Advertisement
Lurgi AG, a subsidiary of the GEA Group, is to implement the world's largest biodiesel project in Piesteritz, Eastern Germany. The order is worth EUR 64 million and was awarded by Neckermann-Renewables GmbH, a firm based in Würzburg, Germany. The new plant will use rapeseed to produce more than 200,000 tons of biodiesel per year and is due to come on stream in December 2006.
The plant will be the first in Germany to provide an end-to-end production process - from the introduction of the seed and its processing to the prepressing and extraction stages and, finally, to the processing of crude oil and the production of biodiesel. Lurgi will be supplying all the equipment and materials as well as commissioning the plant and training the customer's staff.
