PFOD Debuts at WEFTEC

This week PFOD made its debut at WEFTEC, one of the largest water conferences in the country. This year, the Chicago’s McCormick Place hosted over 10,000 attendees and exhibitors from the water industry in the US and abroad. At PFOD’s exhibition booth we spoke to hundreds of municipalities and manufacturers’ repress interested in PFOD’s innovate technology and the capacity to convert trap grease into biodiesel. Most attendees had heard of biodiesel but were not aware that it could be made from their sewer trap grease. PFOD consistently heard stories about the current struggles these water agencies are experiencing managing the grease and their interest in a beneficial reuse program, particularly one that would help them reduce their carbon footprint. After 4 days and hundreds of booth visitors, PFOD learned many things, including that it’s worth splurging for a chair for staff working the booth next year.

Northwest Biofuels Association Seeks PFOD Expertise

The Northwest Biofuels Association invited PFOD to speak at their first Brown Grease to Biofuels Stakeholder Meeting in Vancouver, WA. PFOD participated by conference call, with the kind onsite assistance of EPA’s Deborah Taevs. The workshop brought together area trap grease haulers, government agencies, and biodiesel producers to discuss opportunities for converting brown grease into biodiesel. Unheard of several years ago, the growing frequency of meetings addressing the use of trap grease for biodiesel is a signal of the growing market awareness and interest. As the industry leader, PFOD continues to educate the operators about this market opportunity and our pioneering, proven technology
