Overview

Imperium Renewables Inc. (IRI) is a national leader in next generation biodiesel refining and manufacturing technology. IRI is a technology driven producer and provider of biodiesel. The company goal is to develop proprietary technology and processes across the value chain that enable IRI to deliver a gallon of biodiesel cheaper than a petroleum production facility can manufacture #2 diesel (assuming $40 crude). To achieve this goal the company has developed and continues to develop proprietary technology and processes in both the production facility and oil feedstock areas of the biodiesel value chain. IRI process and technology innovations enable the company to deliver improvements in product quality and throughput while reducing capital and operating expenditures significantly. The company has developed and deployed, at a commercial scale production facility, innovations including the ultra efficient Pressurized "Pulse Reactor", an Active Methanol Recovery System, and an Adsorbent Enhanced Polishing Process. IRI is the first company in 11 western states to open and operate a commercial scale (5 million gallons a year) ASTM quality biodiesel production facility (Seattle Biodiesel, LLC). Since the Spring of 2005 IRI has been selling fuel to the leading NW fuel distributors. IRI plans to develop projects and design, build, own and operate a world wide network of biodiesel production facilities that employ its proprietary technology...
