Portable blending station introduced

June 9, 2009

Bio Blend Fuels Inc. opened a self-contained biodiesel blending station in May alongside the company's new 2.6 MMgy biodiesel plant in Manitowoc, Wis. The American Fuel Blending System is a portable unit with above-ground heated storage and a self-contained dispensing system complete with credit card reader. Available with 5,000 or 10,000 gallon tanks, the unit can be used for B20, B50 and B99 blends, as well as programmed for individual blending requirements. Don and Tracy Kaderabek, founders of both companies, designed the blending station to compliment their processing system making biodiesel from animal fats. The heated tank of the blending station maintains the ideal temperature for optimal blending of the animal fat-based biodiesel, Don Kaderabek explained. Furthermore, the unit's portability would benefit construction and other industries that could move the units from site to site, and seasonal industries such as agriculture or recreation that would find the capacity minimizes end-of-season fuel inventories.
