Technip awarded contract for a new biodiesel unit in France
Posted: 29 April 2006
Technip has been awarded by Diester Industrie a turnkey contract for a new biodiesel unit, based on the Axens process, to be built in Montoir-de-Bretagne, near Saint Nazaire, France.
The background of this project is the program set up by the French authorities for the development of biofuels, intended to reduce transportation-related air pollution and the dependence on imported energy.
This new unit, with a future capacity of 250,000 t/y, will start-up in the spring of 2007.
This project marks a new step in the collaboration between Technip and Diester Industrie, the pioneer and leader in France for the production of Diester: in 1995, Technip built a unit in Rouen, France and is currently carrying out the construction of two other units in Sète and Compiègne, France.
