Smithfield To Turn Hog Waste Into Fuel

Bio Clean Fuel Smithfield Foods Inc. (SFD.N), the nation's largest pork producer, said on Friday it will build a $20 million facility in Utah that will use waste from 500,000 hogs to make biodiesel, a renewable vehicle fuel.

Yes, ULSD fuels have a lower BTU value and thus when burned in a diesel engine will result in less power. Cetane enhanced products can offset this power loss. Cetane is a high energy compound that makes the fuel burn more completely in the combustion chamber, resulting in more power, reduced emissions, and improved fuel economy. Power Service diesel additives contain "+ Cetane Boost" to offset this power loss while also improving fuel economy and reducing emissions.

Earth Bio Fuel Biodiesel is an alternative fuel that can be made from any fat including vegetable oil and used cooking oil. About 15 million gallons were used in the United States last year.

ULSD was mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be sold at all retail pumps by October of 2006. This new fuel is a reduced sulfur content formula of diesel fuel. Sulfur content went from 50 parts per million (ppm) to 15 ppm in this new fuel. The reduction of sulfur is mandated to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions 2. Do new diesel engines require use of ULSD

Bio Flight Fuel Green Jb100 Smithfield said it will be the major partner in BEST BioFuel LLC, a partnership that will build the plant at Smithfield-owned swine production facilities near Milford, Utah.

Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste ``Livestock waste can be a source of clean, renewable vehicle fuel,'' said Robert F. Urell, Smithfield senior vice president, engineering and environmental affairs, in a news release.

New research has indicated that more investment in energy efficiency could help to reduce fuel poverty.

Make Bio Fuel The Smithfield facility will be built at Circle Four Farms in southwest Utah. Construction is scheduled to start in April, pending final approval of a conditional use permit and a permit from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality.

New research from Halifax has shown that over 25% of homeowners have undertaken energy and fuel saving improvements to their property in the least year.

Bio Fuel Jb100 Jet Properties Smithfield's Utah swine operation produces about 1 million market hogs a year, and the biodiesel project will use the waste from about half of those hogs, the company said.

Fuel Cell Bio ``The Utah facility is a specially suited location for this because we are able to order the waste in pipes,'' said Dennis Treacy, Smithfield's vice president of environmental affairs and government relations.

Bio Conversion Fuel About 90 percent of U.S. biodiesel is made from soybean oil. U.S. biodiesel use increased to about 15 million gallons in 2002 from 500,000 in 1999.

Green Energy For the Smithfield project hog waste will be collected and processed into biogas which will then be converted into biomethanol. The biomethanol will be transported to a plant outside of Utah for processing into biodiesel fuel using soybean oil, animal fat or used cooking oil.

Bio Ethanol Fuel Use of animal waste for biodiesel is rare but the methanol from the waste could be used for the fuel, said Fred Mayes, a manager at the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the statistical arm of the U.S. Department of Energy.

Bio Clean Fuel ``By starting with methanol, which is a fairly clean substance compared with grease, you are improving the mix and my guess is you would be improving some of the specific characteristics of the biodiesel,'' Mayes said.

Earth Bio Fuel The Smithfield facility could start producing fuels as early as October, the company said.

Bio Flight Fuel Green Jb100 Smithfield Foods is the leading processor and marketer of fresh pork and processed meats, and the largest hog producer, in the United States.
