Pacific Biodiesel, Inc. – Creating Renewable Fuel |
Created
to answer to grave concerns over potential environmental and health
problems resulting from restaurant grease clogging the Central Maui
Landfill, Robert King, owner of King Diesel on Maui, started with
a small scale, economically feasible operation to maintain the generators
at the landfill. They went on to attack an even larger problem for
the Landfill – grease trap waste.
With the addition of a custom designed
grease trap oil processor, they were then able to supply their own
boiler fuel, diverting 140 tons of grease trap oil from the landfill
each month. This biofuel product is available for considerably less
than petroleum diesel fuel. Biodiesel is a completely natural, renewable
fuel applicable in most any situation where conventional petroleum
diesel is used. It is 100% vegetable oil based. The fuel produced
by Pacific Biodiesel, Inc. in Hawaii is made primarily from recycled
cooking oil and used mostly in generators of all sizes, commercial
diesel equipment, vehicles, and marine vessels.
Since the opening of the Maui processing
plant, it has become more economical for pump trucks to deliver
used restaurant oil to Pacific Biodiesel than to landfill it, resulting
in a landfill diversion total of over 40 tons of used cooking oil
per month.
