The MPU fits within a standard 8' x 8' x 40' shipping > container, and when located at a production site, fits easily onto a > 60' x 70' pad with all ancillary equipment. Power and process heat > for the MPU are supplied by a Caterpillar generator, running on 100% > biodiesel, of course. > > The MPU is located at Haycock Petroleum, adjacent to the CalNev > petroleum pipeline terminal in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Haycock sales > team, led by Marty O'Connor and Gary Weinberg, has already > successfully secured some substantial long term contracts for > biodiesel (described elsewhere in this newsletter). > > Interest in the MPU has begun to spread. Biodiesel Industries has > been commissioned to undertake several feasibility studies for the > placement of our MPU's into both domestic and international markets. > Because of the sensitive nature of these contacts, I cannot provide > full details at this time.

If the plant is > >built into containers as opposed to in separate trucks there is decreased > >cost as one doesn't have the high maintenance and initial purchase costs of > >the multiple trucks.

When there is a need for expansion, > >simply add an additional container with its equipment.
