Romanian President and US Embassy Officials to Attend Dedication Ceremonies
for Eastern Europe's First Biodiesel Plant to Go Online
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenline Industries, the
EPA Award winning leader in the design and construction of biodiesel
production facilities, and ULEROM, one of Romania's largest agri-business
corporations, today announced the formal opening of their largest facility
in Vaslui, Romania. The 7 million GPY plant is the first biodiesel
production facility to operate in Eastern Europe.
The President of Romania, the honorable Traian Basescu, is invited to
formally open the facility. The plant is a key element in the ability of
Romania to meet the EU's requirement for 5.75% Biofuels based on the
country's extensive agrarian holdings. Officials from the American Embassy
in Romania were on hand to emphasize the American origin of the plant built
by Greenline Industries of San Rafael, California.
"This biodiesel plant is a tribute to international cooperation, the
facility was designed in the United States, built in Germany and Romania,
and installed by a team from both the US and Romania," according to Adrian
Porumboiu, owner of the Racova Group which encompasses ULEROM. "This
facility has more than just a business reason to exist; it represents a big
step in the direction of energy independence, a logical and lucrative
outlet for our crops and a serious playing card in the worldwide battle
against warming and pollution."
The Romanian facility is the seventeenth example of Greenline's award
winning technology featuring waterless wash, computerized, continuous flow
and modular construction. There are an additional twenty other plants
either under construction or under contract on three continents. The
Greenline technology places the emphasis on two key issues in the biodiesel
industry: the process itself has to be environmentally clean, and the
design allows for rapid deployment of small to medium sized plants anywhere
in the world.
"The plant was delivered on skids, trucked in to Vaslui on
regular-sized trailers from our manufacturing facility in Germany. Assembly
was done locally in a very short time, using local labor and skills," said
Mr. Michael Brown, Greenline's Chairman of the Board. "I am proud to be
here on this landmark date for Romania and I am equally proud of the team
that designed and built this facility."
