan company to collect Used Cooking Oil for all the Barcelona surroundings.
The biodiesel is used in the company trucks as B100 during summer and B50 during winter time but also sold publically at a pumping station installed at the plant. Read more about it on Transportes Ceferino Martinez own homepage www.trans-c-martinez.com.
FAME Biorefinery Corp, Alberta Canada
Fame Biorefinery Corp. completed commissioning of its 1 MMLY pilot plant, an Ageratec Biodiesel processor PE3000, near Airdrie, Alberta summer of 2009. The plant is delivering ASTM-D6751 specification biodiesel and premium canola meal for evaluation purposes to Western Canadian customers. The feedstock for the biodiesel is fats and oils with various quality profiles. One of which is distressed, non-food grade (frost damaged and heat damaged) canola seed to produce biodiesel and high value co-products.
Fame’s pilot plant is an “off-grid” facility, which produces its own electricity and process heat, and the firm’s approach is demonstrating the feasibility of regional scale, distributed biodiesel production using locally sourced, non-food grade feedstocks.
Fame is currently engaged in an applied research partnership with Olds College’s Biofuels Technology Centre, to evaluate an extensive range of distressed oilseed feedstocks using the Fame pilot plant, featuring Ageratec’s innovative technology. Fame anticipates that this will facilitate the establishment of 10 to 12 regional biorefineries across Western Canada over the next five years.” Read more www.famebiorefinery.com/
IRST (Institute of Scientific and Technological Research), Rwanda
In July 2008 an Ageratec biodiesel processor PE2000 was installed at the bio fuel laboratory of IRST for research and developmental purposes. The institute is lead by Director General Dr Nduwayezu,homepage www.irst.ac.rw.
The aim for the bio fuel laboratory is to test different local raw materials such as moringa, avocado seeds and Jatropha for biodiesel production and another is to set a standard for biodiesel for this region of Africa. The processor has a capacity of 2000 litres per day and the raw material as a start is crude palm oil with a high FFA content.
In order to secure the electricity for the laboratory IRST has also bought a 200kW generator from Ageratec. The generator is equipped with auto start and runs on biodiesel. Besides for electricity the biodiesel (B100) is used for the vehicles of the institute and government as well as for a long distance Scania bus, the Rwanda Biodiesel Exptress.

Tolefors gård, Sweden
The first Ageratec biodiesel processor was installed at Tolefors gård in 2006 and since then biodiesel has been produced on the site. During the first years the raw material came from the oil of canola/rapeseed grown on the farm. In 2009 a PE2000 was installed. This machine made it possible to process waste oils such UCO with high FFA percentage. The biodiesel produced at Tolefors is sold to the municipal of Linköping where it is used to heat schools and apartments in the local community. Read more www.bioenergiportalen.se/?p=4283
Karaby gård, Sweden
In January 2009 an Ageratec biodiesel processor PE3000 was installed at Karaby gård in Sweden. The biodiesel processor is producing 3000 litres of biodiesel each day and the raw material is UCO (Used Cooking Oil) from a food industry nearby and canola oil. A purchase agreement has been made between Karaby gård and the municipal of Karlstad who runs its vehicles; busses, cars etc on the biodiesel. Read more
