From Plants to Energy - DI article about IBI

"An IBRL truck makes a half-mile drive to Ikenberry to pick up barrels of the leftover cooking oil from Ikenberry. Once at the lab, the team goes through pre-processing, processing and purification of the soon-to- be biodiesel.
Since last summer, IBI has been in the midst of a major rehaul. The former 50-gallon batch processor is being upgraded to a 500-gallon processor. Over the past two semesters, the team has only picked up twice from Ikenberry strictly for testing purposes on the new processor. The project is expected to be completed this fall.
One of the unique qualities of the RSO is the diversity of the work. IBI includes a production, soap and quality control team with other executive positions as well."
Biodiesel Initiative makes further plans
Associated Project(s):The Illinois Biodiesel Initiative met with staff to discuss their plans for the near future. They will be working with Housing Dining Services to create and sell soap from the byproduct of their biodiesel production.
