Ener-Core, Inc., a developer of innovative gas conversion technologies for global commercial and industrial facilities, has delivered two of its 2 MW sized Power Oxidizers to the Stockton Biorefinery site owned by Pacific Ethanol. The Power Oxidizers, after delivery and installation with the Dresser-Rand KG2 turbine, are expected to provide up to 3.5 MW of electricity and over 26,000 pounds of steam/hr from the two Power Station units. The Power Stations will provide Pacific Ethanol with a first-of-its-kind solution that can reduce air pollution by converting by-product low-quality waste gases generated by the Stockton plant’s ethanol production into useful electricity and steam.- Turf Feeding Systems, a Houston company, has teamed with AgriProjects, a South African company, to create special high-yield seed oil production for the Monarca Biojetfuel refinery in the Yucatan of Mexico. According to Turf Feeding Systems, this is the first biofuel project in the world to combine a 33,000 hectare Jatropha plantation producing feed oil with a refinery on site and transform jobs and the region’s economy.
