EverCat Fuels plans 3Mgy demo-scale biodiesel plant using Mcgyan process

In Minnesota, SarTec announced that it would launch a demonstration-scale 3 Mgy advanced biodiesel facility using the Mcgyan process. The company, operating as EverCat Fuels, has been producing 100 gallons of biodiesel per day in a pilot-scale project in conjunction with three professors at Augsburg College (McNeff, Gyberg, and Yan) who gave their names to the patent-pending process.

The Mcgyan process uses a heterogeneous metal oxide-based catalyst reactor to produce biodiesel at a high rate of efficiency. The company is reportedly investigating algae as a biodiesel feedstock.
