100 million gallon ethanol facility breaks ground in North Dakota
August 31, 2007
Tharaldson Ethanol broke ground on its $200 million project plant near Casselton, North Dakota. The plant includes a number of new features to reduce water usage and impact on local water resources. Steam from the ethanol heating process will be re-purposed throughout the plant rather than released to the atmosphere. A pipeline fro Fargo will provide 1 million gallons of treated wastewater per day, of which 400,000 will be returned to Fargo. The City of Fargo typically treats 12 million gallons of wastewater per day which is released into the Red River after processing.
The plant is notable for moving ahead as several other major projects have been sidelined by a unfavorable corn and ethanol prices, as well as tightening credit conditions.
