Pellet Technology USA (PTUSA) announced today the completion of construction and proof of concept of its Commercial Demonstration Facility in Gretna, Nebraska.
"Our commitment to invest in a high-tech Commercial Demonstration Facility in Gretna reflects the significant opportunity and potential we see for our business in Nebraska, the Midwest and the Texas Panhandle. We strive for 100% consistency and quality in our solutions by utilizing the best commercial-grade construction, exacting engineering and modern technology available. This facility with the investment of private equity and a Research and Development Grant from the state of Nebraska will further that endeavor." said Russ Zeeck, COO and Founder of PTUSA.
Being in Gretna, Nebraska is a key to maneuverability. PTUSA is able to reach a wide range of feedstock suppliers, qualified engineering companies and has close access to end users such as livestock feedlots. Being in Gretna also centralizes a location between multiple universities that are willing to assist PTUSA in feed studies and the location geographically meets the needs for building strategic agreements with equipment manufacturers, construction companies and engineering firms.
"Having a full-scale Commercial Demonstration Facility available for research and development activity allows for PTUSA's customers to have confidence in our advances in the biomass sector." said Zeeck.
Construction and engineering of this facility was completed by ICM Inc. on time and within budget the latter part of 2013. To date, PTUSA has processed thousands of acres of biomass through the Commercial Demonstration Facility for research & development purposes with commercial production plant site development on the near horizon.
