AGP recently completed a major expansion project at its Sergeant Bluff, Iowa, biodiesel production facility&mdash;the nation&rsquo;s first commercial-scale biodiesel plant, built in 1996. Production capacity at AGP&rsquo;s Sergeant Bluff biodiesel plant doubled from 30 to 60 MMgy. The biodiesel expansion project was first announced November 2015.
Officials at the company told&nbsp;Biodiesel Magazine that the biodiesel expansion project was completed July 23 and the plant is now operating at its increased annual capacity. &nbsp;
The biodiesel expansion project was coupled with construction of AGP&rsquo;s new on-site soybean oil refinery, which supplies feedstock to the biodiesel plant.
AGP&rsquo;s Sergeant Bluff complex in Iowa now features integrated soybean processing, soybean oil refining and large-scale biodiesel production.&nbsp;
AGP owns nine soybean processing facilities across the Midwest&mdash;with its tenth currently under construction in Aberdeen, South Dakota&mdash;and three biodiesel production facilities with installed capacity totaling 150 MMgy.&nbsp;
