Dairy Biorefinery to Include Biodiesel, Later Algae

XL Dairy Group Inc. is currently expanding its 2,500-head dairy operation to 7,500 dairy cattle in Vicksburg, Ariz., the first step in developing its integrated biorefinery complex. Biomethane from anaerobic digestion will produce 11 megawatts of power while providing enough process heat and steam to make 54 MMgy of ethanol and 5 MMgy of biodiesel. Start-up is targeted for the first quarter of 2009, after which the company plans to incorporate algae into its feedstock stream, which would boost biodiesel capacity six-fold to 30 MMgy.
