Hello Peter There's been some discussion on the Biofuels list about why your company has to use a free web hosting service like Geocities, with it's annoying banner ads and so on - not something to inspire confidence among would-be clients, one would have thought.
Also, I've found that Ocean Air Environmental / NOPEC doesn't respond to email enquiries. I contacted your company about its change of name some months ago when I was told about it by World Energy Alternatives, asking for further information so I could update your details at our (very popular) Biofuels Supplies and Suppliers page, but never got a reply. You have two entries, if you want to check - under Biodiesel suppliers and Biodiesel technology: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_supply.html Best wishes Keith Addison Journey to Forever Handmade Projects Tokyo http://journeytoforever.org/ >Ocean Air Environmental formally NOPEC owns the Lakeland Florida >facility the largest Biodiesel refinery in the world (methyl ester) >our existing capacity exceeds 10,000,000 gallons per year, with the >ability to increase capacity to 18,000,000 per year. > >Visit our Biodiesel Website: www.oceanairenvironmental.com >http://www.oceanairenvironmental.com >THIS SITE IS UNDER RE-DEVELOPMENT > >Ocean Air provides engineering and technology licensing rights / >PROVEN KNOW HOW to several international entities some of which are >based in the following countries: Poland, Spain, Thailand... with >additional facilities under development throughout the United States. > >It should be noted, that the unique nature of ocean air's proven >technology affords the refiner the ability to produce (methyl ester) >biodiesel from many different sources of feedstock (OAE Biodiesel can >be produced from recycled oils (yellow grease) and animal fats >(tallow, lard, poultry fat).
